Shorter linebacker Zach Butts spearheaded SU’s defensive effort in the Hawks’ 18-10 setback at Division I-FCS Kennesaw State.  The junior led all players with 16 total tackles, including 15 solo stops, as Shorter held the FCS’s top scoring offense to zero offensive touchdowns.  The McDonough, Ga. native also recorded one tackle for a loss of six yards and forced one fumble.  Butts’ tackle total was the most in the GSC this season, surpassing his previous total of 15 stops last week.
