Butler football wins a nail-biter in their first home game of the season beating Taylor University 27-21. The Bulldogs were led by redshirt junior quarterback Will Marty who had 239 yards passing, one passing touchdown, and a rushing touchdown.
No touchdown was bigger than Will Marty’s 1-yard run to put the Bulldogs up by six points with only seven seconds left on the clock. The Bulldogs had been shutout in the second half up until that point when Marty led the Bulldogs 57 yards in under 3:30 to win the game.
