Football run over by Camels’ ground game
The Butler football team’s chances of repeating as Pioneer Football League winners is starting to fade. The rushing attack of the Campbell Camels (2-3, 1-1 PFL) was too much for the Bulldogs (2-3, 0-2 PFL) to handle, leading to a 27-10 loss Saturday at the Butler Bowl. “We didn’t do what we set out to…
