Butler football fell 49-7 against the Illinois State Redbirds in their first game of the 2021 season. The Bulldogs are now 0-1 going into their homecoming week.
The first quarter of the game started off strong for the Bulldogs as Brett Bushka led the offense to two first downs, moving the ball into Illinois State territory. The Dawgs drive came to a standstill however, following a failed conversion on 4th down.
