Defense looked OK, all things considered, but the offense was non-existent tonight against a much-improved MC defense. Defense eventually totally wore out against the big MC front. Special teams were 1st game shaky as well.
I'm guessing that Butler doesn't lose another game in the regular season, but there's a LONG ways to go on offense for Butler to get to the point that they're a legit playoff threat.
I think Butler is probably top 15 in the state right now, but I wouldn't have them in the top 10 until some of the offensive woes get ironed out. Mallard Creek, obviously, has state title written all over them in the early going.
