Scouting Drake

[demoncore1031]

Has anyone seen them play this year? Based on stats alone this is what I have gathered...

They have a decent passing game, with one really good WR and a QB that is not half bad. Their run game is abysmal, averaging 2.7 yards per carry, and they have given up 37 sacks. I like that.

On defense, they are really tough on 3rd and 4th downs and in the redzone, but overall their defense is nothing special. Drake has 3 players that are 300 or more lbs.

Any insight from anyone who knows more about them?

I am looking at their roster, and this is amazing.

Jack Conlon, a 7 year old from my hometown (Clarion) that is battling cancer, is not only listed on their roster, but he has his own locker and signed a letter of intent to the team. Lots of respect to Drake! I went to school with Jack's dad and used to school him at basketball. I left Clarion not long after high school and haven't been back and had no idea Tom had a son that was fighting cancer. Best wishes to young Jack and the entire family.

I’m excited to see what our depth RBs will do this game. I believe it will give them valuable experience for the coming season to get reps.

Agreed. I'm hoping we have a huge lead at half and all the 2nd and 3rd stringers play in the 2nd half.

Is there a small fan forum for drake? With legit drake fans if there is such a thing?

 

[CYCLNST8]

They have a one game winning streak against us...

 

[SoapyCy]

Drakenation.com is their message board. It's sparse...

If we wait until the second half to our in second-string guys we have a problem.

There are a couple kids from my hometown that are on the roster, will be cool to see them play.

Mote needs 53 yards to finish regular season with 1000 yards. Over/under how many runs does it take

 

[madguy30]

Their record is good and they've put up some points.

Not sure at all what kind of talent is there.

Where is Hakeem at in the record book? TDs yards etc. He needs to have school records.

I’m not sure Montgomery should even dress.

Needs 15 yards and 2 TD's for the single season records.

A last-minute Drake TD to end the game.

I believe Lane had 1196yds, while Butler is at 1059yds right now. By my math, that's 137 yds.
I can't find a game log for 2002, but it's showing 14 games for Lane vs. 11 for Butler right now. Assuming the bowls games count, I would think he'll get it.

I’d be good with this score. Give our practice squad a chance to get some game reps and not humiliate the Drake football team.

That had to be the extra game/Florida State year, right?
