Box Score DES MOINES, Iowa – The Drake University football team couldn't overcome a quick start by South Dakota as the Coyotes topped the Bulldogs 77-7 in the 2017 season opener Saturday at Drake Stadium.
"South Dakota played a great game and for a first game they played a flawless game. We didn't play disciplined poised football. We made a lot of mistakes in every phase of the game and we can't do that against a good team like South Dakota. So we are going to come back, work hard, get better and move forward," said Drake head coach Rick Fox.
