ESPN RECAPDrake hands Butler its first loss, posts a 27-17 in a Pioneer Football League showdown
DES MOINES, Iowa -- , Luke Bailey found Taj Hughes with a 38-yard touchdown pass to give Drake the lead in the third quarter and the Bulldogs handed Butler its first loss of the season, 27-17 on Saturday. Drake (4-1) climbed to 3-0 in the Pioneer Football League by stopping Butler on downs twice in Drake territory in the first half and picking off two passes in the second. Drake's lone loss came at South Dakota, 42-3 in Week 3. Reagan Andrew scored from four yards out in the final minute of the first half to give Butler (5-1, 1-1) a 6-0 lead at the break, but Shane Dunning kicked his second field goal, this one from 44-yards out, to tie the game early in the third quarter and Bailey's TD pass to Hughes put Drake in front for good.
