THE LAST MEETING

DES MOINES, Iowa – Four turnovers proved to be too much for the Bull-dogs, as the Drake University football team fell to Dayton, 20-10, Oct. 7 at Drake Stadium. “We didn’t execute, make the plays when we needed to make and they did. Then we turned the ball over too much,” said Drake head coach Rick Fox. The Bulldogs managed to take a 3-0 lead near the end of the first-quarter after the drive stalled on Dayton’s eight-yard line. Danny Donley drilled a 25-yard field goal to put Drake on top. The Bulldogs had a chance to extend their lead early in the second-quarter, but Drake came up empty when the Flyers blocked a 21-yard field goal at-tempt. Then with less than two and a half minutes left in the opening half, Dayton’s quarter back Alex Jeske drove the Flyers down deep into Bulldog territory. Drake’s defense held strong and limited the Flyers to a field goal to tie the score, 3-3, heading into the half. The Flyers opened the second-half with a five-play 75-yard touchdown drive to take a 10-3 lead. Later in the third-quarter, Dayton took advantage of Drake’s first turnover as Jeske completed a 29-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Skibinski to put the Flyers up 17-3. Drake committed another turnover early in the fourth-quarter, but the Bulldog defense held strong and forced the Flyers to miss a field goal. Drake’s offense used the momentum from the defense’s stop to put together a nine-play 80-yard scoring drive which was capped off by a one-yard touch-down run by Grant Kraemer, cutting the Bulldog deficit to 17-10. After the Bulldog defense managed to force the Flyers to another three-and-out, Drake’s Terry Wallen fumbled the punt return with Dayton recovering the loose ball on Drake’s 24-yard line. With the Flyers looking to go up two touchdowns, Drake’s defense once again came up with another big red zone stop and held Dayton to another field goal as the Flyers extended their lead to 20-10 with just over five min-utes left to play. Dayton went on to record two interceptions in the final five minutes to seal the 20-10 victory. The Bulldogs rushed for a season-high 210 yards, led by senior Brock Reichardt with 96 yards on 22 carries. Tyler Updegraff ran for 52 yards on 11 touches, while Kraemer registered 62 yards. Kraemer, who led the Pioneer Football League in passing heading into the game, went on to only complete 12-of-40 passes for 188 yards and four interceptions.

MISSOULA, Mont. – The Drake University football team fell to No. 14 Montana, 48-16, Saturday afternoon at Washington-Grizzly Stadium. “We played a great opponent. We need to learn and grow from this to be the kind of team we want to be moving forward in the season,” said Drake head coach Rick Fox.

In front more 23,000 rowdy Montana fans in one of the Football Championship Subdivi-sion’s toughest atmospheres, the Grizzlies made it even more difficult for the Bulldogs to get comfortable offensively as they brought the pressure on nearly every play, which produced seven sacks, 11 tackles for a loss and four Bulldog turnovers. “Montana’s blitz was getting to us all day. We knew that and were prepared for the blitz, but we didn’t pick it up and handle it as well as we needed. They also have a lot of defensive speed and we saw that on the field,” said Fox

Dalton Sneed paced Montana’s offense with a game-high 65 rushing yards, 278 passing yards and a combined three touchdowns. He completed 31-of-47 passes. Jerry Louie-McGee was Sneed’s top target as he caught 14 passes for 133 yards and a touchdown. “I thought our defense played a great game but eventually they just wore out with the athletes that they have and their quarter-back is a great player. He can do so many different things to you and you think a play is done and he makes thing happen,” said Fox.

Despite getting blitzed on nearly every play, Drake’s Grant Kraemer completed 23-of-42 passes for 281 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions that turned into 14 UM points. Kraemers’ top target was Devin Cates, who caught nine passes for 80 yards. Steven Doran hauled in four Kraemer passes for 64 yards. Sean Lynch and Will Warner led Drake’s defense with seven tackles apiece. Drake surrendered just 10 first-half points to the No. 14 Grizzlies and a Danny Donley 45-yard field goal to start the second quarter accounted for the 10-7 halftime score. The Grizzlies scored to open the third quarter, but Drake countered with a well-executed fake punt that turned in a 49-yard touchdown run by Will Warner to make the score 17-10

Montana with 4:46 left in the third quarter. However, turnovers began to mount for the Bulldogs with Montana capitalizing for a pair of touchdowns in the final 44 seconds of the third quarter to take a 31-10 lead. The Bulldogs converted on a 7-play, 63-yard drive to open the fourth quarter capped by a 3-yard strike from Kraemer to Will Purdom to pull within two scores at 31-16. However, that would be the final time the Bulldogs found the endzone as Montana scored three more times to end the game with the 48-16 advantage.

DES MOINES, Iowa - Senior quarterback Grant Kraemer threw for 359 yards and matched a school record he already held claim to with six touchdown passes in the Drake University football team’s dominat-ing 52-12 win over Missouri S&T Saturday, Sept. 15, at Drake Stadium. Kraemer’s afternoon came on 14-of-16 passing as the Bulldogs threw for 452 total yards, just three yards shy of the school record for passing yards in a game. Krae-mer’s six touchdowns tied his previous best against Southwestern last year and Ira Vandever’s six touchdowns against San Diego in 2002. “Offensively, Grant and the receivers were just connecting today,” said Drake head coach Rick Fox. “That’s a mature group. They’ve played a lot of plays together and you saw that pay off today.” Drake’s (1-1) defense held Missouri S&T (2-1) to just 175 total yards and forced a pair of turnovers, including an interception return for a touchdown by Will Warner. Zac Rujawitz and Kieran Severa had eight and seven tackles, respectively. “I was really pleased with our defense and they kept it rolling,” Fox said. “We’re going to need that heading into conference play and it was good to see so many guys step up and make plays.” Kraemer wasted little time in getting the Bull-dogs’ offense into gear as he found Drew Lauer wide open on the near sideline on the game’s fourth play from scrimmage. With no one near him after the short completion, Lauer sprinted 58 yards to the endzone to begin an afternoon that saw him catch three passes for 134 yards. Drake pulled out a nearly identical play on its next possession with Kraemer hitting Mitch McFarlane with nothing but daylight in front of him for a 65-yard touchdown to cap the opening quarter’s scoring. “I’m proud of how we got started and that’s big on a day like this with the heat,” Fox said. “The heat was a big factor in the game. Getting those two scores and getting up early was really significant.” The defense created excellent field position all day and helped set up a 6-yard Kraemer to Devin Cates touchdown to open the sec-

ond half. Missouri S&T answered with a 33-yard gain on 3rd-and-5 that set up a 3-yard Aaron Moya touchdown run to account for the Miners only offensive score of the day. Kraemer and Cates connected again to end the second half on a 5-yard touchdown pass following a 72-yard gain as Lauer’s gritty running broke countless attempted tackles. Drake scored on its first drive of the second half on a 50-yard touchdown pass from Kraemer to Stephen Doran. Doran finished the day with 112 yards on five receptions. After seeing the offense rack up points, the defense got in on the act when Warner intercepted a Miner pass and returned it 26 yards for the touchdown to put an exclama-tion mark on Drake’s dominance on both sides of the ball.

The Drake University football team’s de-fense shut down a dangerous option offense in a dominant 41-9 win at Jacksonville to open Pioneer Football League play Satur-day, Sept. 29.

Drake (2-1, 1-0 PFL) allowed just 218 total yards. A third of Jacksonville’s (1-2, 0-1 PFL) offense came on a single 73-yard run that was one of the defense’s few missteps of the day.

Kieran Severa (Lawrence, Kan.) led the de-fense with eight tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks and a fumble recovery. Severa led a charge of Bulldogs that snuffed out Jacksonville’s option offense and registered a total of 11 tackles for loss. Connor Willis (Glen Ellyn, Ill.) added nine total tackles as well.

That pressure provided the offense with stellar field position all afternoon and the Bulldogs capitalized on that with quarterback Grant Kraemer (Northridge, Calif.) complet-ing 16-of-24 passes for 205 yards with four touchdowns. Three of those touchdown strikes were to Steven Doran (Germantown, Wis.) who finished with five catches for 132 yards in addition to his three touchdowns.

Last season against Jacksonville, Doran had 104 yards receiving and a pair of touch-downs. He now has five 100-yard games in his last six games dating back to last season.

Drake jumped out to an early 14-0 lead in the first quarter on its first eight plays from scrimmage as Drake converted on great field position early.

After running the ball on four of its first five plays, Kramer dropped back and found Doran between the hash marks. Doran shed a pair of defenders to complete the 25-yard touchdown strike and give the Bulldogs an early lead.

Kraemer and Doran connected for a third time to end the first half with a play action pass from the 1-yard line that Doran el-evated above a defender to haul in and give the Bulldogs a 31-0 halftime lead.

Jacksonville got on the board in the third quarter by blocking a Drake punt in the end-zone for a safety with just under six minutes left in the third quarter. However, Drake ended the quarter with a leaping interception

by Jeran Proctor (Johnston, Iowa). Moments later, Kraemer found Mitch McFarlane (Fond du Lac, Wis.) in the endzone for an 11-yard touchdown to go up 38-2.

Jacksonville had its lone offensive bright spot on the ensuing drive when the danger-ous running quarterback Calvin Turner, Jr. got loose for a 73-yard touchdown scamper to account for the Dolphins lone offensive score of the day.

Drake closed the game with a 31-yard Don-ley field goal as the offense shifted gears to burn time late in the fourth quarter and account for the final 41-9 score. Donley was also perfect on all five of his PAT attempts.

The Drake University football team’s de-fense had another dominant performance to lead Drake to a 36-6 win over Butler at Drake Stadium Saturday, Oct. 6, to remain on top of the Pioneer Football League stand-ings at 2-0 in league play.

Drake (3-1, 2-0 PFL) allowed only 253 total yards of offense and just 176 through the first three quarters. Butler (3-2, 1-1 PFL) gained only 119 yards on the ground and 134 yards in the air while running 33 more plays than Drake.

Kieran Severa (Lawrence, Kan.) led the way for the Drake with 10 tackles, six solo and four unassisted. Nathan Clayberg (Pella, Iowa) also contributed with five total tackles and a solo sack. Jabari Butler (Chicago, Ill.) and Will Warner (Pella, Iowa) each contrib-uted an interception as well.

“Our defense is playing so well it gives our offense time to adjust.” said Drake head coach Rick Fox.

Quarterback Grant Kraemer (Northridge, Calif.) completed 17-of-26 passes for 245 yards with three passing touchdowns. Two touchdown passes went to Steven Doran (Germantown, Wis.) and the other went to Zach DeLeon (Leawood, Kan.).

“It always starts up front, giving Grant the time to do the things he does,” Fox said. “Our receivers are just big physical guys and that gives them the chance to catch 50-50 balls and make plays.”

Braeden Hartwig (Lincoln, Neb.) also con-tributed two rushing touchdowns for Drake.

The defense set the tone for the game forc-ing an early punt following a huge sack from Erin Morgan (Aurora, Ill.). Following a Drake punt, Nathan Clayberg (Pella, Iowa) sealed the three-and-out with another sack on third down, but Drake’s offense could not convert on those early opportunities.

It was not until Drake’s Butler intercepted a pass and gave the offense the ball at But-ler’s 46-yard line that Drake was able to find the endzone first with 2:44 left in the open-ing quarter on a 42-yard pass from Kraemer to DeLeon.

Drake kept its momentum rolling into the second quarter with an interception from Will Warner, who returned the ball to the

ball to the 1-yard line. Hartwing was able to punch it in for a 1-yard touchdown to put the Bulldogs up 14-0.

With 6:47 left in the third, Hartwig took in his second touchdown of the day giving Drake a 21-0 lead. Following the kickoff, Butler was forced to punt on fourth down, but it was blocked by Will Kulick and recovered by Drake on Butler’s 26-yard line.

The fourth quarter began with another connection between Kraemer and Doran to make the score 34-0. The Butler offense found a brief weakness in the Drake defense with quarterback Will Marty finding Stephen Dennis in the endzone for a 21-yard touch-down.

Drake blocked the extra point and Zac Ru-jawitz (Edwardsville, Ill.) ran it back 98 yards for two points for the final score of 36-6.

The winning play came on a Stetson fumble as time expired that Stetson’s Steven Burdette recovered on the Drake 8-yard line and carried into the endzone after the Drake defense thought it had made a game-win-ning stop to defeat the Hatters. Just 45 seconds before that play, Drake scored to take a 21-17 lead on a 76-yard touchdown pass from Grant Kraemer to Devin Cates. Following the touchdown, Drake was penal-ized for its exuberant celebration and a 21-yard return on the kickoff gave the Hatters the ball on their 35-yard line with 39 seconds remaining. Three plays and three comple-tions by quarterback Colin McGovern later, the Hatters were on the Drake 15-yard line with nine seconds remaining in the contest. Stetson (4-1, 2-1 PFL) took a timeout to stop the clock and on the next play McGovern connected with Jack Bowen at the 8-yard line. As Bowen was fighting toward the goal line while being dragged down by the de-fense, he lost the ball as he went to the turf. Burdette scooped up the ball and carried it into the endzone for the winning score as time expired. The heart-breaking final minute capped a very up-and-down afternoon for Drake (3-2, 2-1 Pioneer Football League) despite 435 total yards of offense. However, 358 of those yards came in the second half as the offense struggled to get in gear early due to Stetson’s defensive pressure before trying to pick up the tempo in the second half. Kraemer threw for 277 yards and two touch-downs in the loss while Mitch McFarlane had eight catches for 87 yards and a touchdown. Cross Robinson and Drew Lauer each ran for nearly 70 yards in the loss. McGovern completed 29-of-44 passes for 271 and three touchdowns to lead the Hat-ters. Drake’s defense was led by Kieran Severa and Sean Lynch with nine tackles each. Connor Willis had eight tackles, seven of them solo, and added three tackles for loss.

Stetson had a 7-3 lead at halftime as the teams combined for just 225 yards of total offense. Drake scored via a 32-yard Danny Donley field goal with 4:40 left in the open-ing quarter while Stetson countered with 4:47 left in the half on a 12-yard strike from McGovern to Donald Parham that capped an 18-play, 81-yard drive. Parham finished the day with 112 yards receiving on 12 catches. After a slow first half, the third quarter saw four scores with a touchdown and field goal from each team. The Bulldogs’ touchdown came midway through the quarter when Kraemer connected with McFarlane for an 18-yard score. A successful two-point con-version tied the contest at 14-14. A 31-yard field goal by Stetson put the Hat-ters up, 17-14, and the score remained that until the wild final minute of the contest gave the Hatters their first-ever win against Drake.
