The Drake Bulldogs control their own fate in the Pioneer Football League race and have a crucial test at Valparaiso on Saturday. With a victory the Bulldogs would play Dayton for the North Division title. A Valpo win and the North Division race comes to an end. He says they need three wins and at least one loss for every other remaining team and they take the championship. That’s Drake coach Rob Ash who says the Crusaders have been the surprise of the P-F-L as they only one three games two years ago and one game last year. This has developed into a good rivalry and Ash says virtually every game in this series has been played in foul weather. Drake is coming off a win over Butler.
