Drake blanked us at home in 2022. They have wins over Eastern Washington and San Diego.
24-3 Bulldogs
If Fox starts Appel again Valpo loses by 21, 35-14. If he starts the freshman qb then it will be a lot closer, Drake 28-Valpo 24.
Des Moines Second finest 31, Saders 13
Drake 31-27 in OT Whats the line Valpo +13.5?
Drake 24
Valpo 10
Not good early.
Clearly Drake saw a MAJOR O-line weakness on film and Valpo cannot seem to correct it. Drake has continued to load the box and Valpo can do nothing to stop that extra defender from getting by. This is reminiscent of the Texans v Bears game from 2 weeks ago with how much pressure is getting to the QB. Need to figure out what is wrong and quickly.
As of right now. It seems blocking is optional
Butler is destroying Morehead. Seems that Drake, Butler, Davidson have all jumped Valpo during Fox’ tenure
Haven't been following the football team for that long so I cannot day how good or bad Fox is for this roster, but there seems to be a lot of issues with this offense in particular. The defense has had some miscues in the past 2 weeks, but I think it is fair to chalk it up to being tired from being on the field for most of the game the past 2 weeks. There is a serious issue with this offense.
Sometimes a lack of offense is just bad. Sometimes it is funny.
Total Offense of, lets say, 97 is just bad in a half.
3 yards is funny. It's certainly pathetic but it's also funny.
Haven't been following the football team for that long
Might have been a good day to keep that streak going.
Fox is a great guy and wants to be at Valpo. Very much rooting for him and have defended. I think this offense is the Symmes hire bleeding into year 2. Last fall it was evident Symmes had no idea what he was doing.
should have cut bait in November and given someone a full spring to make things work. The offense being in a complete rebuild in season 6 is disheartening
17-0 at half and Valpo is fortunate it is this close.
Lets not get ahead of ourselves. This Drake team has a lot of veteran talent But the mistakes being made by this offense is pure fundamentals. Missed Blocks. Not keying up on a rusher. Not finishing your block. Failing to block at all for your runner. This is stuff you should have perfected in Pop Warner let alone high school or college. This is just as laughable as it is frustrating. How can a team not key up on the edge rusher this many times in one game.
We beat the NAIA number 4 team and a 6 win D2 team from last season. Drake has wins over San Diego and Eastern Washington. Without the baffled punt this is 3-10 heading into the 4th.
this is far from High School
