DAYTON, Ohio(AP) — Reagan Andrew threw two touchdown passes and Butler snapped Dayton's five-game winning streak, defeating the Flyers 23-17 on Saturday.

Donovan Weatherly caught a 4-yard touchdown pass from Drew VanVleet to get the Flyers within 17-14 in the third quarter, but Dayton didn't cross midfield again until late in the fourth. Trevor Henkle capped that drive with a 34-yard field goal, but Butler recovered the ensuing onside kick.
