The Butler University football team began the 2018 season with a 23-21 win over No. 24 Youngstown State University on Sept. 1.

Butler started the game strong, with a forced three-and-out on defense followed by a 1-yard touchdown run on a quarterback keeper by redshirt senior quarterback Will Marty. A 31-yard catch and a 28-yard catch by senior receiver Pace Temple in the span of three plays put the Bulldogs in position for the score.
