Bulldogs looking for first winning season in 4 years

August 18, 2004 By admin

The Drake football team wants to return to championship contention this season. The Bulldogs last won the Pioneer Football League title in 2000, the ninth-straight winning season under coach Rob Ash. Since then, the Bulldogs have posted three straight non-winning seasons. Experience will be a plus this year as Drake returns 20 starters from last year’s team that finished six-and-six. One of the few losses from last season was standout running back Jonathan Taylor and Ash says they’ve had more scrimmages to help find a replacement. Ash says the defense suffered for a few years in part because so many assistant coaches were hired by bigger programs. There were no changes this year. Two years ago, Drake yielded an average of 39-points per game. Last year that number was reduced to 25 and Ash expects more strides this season. The Bulldogs open the season September 2nd at Southwest Missouri State.
