Drake senior offensive lineman Bennet Krebs says the Bulldogs don’t mind having a target on their back as they get ready for a new season. The Bulldogs entered the 2023 with limited expectations but proceeded to run the table in winning the Pioneer Football League title with a record of 8-0 and making the FCS playoffs. They begin this season as the PFL favorite.

Drake played well in close games last season. Six of their league victories were by a touchdown or less. Krebs says a large number of veterans will help the Bulldogs handle the expectations.

Krebs is one of two starters back on the offensive line and he likes the potential.

Drake opens at home on August 29th against Quincy University.
