CONNELLSVILLE — A balanced offense and a defense that gives up yards grudgingly is usually a recipe for success, but it’s easier said than done.

Seeking to snap a two-game skid, Butler’s football team was able to achieve dominance on both sides of the ball Friday at Connellsville.

The Golden Tornado passed for 166 yards and rushed for 151 while holding the Falcons to less than 100 yards of offense until late in the fourth quarter of a 31-0 win at Connellsville Stadium.

The result evened Butler’s record at 3-3 and allowed the team to officially rid itself of the bad taste left from losses to Hollidaysburg and Westinghouse the previous two weeks.
