Drake University’s football team is getting ready for the new season with a brand-new head coach, Matt Walker, who is bringing a frantic and aggressive offense to the team. Walker, who previously coached at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, led his team to a national championship and is known for his ‘top gun’ offense, which emphasizes constant aggression and a fast-paced game.
Walker’s Coaching Style
Walker’s approach to the game is centered around ‘unapologetic aggression all the time,’ which means that the team will be going for it on fourth down unless it’s a really long shot. The players seem to be buying into this new system, with fifth-year wide receiver Mitchell January saying that the new offense puts points on the board and has credibility.
The team will be tested early in the season when they visit top-five FCS team Montana in week two. With Walker’s new offense and a mix of experienced players and new talent, the Bulldogs are looking to make a strong showing in the upcoming season.
