The Drake–San Diego football rivalry is an American college football rivalry between the Drake Bulldogs and San Diego Toreros. The teams have meet annually since 1993.[2]
Summary[edit]
San Diego leads the all-time series 19–10–0. Drake (6) and San Diego (11) have combine for 17 league titles since 1993. Drake is San Diego's closest geographic opponent in the Pioneer Football League and San Diego is one of four teams Drake has played annually since 1993.
In the early days of the series each team would try to accommodate the others scheduling request. Drake requested to play in San Diego when Iowa weather was getting colder and San Deigo wanted to play early fall games in Iowa. The 1993 and 1995 games[3] were played on a date specifically requested by the Bulldogs and the 1994 and 1996 games[4] were played on a date the Toreros requested even though both schools played in the same conference.
As the competition on the field became more fierce, the tone off the field also changed. The scheduling accommodations ended and gamesmanship started to occur prior to contests. On October 25, 1997, the Toreros defeated the Bulldogs for the first time 39–30.[5] Drake would win the next two contests before San Diego went on a four game winning streak.
The intensity of the game reached an all time high when San Diego hired Jim Harbaugh prior to the 2004 season. This would create three seasons of a Rob Ash versus Harbaugh match-up. Ash was the legendary football coach at Drake who help found the Pioneer Football League. Harbaugh was the fiery, up and coming, former NFL star coach. Both were known as the head coaching faces of the league at the time. Ash would win their first game 41-38[6], but Harbaugh would win the next two 31–26[7] and 37–0.[8] San Diego was ranked 21st in the FCS polls prior to the October 21, 2006 game which also featured the nations top two "mid-major" teams.[9] Ash departed to coach Montana State[10] and Harbaugh signed to coach Stanford[11] after the 2006 season. The rivalry still seemed to be on Harbaugh's mind in 2018, however, when he repeatedly referred to Chris Ash as "Rob" following his Michigan team's 42–7 victory over Rutgers.[12] Chris Ash the coach of Rutgers at the time had played and was an assistant coached at Drake (but not during the Harbaugh era at San Diego) and has no relation to Rob Ash.[13]
The team's split the next six games and would share the 2011 and 2012 Pioneer Football League championships.[14] In a preview of the October 15, 2011 game Drake wide receiver Joey Orlando concluded "everyone wants to win the PFL, but with Drake and San Diego, it’s more than the PFL. It’s more of a rivalry."[15] Following the Toreros win head coach Ron Caragher stated "we knew it was going to be a tough, physical football game, and I am just really proud of our team."[16] Drake coach Chris Creighton indicated "San Diego is really good and our guys want to compete against the team that's picked to win the league" prior to the Bulldogs victory in the rivalry's twentieth meeting on October 6, 2012.[17]
San Diego is currently on a nine game winning streak in the series. The first two and last two games of the streak were decided by thirteen points or less with the middle five being larger Torero victories. The game on November 3, 2018[18] was one of the most weather impacted contests with pouring rain and sleet in Des Moines; and the 2020 match-up scheduled for October 31 was postponed to March 13 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[19] The Toreros have been dominate outside of the series during the streak capturing seven Pioneer Football League titles from 2013 to 2019.
