DES MOINES, Iowa – The Drake football team was back in Drake Stadium for the first time in over a month on Saturday afternoon and put on a show for the Des Moines faithful that came out for Parents and Family Weekend. The Bulldogs picked up their first conference win of the year, defeating Valparaiso handedly, 41-0.
The Bulldog defense made the first big play of the afternoon to spark some momentum for the home side. After the Bulldog offense went three-and-out on the opening possession of the game, Valpo took over from the Drake 40-yard line and was on the move.
