Drake takes the outright lead in the Pioneer Football League race into the final month of the season as the Bulldogs get set to visit Butler. Drake is 4-0 while Butler is a game back after toppling Dayton on the road.

That’s coach Joe Woodley. Drake has won the last nine games in the series but the last four have been decided by an average of five points.

Woodley says true freshman quarterback Logan Inagawa will lead the Bulldogs duing the stretch run. Chase Spellman has missed the last two games as he continues to battle an injury.

Butler dual threat quarterback Reagan Andrew is the focus of the Drake defense. Andrew ranks second in the PFL in total offense.
