Competition has nothing to do about it. They have good players who are well coached. Tucker, Brodie and Penn win their position (IMO) and would make ISU better if they wore cardinal and gold instead of blue and white.Drake plays in the Missouri Valley. It's not what it used to be. Sorry. Drake is a nice story, but their competition level is a joke. Iowa State would destroy them.
They would almost certainly hang with Iowa State. For example, they beat Miss. State (19-10) from the SEC which is going to be a Tournament Team. They didn't have a competitive disadvantage in that game.
