Nick Howard, a graduate transfer from Dartmouth who helped lead the Big Green to a share of the Ivy League title in 2023, got the start and scored the game's first touchdown, punching over from the 1 after Nick Bafka returned an interception 24 yards to the Upper Iowa 8. Howard also threw a 58-yard touchdown strike to Derek Allen Jr. for a score.

Andrew's first play was an interception by Zacarius Murray that gave the Peacocks the ball at the Butler 24. He came right back to threw a 16-yard touchdown pass to William Enneking midway through the seconds quarter and a 70-yard TD to Luke Wooten just before halftime. Upper Iowa's lone touchdown occurred after its defense forced Butler to punt from its own 17 and Darryl Overstreet Jr. cashed in by throwing 23 yards to Eddie Burgess in the second. - AP College Football
