SEASON 4: Preseason contests

Week 1:
QB Dakota Corriveau likes his new toy. The sophomore sensation QB completed 13 of 17 and a pair of TDs to rookie WR Louis Forbes (who had 101 yards on the day), for a 132.2 QB Rating. 17-10 win.

Week 3:
Coach O'Dea gave all 3 Des Moines QBs a healthy chance to play today. None did great. Corriveau did the best. Rookie Louis Forbes continued to look good. The rest of the team did not. 41-26 loss.

Week 4:
It appears the defense was upset about giving up 41 points in the last game. 7 players combined for 12 sacks, and 8 passes were defensed in a game that saw QB2 Will Lang have the better day. 23-9 victory. But a half dozen injuries will mean the Dragons will not be full strength when the season starts.

Week 5:
In the battle between last year's NFL cellar dwellers, Oakland and Des Moines, Nathaniel Witt got the nod and the relatively quick hook. Corriveau, however, came in to replace him and led the team with a 116.5 QB rating and a pair of TDs for the win. No question: Witt's time in Des Moines is done. This is Corriveau's team now. The injury bug, however, only got worse in this 21-14 victory.
