TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Senior Terre Haute native Tsali Lough single-handedly sparked the Sycamores to a 41-25 win over Butler to open the 2016 season at home on Saturday.

The mood inside Memorial Stadium was festive to start, but the Bulldogs (0-1) set a demonstrative tone early with a strong three-and-out and then a long drive to the Indiana State (1-0) one-yard line. And then, the Sycamores awoke.

On second-and-goal from the one, Butler QB Malcolm Weaver appeared to have crossed the plane on a QB sneak, but to the surprise to everyone (including the Bulldogs), Tsali Lough started streaking down the right sideline with the ball under his arm and evaded a tackler near the 20-yard line for a 100-yard touchdown on the fumble recovery.
