From 1973, Drake and Lamar have played four times in their history, most recently in 1980 when Drake beat Lamar 38-7. The series is currently 3-1 in favor of Drake, Lamar’s only win coming in 1974 where they won 18-6.
Lamar has had many struggles throughout its history, but has momentum going into this year after going 6-5 (5-2 in Southland Conference play) under new head coach Peter Rossomando. Meanwhile, Drake dominated in the non-scholarship Pioneer league, going 8-0 in conference play, but lost big to North Dakota and South Dakota State in the regular season, and North Dakota State in the playoffs. Drake also saw defeat last year in a close game that went into overtime against NAIA Northwestern of Iowa.
Both Drake and Lamar are hoping to keep the momentum going after solid years prior, Drake hoping to repeat as conference champions for the first time since 2011-2012, and Lamar is hoping to secure its first conference championship since 1971, and for the first time since the football program was resurrected in 2010.
But in a head-to-head game, who would you all pick to win?
