⏱️ COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF: 2️⃣2️⃣ DAYS

Seven years ago, Pace Temple wrapped up a historic career on the gridiron for the Bulldogs.

One of his many records that he holds is a career TD total of 2️⃣2️⃣, which equalled the mark original set by Dan Bohrer in 2009.

Temple also holds the record for most career receiving yards with 3,364 and is the only Butler wideout to post back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons.
