Two weeks ago, the Drake Bulldogs opened their season with a tough match against No. 1 North Dakota State, falling 56-14 and struggling to find much consistency on both offense and defense.
While the team struggled against NDSU, their opening loss came with some bright spots on offense. The team managed the first touchdown of the game along with an impressive opening performance by sophomore running back Dorian Boyland, who garnered over 70 yards on the ground last week.
Heading into their first home game this past Saturday against Missouri S&T, the Bulldogs hoped to expand these offensive highlights against a far less intimidating defense in comparison to NDSU.
