INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (AP) – Matt Shiltz had 287 total yards and two touchdowns, Jon Treloar kicked two field goals and Butler rallied to beat Drake 20-13 on Saturday. Trailing 10-3 at halftime, Shiltz tied it at 10 in the third quarter with a 1-yard TD pass to Zack Wolfe.

Drake pulled ahead 13-10 after Josh Lee’s second 30-yard field goal, but Butler took the lead for good in the fourth after Shiltz hit Marquese Martin-Hayes on a 14-yard scoring pass. Shiltz ran 21 times for 60 yards for Butler (6-4, 4-3 Pioneer) and was 19-of-28 passing for 227 yards.

Drake’s Cody Thibault threw an 18-yard TD pass to Michael Hudson in the second quarter, a score that was set up by John Huginin’s recovery of a fumble by Shiltz. Thibault was 16 of 27 for 175 yards passing with an interception for the Bulldogs (4-6, 3-4).
