DES MOINES, Iowa -- Thee Drake University football team completed its first week of spring practice on Tuesday at Drake Stadium.
The Bulldogs practiced for two hours under sunny skies with temperature in the low 60s. The team wore helmets, shoulder pads and shorts for the workout and were able to crack the pads for the first time this spring.
After two practices in just helmets, the men in the trenches were able to get physical for the first time this season. The defensive line was ranked second in sacks in 2015 after leading the Pioneer Football League in 2014 and are focused this spring on using this time to help get the Bulldogs back on of the sacks category.
