Drake
OK...after an away game and an off week, I'm ready for football again. Hope the off week doesn't hurt because CU was playing its best of the year in the previous two weeks. Thoughts?

Drake gave JU a close game last week, losing 39-34, and comes to the Creek for the first time. DU has HAD CU'S NUMBER in both previous meetings and has outscored us 94-6 in those games (vs 86-14 by JU and 77-17 by Dayton). Last year's game at Drake was a big disappointment after the Camels played well vs Butler and defeated Morehead.

Hopefully CU can continue its play of late and capitalize on any advantages from the off week. Drake will be tough, but I don't think we'll see another ugly final score with them as in the past.

Predictions??

RE: Drake
I am thinking we can keep this game closer in the Creek. I still think we will lose but it will be 24-21. I agree that we were playing our best football before the break.

RE: Drake
After hearing VT called "Virginia", FGCU called "Florida", and Georgia State called "Georgia", I fully expect our PA announcer to call Drake "Duke" at least once.

LOL. That's happened to me a time or two. However, I can't imagine anyone from North Carolina making that mistake.

Good game today. The Drake broadcast crew was impressed with their first visit to your campus.

I had no idea we had a message board. Too cool.

3 home losses by six points total. Hopefully we will learn how to win close games. 3 missed kicks loom large. Thought we ran hard, wish we could gain some consistency throwing and pass defending.

The "Florida/Georgia/Duke" announcer is the basketball guy. He filled in at the GSU football game. The announcer today is the regular football guy.

RE: Drake
I thought our effort was great today. We are an improving football team. We just need to get one of these close ones and do so before the team begins to lose confidence.

Thanks 97...I mistakenly gave everyone who picked Drake a loss instead of a win. Will fix it!

Congrats on moving into 1st!! It's gonna be a wild race to the end!!

RE: Drake
You have to rush the quarterback and not give the receivers 10 plus yards off the ball. The only thing our defensive formation prevents is a win.

Defensive coaching staff does not have a clue. Clock management at end of half was horrible by head coach.

Attendance at the game was poor on Saturday. When you continue to lose games you should win fans seem to vote with their bottoms. Lots of empty seats.
