BLUFFTON, Ohio - The Bluffton University football squad hosted Franklin College, the school that has dominated the HCAC during the past decade, on an oppressively hot Saturday, Sept. 23. A quick start by the Grizzlies put Franklin ahead early and the visitors looked back as the Beavers were on the wrong end of a 59-30 final tally, dropping to 1-3 on the season and 1-1 in Heartland Conference play.
