The Drake football team entered Saturday’s game against Marist with a record of 5-3. With Marist in position to take home the conference title, and Drake competing for second place in the Pioneer Football League, the game was a defensive showdown. With a stadium full of incoming recruits, Drake was up against a challenge on their last home game of the season. A challenge not like many they’ve faced all year.
“Marist plays a different defense then we’ve seen all year. They had a good game plan and played very solid the whole game,” said fifth-year quarterback Grant Kraemer.
