The 2023 FCS playoffs get underway on Saturday and, for the first time ever, the Drake Bulldogs will be a part of them. Drake gave its fans a season to remember this fall, winning eight straight games after losing their first three. They took home their first Pioneer League crown and with it were awarded the conference’s auto bid to the postseason. Last Sunday, like their other 23 playoff counterparts, the Bulldogs watched in excitement as their name came across the screen. It was something that had never happened before and it was a historic milestone for the program.
