| This is only second hand hearsay but my understanding is that Paul Morrison called it the biggest win in the non-scholarship era. That is why the SID department said the same thing.
Now - For the game analysis from someone who was there (good thing I am writing and not talking this morning)...
Offense - Started slow. Got some yardage but just enough to move the chains once or twice and keep ISU from winning the field position battle. Got more confidence as the game wore on. Great half time adjustments (score one for Loney) that really made the difference. Second half essentially EVERYONE stepped up and made some huge plays (one over the sholder turn the body around catch for a first down was an AMAZING catch. Both offensive touchdowns were great individual efforts by Marx and Ageyi) A minute and 28 and 95 yards from a winning score? No problem. No one was rattled and just made plays.
Defense - Awsome all game long. Two things that need to be fixed is the running back was all over the place and the middle was open for the pass... BUT when they got down near the end zone, the boys stiffened and held their ground. Also got more confidence as the game went on. Jacob Craig laid some WOOD that cause the middle to get closed toward the end of the third quarter and the fourth..Great job Matt Jeter and the whole defense.
Kicking game - WOW. WAS THAT AN IMPROVEMENT OVER LAST YEAR... Two touchbacks is great since the kickoffs are now from the 30 yard line. That was key. The Punter was fantastic and really put ISU in a hole field position wise. This was the biggest improvement I saw from last year.
Adjustments: Now I see what a great coaching staff can do. 0 points in the first half, 27 points in the second half. Enough said.

Oh yeah .. the recv'r for the Bears.
Pat Dunsmore.....his son plays for Northwestern now.....kid's first name is Drake. 
I remember they called Drake's quarterbacks the Polish Air Force.....Yagelski, Gronowski and Ostrowski.
Wish I could have been at the game last night.....it sure sounded good on the radio!
True confession.....I wasn't going to listen to the game....I was afraid it could be ugly.....I turned on the radio at about 7:30 to listen to the Cubs game....the station that carries the Cubs in Des Moines had the Drake game on instead......it was halftime, and since it was close, I decided to listen unless Drake got down big. What an ending....and the Cubs won too

| John Ware, Wederquist, Dennis McKnight, Rafael Soto, etc was a helluva offensive line. McKnight played 10+ years in the NFL.
The black glove guys were impressive...for their era, better than the current O-line. But don't forget the current Bulldogs (notably Pammer) have a hand in setting rushing records four straight years. |

| | Aw hell yeah we were all running around screaming!! We were all on our hands and knees in herriot praying on that last drive! When the radio announcer called out the formation we all in the room knew where the ball was going and Augustine made a big play and we won! Now all we have to do is stay hungry and win the rest of our games BIG, and we SHOULD be in the playoffs or close! |

| I was a freshman on that team in 1979. I was a scholarship player and as you know freshmen didn't play much then.That was the Chuck Shelton era.Man Drake recuited from all over the country. We even had a kicker from Hawaii.
But Dwayne Ball was the number one runningback then. But don't get me wrong Talmage Tanks was on his heels. But did you guys know that he was about 26 when I was there at age 18. He had spent time in the military and played some pro baseball as well.
Yes Frank Busko, Pat Dunsmore, Dennis Mcknight, Felix Wright, were awesome. but you guy must also remember Lance sheilds also played pro ball. I mean Drake put a gang of player into the show, and some that just missed including myself.
But I hate to change the subject matter.But I was surfing the net looking for my old fraternity brothers from Drake. The men of Omega Psi Phi Inc., and came across something that totally stopped me in my tracks. Well searching for my line brother Amero Ware the great. Brentwood Legend Passes!!! This was a total shock to me. The last I knew was that him and his wife Janice was living in Chicago not far from the south suburb where I live.
We stayed in touch with each other and grew even closer.i'm sorry for side tracking, but I guess after 30 years we all have lost friends. Some we knew of their passing and others we didn't.
This is a awesome forum, brings back great memories. So tonight lets call that old college friend and just say; what's up man. Because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us.
I transfered to N.I.U. and in 1983 we won the MAC conference and went on to play Long Beach state in the California Bowl.My father also played for Drake in 1947 with Johnny Brite.Always been a Drake fan and always will. |
