As the final tackle was made and the clock hit zero, then redshirt-freshman Butler cornerback Devin Aguilar sprinted towards the sideline, looking to find a teammate — any teammate — to celebrate with.

“It was probably one of the best feelings I’ve had playing football, it almost felt like taking down a goliath type of team,” Aguilar said.
