San Diego absolutely rolled over Drake, beating the Bulldogs 40-17 on November 7, totally ruining their Senior Day celebration at Drake Stadium. That score only scratches the surface of how lopsided this one was.
Toreros Ran Wild All Over Drake Stadium
The Toreros ran wild, stacking up a ridiculous 305 rushing yards. Seriously, think about that number! They didn’t just run the ball, they *owned* the line of scrimmage, finishing with 453 total yards to Drake’s measly 263. It wasn’t even close. San Diego basically played keep-away for the entire game, holding onto the ball for a whopping 38:02 compared to Drake’s 21:58. That kind of time of possession just grinds you down.
Drake’s Offense Just Couldn’t Get Going
On the flip side, Drake’s offense just couldn’t get anything going. Riley Warzynski completed only 14 of 28 passes for a quiet 98 yards. Braylon Wilson didn’t fare much better, going 5 of 15 for 58 yards. When your two quarterbacks combine for so few yards on that many attempts, you know it’s a tough day at the office. Willis Nofsinger was the only real bright spot for the Bulldogs, snagging four catches for 57 yards to lead the team, but even that wasn’t enough to spark any real comeback.
This 40-17 loss drops Drake to a disappointing 3-7 overall and 3-4 in the Pioneer League. San Diego, meanwhile, moves to 5-5 overall and 4-5 in the conference. Drake’s got one last shot to salvage something this regular season, heading to St. Thomas (Minnesota) on November 14. They’ll need to find something, anything, to hang onto for that final game.
