The Butler University football team won their second game in a row Saturday night, this time on the road at Taylor 27-14. The win puts the Bulldogs at 2-1 on the season and drops Taylor to 1-2.

Butler quarterback Malcolm Weaver continued his string of impressive performances, as he threw for 214 yards on 17 completed passes and ran for another 119 yards and a 70-yard touchdown that put Butler up 14-0 in the second quarter.

Taylor then scored 14 unanswered points of their own to tie the game, but that’s all they were able to muster as Butler’s defense shut down the Trojans the rest of the game.
