Sports Editor It was a tale of two halves for the University of Dayton football team in a 33-30 loss at the hands of Butler University Saturday, Nov. 2, at Welcome Stadium. The Bulldogs outscored the Fly- ers, who went into the half with a 27-13 lead, by 17 points and out- gained UD in total yards 203-86 in the second half. Both teams entered the game with 4-1 conference records and in a four-way tie for first in the PFL. With conference championship implications on the line, Dayton’s title hopes took a large blow in the second half thanks to an ineffec- tive offense marred by injures to two of UD’s key offensive weapons. An injury during UD’s first of- fensive series of the game to red- shirt sophomore running back Connor Kacsor plagued the Flyer’s rushing attack and allowed But- ler’s defense to limit UD to a field goal in the second half.
