🏈 COUNTIN’ THE DAYS: 7️⃣1️⃣ DAYS

Throughout the summer, we will be counting down the days
to the return of Butler Football this fall. The Bulldogs will
host Georgetown College on August 29 at 1 p.m.

The date: Nov. 4, 1989
The opponent: St. Ambrose

In the 1989 season finale, Butler football legend Steve Ambrose lit up the ground in a 56-28 Bulldogs victory over St. Ambrose to help BU finish 7-2-1 for the season.

Ambrose piled up 27️⃣1️⃣ yards in the game, which marked a then-program record for most yards in a single game. He also set the single-game record for most rushing TDs with six, a mark that still remains to this day.

The record of 27️⃣1️⃣ yards stood for five seasons until Arnold Mickens piled up three games of 280+ yards during the 1994 campaign.

📈 STOCK UP
