The Drake Bulldogs edged out a 6-3 win over the Butler Bulldogs on Saturday in Indianapolis. Drake trailed 3-0 at half. Cross Robinson had the lone score with a four yard touchdown run that capped a 90-yard drive to start the second half.

Butler threatened to take the lead back after driving all the way down to the Drake 1 yard line but defensive lineman Max Johnson forced a fumble that Drake linebacker Declan Carr recovered in the end zone for a touchback.

Colin Howard led the Drake offense with 92 yards on four catches. Drake halted a 3 game losing streak and improved to 2-3 overall and 1-1 in Pioneer Football League play. Drake returns to Drake Stadium next Saturday for a noon contest against Dayton.
