DES MOINES, Iowa -- The Drake football team jumped out to an impressive start and its defense made another final stand in a 20-14 Pioneer Football League win over Valparaiso on Saturday, Oct. 7.
"It's exciting to win," head coach Todd Stepsis said. "Valpo is a good PFL team and they will win some games this year. They (Valpo) gave us some issues at times on offense. Luke (Bailey) made some great throws and we had some great catches. Jacob (Thompson) made a lot of big plays for us on defense. I'm proud of the team, excited to celebreate and can't wait to get back to work tomorrow.
