The Butler football team fell to the Drake Bulldogs 6-3 in their PFL home opener on a rainy Saturday afternoon and tumble under .500 with a 2-3 record.
The game started off slow for both teams after a scoreless first quarter.
Early in the second, Drake drove the ball deep into Butler territory, but Butler’s defense held on as defensive lineman Jordan Casselberry made a huge stop on fourth and short to give the ball back to Butler.
