BUIES CREEK, N.C. – A complete team performance propelled the Drake University football team to rout Campbell, 45-10, Nov. 11, 2017 at Barker-Lane Stadium in Buies Creek, N.C.
 
"Our guys played great in every phase of the game from beginning to end. It was a whole team win," said Drake head football coach Rick Fox.

Senior Grant Kraemer put together a near perfect game as he completed 17-for-20 attempts for 369 yards passing and three touchdowns. Kraemer's top target was junior Steven Doran, who recorded a career-best and game-high 170 yards receiving on four catches and two touchdowns.
 
"I was proud of the whole offense, because we were able to run the ball and throw the ball to keep them off balance. Grant did a great job making some big plays in the passing game. He led our offense and when he works our offense he is as good of a quarterback you will find," said Fox. "I am so proud of Drew (Lauer), when he got injured last year they said it was a year and a half of recovery time. He came back in less than a year and to come back and have a big day today was huge."
 
Junior Drew Lauer led the Bulldog ground game with 79 yards and a touchdown, while Brock Reichardt and Tyler Updegraff tallied 56 and 51 yards rushing, respectively.
 
The Bulldog defense limited Campbell (6-5, 5-3 PFL), who heading into the game averaged nearly 450 yards per game, to 327 yards of total offense. Sean Lynch and Kieran Severa tallied a team-high 11 tackles. Nathan Clayberg helped set the tone up front as he collected 10 tackles, including 1.5 for a loss and a sack.
 
"Our defense played really well especially against a really tough quarterback. He is tough to contain and we did a great job," said Fox.
 
Campbell's quarterback Daniel Smith, who is the nation's leading rusher entering the game, mustered just 81 yards rushing, while throwing 10-of-22 for 147 yards and an interception.
 
The Bulldogs (6-4, 5-2 PFL) used two big first-half plays to take a 14-0 lead. Cole Neary made a tough catch between two Camel defenders for a 37-yard reception to put the Bulldogs deep in Campbell territory. Two-plays later, Reichardt capped off the 73-yard scoring drive with a two-yard touchdown run, his fourth touchdown run of the season. Two possessions later, Doran beat the defender on a jump ball and then broke a tackle for a 68-yard touchdown catch to put Drake up 14-0.
 
The Camels managed to get on the board near the end of the second-quarter with a 30-yard field goal as Drake took a 14-3 lead into halftime.
 
The Bulldogs continued to make big plays in the second-half as Drew Lauer wheeled off a 54-yard touchdown run and then Kraemer completed a 57-yard touchdown pass to Doran, extending Drake's lead to 28-3 midway through the third-quarter.
 
Kraemer capped off the 21-point Bulldog third-quarter with a 12-yard touchdown pass to Zach DeLeon, giving Drake a 35-3 lead.
 
The Bulldogs were in full control heading in to the fourth-quarter, leading 35-10 and went on to tack on 10 fourth-quarter points for a final score of 45-10.
