Drake coach Todd Stepsis says great teams find a way to win and that is what the Bulldogs did last week in a 30-28 victory over San Diego. Drake squandered a 27-9 fourth quarter lead before putting together a late drive that resulted in a game winning 48-yard field goal on the final play of the game.

It was Drake’s 12th straight Pioneer Football League victory dating back to 2021. Nine of them have been by a touchdown or less.

The Bulldogs are on the road in the PFL on Saturday to take on Valparaiso. Drake edged the Beacons 20-14 last year in Des Moines.
