Drake and Iowa State
I read that Drake gets Iowa State in football this Saturday. ISU lost a game from their schedule and had been looking to replace it and had a deal worked out with Drake, it fell through and then re-opened again a few weeks ago.
The players at Drake overwhelmingly voted to play. Last time these two played Drake upset Iowa State in 1985. How cool would it be to play a school like ISU in front of thousands of fans and get a big game experience.
I think the Flyers would embrace it, but don't know for sure. Good luck to Drake.
Go Flyers!

That Iowa team was Bowl-bound, too, with Earl Bruce as coach. I think we actually lost by four — 17-13, but I remember our kicker (Hoppy Strecker?) connecting on a 52-yard field goal.

It will probably something the Drake players will remember for a long, long time. I just hope none of them, seniors especially, get hurt after thinking they had survived all those years playing football
I will certainly keep an eye on that game. I am guessing ISU starters will not play that long. Here is an article:

Drake gave ISU all they wanted, only lost by three. Good day for the PFL. This should have been a blowout, but that's why the play the games.

This shows that the PFL isn't the wimpy conference that the FCS makes them out to be. More games like this and maybe a 2nd place PFL team could get an at-large playoff spot.
