The Drake Bulldogs dropped a 7-0 game at Marist on Saturday in Poughkeepsie, NY. The Red Foxes got the only score of the game in the third quarter on a 10 yard pass from Austin Day to Hunter Cobb.

Both teams missed field goal chances and the Bulldogs had one attempt blocked in the third quarter. The defenses dominated much of the game and the Red Foxes had just a slight advantage in total yardage and time of possession.

The Bulldogs were playing for the first time in three weeks following a COVID-19 outbreak and a bye week. The Bulldogs fell to 2-6 overall and 1-4 in the PFL. Next up for Drake is a home game against PFL newcomer St. Thomas for a 12:00 p.m. kickoff next Saturday.
