U-N-I wide receiver Sam Schnee says the offense had a disappointing performance against Iowa State and they want to turn that around at home against ninth ranked Weber State. The Redshirt senior from Dubuque had four catches for 34 yards in a 30-9 loss at Iowa State.
Quarterback Theo Day was a part of the offensive woes, and Schnee believes he will bounce back.
Drake coach Todd Stepsis says the Bulldogs hope to bounce back from a dissapointing effort Saturday night when they host defending NAIA champion Northwestern College. Drake opened with a 55-7 loss at 15th ranked North Dakota. After trailing 14-0 at halftime the game unraveled in the second half.
North Dakota piled up 652 yards of offense in that game, including 288 on the ground.
Defending national camp Northwestern is top ranked in the NAIA Poll and opened the season with a 48-35 win over Concordia of Nebraska.
Stepsis says the Drake offense will need to keep pace.
Stepsis says the Red Raiders are highly skilled on offense.

Iowa quarterback Cade McNamara will get his first taste of the Cy-Hawk series when the Hawkeyes visit Iowa State in their 70th meeting. Two years ago, McNamara was the starting quarterback for Michigan when the Wolverines played Michigan State.
McNamara says in-state games include added emotion.
McNamara was limited by a quad strain in a season opening win over Utah State and feels it is making progress.
The injury has limited McNamra’s mobility in the pocket.
Iowa needs to find a way to solve Iowa State’s 3-3-5 defense that has smothered the run game the past couple of years. The Hawkeyes have only averaged 62 and-a-half yards on the ground in the last two meetings and the run game did not look promising against Utah State.
