ST. PAUL, MINN. – The season is starting to wind down for the University of St. Thomas football team. The Tommies will play their final regular season game at O'Shaughnessy Stadium on Saturday, November 14 when they host the Drake Bulldogs in Pioneer Football League (PFL) play. Kickoff between the rivals is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. in St. Paul, Minnesota.
GAMEDAY CENTRAL
SENIOR DAY: St. Thomas will honor its seniors during a pregame ceremony on Saturday. This includes nine fifth year seniors who have been with the Tommies since 2022. These seniors have compiled an overall record of 38-18, including a 29-9 mark in PFL play. Additionally, all nine were named to the PFL Honor Roll at least once in their careers.
MILITARY APPRECIATION DAY: St. Thomas will celebrate Military Appreciation Day on Saturday as well. Veterans can purchase tickets for the game on Vet Tix, and the first 1000 fans will receive a FREE St. Thomas football military beanie.
PRIDE AND PASSION SCHOLARSHIP: St. Thomas students have a chance to win a $2500 scholarship during the fourth quarter. Since the scholarship was not claimed during the October 31 game vs. Davidson, it will be worth $5000 on the final Saturday of the year.

LAST TIME OUT:
ST. THOMAS: Things did not go as planned for St. Thomas in Indianapolis. Despite holding a 7-3 lead at the end of the first quarter, the Tommies fell to Butler by a final score of 41-14. The Bulldogs outscored St. Thomas 14-0 in the fourth quarter, halting any hope of a Tommie comeback.
DRAKE: The Bulldogs also experienced disappointment on Saturday, November 7. Drake fell to San Diego 40-17 in Des Moines last weekend, falling to 3-7 overall and 3-4 in PFL play. The Bulldogs surrendered 453 yards of total offense to the Toreros, including 305 rushing yards.
KEY STORYLINES:
HI OLD FRIEND: This is not the first time head coaches Glenn Caruso and Matt Walker have squared off against each other. Walker was the head coach at UW-River Falls from 2011-2025, meaning his Falcons played Caruso's Tommies four times during St. Thomas' DIII era. Caruso won all four of those meetings and holds an all-time record of 4-0 against Walker.
THE BULLDOG BLUES: The Tommies have not beaten Drake and Butler in the same season since 2022. Yes, you read that correctly. Since winning the PFL title in 2022, St. Thomas has not been able to beat both Bulldog foes in the same year. The Tommies lost to both Drake and Butler in 2024 and split with the Bulldogs in both 2023 and 2025.
