HOW IT HAPPENED

• Neither side was able to generate much offense in the rainy conditions in the first quarter. San Diego was barely able to cross the 50-yard line in the first quarter while Butler drove the ball down to the edge of the redzone before being halted on a fourth and short. 
• The second quarter was more of the same from both sides as the weather conditions made it difficult to move the ball. BU was able to string together a 14-play drive, getting the ball down to the San Diego 24-yard line, before a fumble gave the Toreros the ball back. The Torero offense was able to rip off a 43-yard rush, giving them the ball at the Butler 21-yard line with two minutes left in the half. The Butler defense stood tall, forcing the Toreros to kick a field goal with under 40 seconds left in the half. San Diego took the 3-0 lead into the break. 
• San Diego opened the second half with a nine-play, 54-yard drive that ended with a missed field goal as the Butler defense once again came up with a huge stop. After a Butler drive that ended with a failed fourth down conversion, San Diego was able to drive down the field and add another three points to the board with a 32-yard field goal. BU responded with a 10-play, 64-yard drive that ended with Andrew finding Preston in the back of the endzone, giving BU its first lead of the day at 7-6. 
• Early in the fourth quarter, a muffed punt from BU led to a San Diego safety as the Toreros retook the lead at 8-7. After the safety, San Diego strung together a five-play, 58-yard drive that ended with a Colombo rushing touchdown as the Toreros lead grew to eight. After a San Diego interception, the Toreros struck again with a 43-yard touchdown from Josh Heverly. San Diego added another touchdown with under a minute left as the Toreros secured the 29-7 victory.
