Drake opens the 2024 season with a home contest on Thursday, Aug. 29, against the Quincy Hawks. Quincy is a member of the Great Lakes Valley Conference in Division II. The Bulldogs then hit the road for two FCS tilts sandwiched around a bye week, venturing to Eastern Washington (Sept. 7) and South Dakota (Sept. 21).
