The Basics
Drake University is set to host the first college football game of 2024 in the state of Iowa when the Bulldog gridiron squad welcomes NCAA Division II opponent Quincy to Des Moines. The Bulldogs' Pioneer Football League title defense starts under the lights at Drake Stadium on Aug. 29.
Bulldogs by the Numbers
Picked to finish eighth in last year's preseason poll, the Bulldogs exceeded those expectations in a major way in 2023. They marched through PFL play with an unblemished league record which inspired their first-place finish in the 2024 Pioneer Football League preseason poll.
