PFL Notes
- PFL teams went an impressive 7-3 during Week 2. Butler downed Missouri Valley Football Conference member Murray State on a late field goal. Drake’s trip out west proved fruitful, as it walked off Eastern Washington in overtime.
- Butler’s victory in Murray, Kentucky, was the first PFL vs. MVFC victory since Dayton defeated Indiana State during the 2019 season.
- Drake became the second team this season to win against the Big Sky Conference after San Diego defeated Cal Poly in Week 1.
- Jason Woodman, one of the PFL’s first-year head coaches, improved to 2-0 this season with a home victory against Kentucky Christian.
- Dayton, Marist, Morehead State, and Stetson face FCS opposition in Week 3 and are on the road. Morehead State faces the toughest test when it meets a Top 10-ranked Montana squad. Marist looks to get into the win column at Patriot League foe Lafayette. Stetson travels to Southern Conference opponent Furman, while Dayton heads west to meet Indiana State.
- The PFL is 4-6 against FCS opponents in the season’s first two weeks. The four PFL wins against nonconference FCS foes are the league’s most since the 2019 season, when the league scored five such wins. The PFL has 11 nonconference FCS games remaining.
- The PFL’s coaches picked Drake to win the 2024 PFL title after winning the 2023 title, their seventh PFL championship and first since 2012. The Bulldogs received eight of the 11 first-place votes from the league’s coaches. St. Thomas was second in the preseason poll, followed by Butler and San Diego.
- Drake defensive end Finn Claypool, the reigning PFL Defensive Player of the Year, was named to the Buck Buchanan Award Preseason Watch List presented by Stats Perform. He also was named to the Stats PerformPerform’sson All-America Team.
