LAST TIME OUT | Box Score (PDF)
Davidson jumped out to a 14-0 lead, but a late game turnover gave Butler new life as the Bulldogs converted a field goal as time expired to down the 'Cats at Richardson Stadium last Saturday, 20-17. The Wildcats jumped out to a quick lead, launching a 74-yard touchdown toss to junior Cam Cheuvront on their opening play from scrimmage. Cheuvront hauled in five catches for 115 yards, his third 100-yard day and second of the season. McGuire completed 21-of-34 passes for a career-high 273 yards. Senior linebacker Nate Casey returned to the lineup and recorded six tackles, five of them solo stops.
