DES MOINES, Iowa – The Drake University football team continued its dynastic run of success with a 17-7 victory over Morehead State on Saturday afternoon. The win secured Drake's third consecutive Pioneer Football League championship and gave the Bulldogs the conference's automatic bid into the upcoming FCS Playoffs.
Drake's defense took the field first and found itself in a tricky situation after forcing an Eagle punt on their first possession. Logan Inagawa and Nick Herman botched a handoff on the Bulldogs' initial play from scrimmage, setting Morehead State up inside the 10-yard line.
