Butler football team falls on homecoming

The Butler University football team fell on Oct. 8 at the Butler Bowl to Marist 30-21 for their fourth loss of the season.

The Red Foxes used 10 fourth-quarter points to win the game and spoil homecoming weekend for the Bulldogs despite quarterback Will Marty throwing for a career-high 314 yards.

The defenses proved to be solid on both sides early on, as neither side could get anything going. The early stalemate was highlighted by a blocked field goal by Butler’s redshirt-sophomore Mike Cerone.

Butler was able to strike first near the end of the first quarter with a five-yard touchdown pass to redshirt-junior tight end Cord Collier.
