two touchdowns on only 11 carries. Oates led the Campbell effort
with 69 yards rushing on his 13 carries.
"We
set a standard for play here and we didn't play to that standard
today," head coach Dale Steele explained. "I'm
really disappointed, although Butler is a good football team and a
greatly improved team from last year, we didn't play the way I've
seen us play this year. I do know my coaching staff and I will look
at everything we are doing and challenge ourselves and our players
to get better for next week's game against
Drake.'
Campbell
now heads to Iowa to take on PFL rival Drake (2-3, 0-2 PFL) at 1
p.m. CDT on Oct. 18.
