Andrew's Third Rushing Touchdown Gives Bulldogs Overtime Win at St. Thomas


Three Reagan Andrew rushing touchdowns, including the game-winner in overtime, gave the Bulldogs a 21-14 road win at St. Thomas Saturday afternoon.
 
In the overtime session, Butler got the ball first and Andrew scored from one-yard out to give Butler the 21-14 advantage, one play after St. Thomas was called off-side following a fumble recovery they ran back for a score that would have ended the game. Butler's defense then overcame an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and flag for a face mask to turn the Tommies away on four straight snaps beginning First-And-Goal from the 3.
 
With the win, the Bulldogs improve to 4-2 overall and 2-0 in Pioneer Football League play. St. Thomas is 2-3 (0-2 PFL).
 
LINES OF SCRIMMAGE:
  • In addition to his 68 yards rushing, Andrew completed 16 of his 21 attempts for 141 yards.
  • Butler converted seven of 11 third-down conversions Saturday.
  • The Bulldogs had the ball for 32:34 of the contest after entering the game averaging 33:26 of possession per game so far this season, which ranked seventh in FCS entering the weekend.
  • Steven Stephany, who had two interceptions in last season's home win over St. Thomas, also had a pick Saturday.
  • Will Mason also had an interception for the Bulldogs. He had a team-best 10 tackles.
  • St. Thomas quarterback Andy Peters passed for 193 yards. He had one touchdown through the air and one on the ground.
 
UP NEXT: The Bulldogs return to the Sellick Bowl to host Presbyterian Saturday, Oct. 11; that contest is part of Family Weekend on the Butler campus. Presbyterian, which has a bye this weekend, is 5-0 and currently ranked in both FCS national polls (at No. 23 and No. 24, respectively).
