Following the bye week, the Bulldogs headed to Jacksonville, Florida to face their first conference matchup of the season, the Jacksonville Dolphins. Coming into the game, the Bulldogs were 1-1, with their last win taking place two weeks before against Missouri S&T at home. The Bulldogs were set to earn their first Pioneer Football League win against the Dolphins.
In the win against Missouri S&T, Drake quarterback Grant Kraemer completed 14 of 16 pass attempts for 359 yards and 6 touchdowns. This was the best offensive display by the quarterback all season, and beat his best game of 2017.
