YSU faces Butler today

In December of 2005, Butler hired Jeff Voris to take over an 0-11 football team. Four years later, he led the Bulldogs to an 11-1 season — the best record in school history.

“Coach Voris has done a very good job,” said YSU football coach Eric Wolford, whose team will play Butler in today’s home opener. “They know how to win.”

The Bulldogs, however, are a non-scholarship FCS program, so they’ll enter today’s matchup as huge underdogs. Butler is 0-4 against Division I scholarships programs since 1993, including a 42-0 loss to Florida International in 2002 — its last meeting with a full-scholarship program.
