The Bulldogs took the week seven bye-week to regroup for the final five games of the season. Before Drake’s bye-week, they lost a tightly contested game against Dayton at home. The Dogs traveled to Poughkeepsie, New York in week eight to collect a 19-14 win against Marist.
Drake, after the bye, turned it around and was able to get back to their game. Quarterback Grant Kraemer completed 12 of 19 passes for 144 yards with zero touchdowns and zero interceptions. Two weeks ago, Kraemer also completed 12 passes but with 40 attempts. Kraemer went down in the third quarter with a knee injury and is questionable for this week.
