The Drake Bulldogs expect to face as motivated opponent this week when they visit the University of South Dakota. The Coyotes are 1-1 after a 66-7 pasting at the hands of UNI.

Drake coach Chris Creighton says South Dakota has had two lopsided games and will probably come out and play the best game of the year. The Bulldogs are 2-0 after a 34-6 win at Marist and Creighton says South Dakota causes a number of concerns. He says they want to run the football and can stretch you vertically with the passing game.

Creighton says this may be the first of several games between the two schools as they are talking about making it a series. He says the schedule won’t allow it next year, but they are looking at doing a home and home when their schedules permit.
