Backup QB Howard leads Butler's rally in 19-17 win over Murray State
MURRAY, Ky. (AP) Ryan Short made a 22-yard field goal with nine seconds remaining and Butler Bulldogs rallied to beat Murray State Racers 19-17 on Saturday night.
The Racers entered the fourth quarter with a 14-10 lead before Bulldogs reserve quarterback Nick Howard led a nine-play, 82-yard drive that ended with Howard crashing in from the 2. The extra-point attempt was blocked and Butler led 16-14 lead with 9:08 remaining.
James London put Murray State ahead with a 51-yard field with 2:41 left. Under Howard, Butler again marched down the field with a 10-play, 70-yard drive to set up Short's game winner for the Bulldogs (2-0).
The big play of the drive occurred when Howard completed a 34-yard pass to William Enneking that put the ball on the Racers 10.
Butler starter Reagan Andrew completed 18 of 25 passes for 193 yards and Howard went 5 for 8 for 90 yards. Howard also rushed for 85 yards on 20 carries and reached the end zone twice. His 1-yard run to end the half finished an 11-play, 91-yard drive.
Running backs Kywon Morgan and Jawaun Northington each scored touchdowns for the Racers (0-2) who have lost nine straight games dating to last season.
