DES MOINES, Iowa – Drake defensive back Tyler Radocha earned PFL recognition after a stellar performance in the Bulldogs' 19-16 overtime win at Presbyterian on Saturday. Radocha's honor marked the second time this season that a Drake special teamer has earned the league's Special Teams Player of Week Award.
 
Radocha blocked a potential game-winning field goal in regulation to help Drake escape with their three-point victory. After Drake tied the game, Presbyterian went the length of the field and needed only to convert the 22-yard field goal attempt to end the Bulldogs' 14-game PFL win streak, but Radocha broke through the middle of the line to stop the kick and helped force overtime. It capped a 10-tackle (eight solo) outing by the defensive back, which included a tackle for loss.
 
Drake's graduate safety earned the Special Teams Player of the Week award alongside Valpo punter Sam Johnson.
 
The entire list of weekly award winners is below.
 
Finn and the rest of the Bulldog football team will be back in action next Saturday, Nov. 2, when Marist visits Drake Stadium for another PFL battle.
