He says mistakes are especially tough against a quality opponent, and they found that out all to well against Western Illinois.Over the years Drake has been outstanding at home and Ash says they need that advantage against Truman. They’re 42-7-1 in the last ten years in Drake Stadium and Ash says they hope to have the same home magic Saturday.Truman State won last year’s game 40-29.
