INDIANAPOLIS -- The Butler defense blitzed on fourth-and-long inside the final two minutes and Devin Aguilar picked off a pass to preserve Butler's 24-21 win in a Pioneer League opener with Morehead State on Saturday.
Lawson Page had driven Morehead State (1-3, 0-1) just across midfield but Butler came with a blitz on both third and fourth downs, forcing one incompletion and then the game-saving interception.
Stephen Dennis capped an 11-play game-opening drive, hauling in a touchdown pass from Will Marty as Butler (3-1, 1-0) took a quick 7-0 lead.
