Nick Foles isn't getting enough credit here plain and simple. He is more than a capable QB here and the fact he has a great defense behind him at home.

Wake is 1-5 SU their last 6 games I think this team might be throwing in the towel for the season now. This team really struggles to defense the 3 ball as they allow teams to shoot nearly 40% behind the arc. That is a recipe for disaster especially when playing on the road in the ACC

I have been on the right side of a lot of these two games either for or against. This is a rivalry for these schools that most dont know about. UNI finally rang the bell last game vs Valpo beating them and covering the number. As I have mentioned a lot this season I really like this Drake team, but they have had their fair share of good breaks a long the way. UNI has a great history in this series and they pull the so called upset against the MVC best team
