Drake football defeats Butler 36-6 during family weekend

By JD PELEGRINO

Bulldogs improve to 3-1, 2-0 in PFL due to high performing offense and “stifling” defense

To begin their two-game homestand, the Drake Bulldogs (3-1, 2-0) hosted the Butler Bulldogs (3-2, 1-1) for both homecoming and family weekend. This meeting marks the 26th time Butler and Drake have gone head to head. Coming into Saturday’s game, Drake led the series 18-7. Drake has been red hot this season, carrying the upper hand on most opponents with a powerful passing offense and defense that has looked the best it has in years.

Drake’s defense forced punts on the first two Butler drives, giving up only 34 yards.
