Buffalo, Bowling Green’s opponent this week, is back on top of the Mid-American Conference sacks chart after its school-record performance against Akron.
The Bulls have been the MAC’s leading sack team the past two years, but had slipped a bit this season under a new coaching staff and were fifth entering their game at Akron on Saturday.
Buffalo sacked DJ Irons 10 times and Zach Gibson once. The Bulls’ 11 sacks were the most by a Football Bowl Subdivision team since Miami (Ohio) recorded 12 against Akron in 2019. The sacks totaled 52 lost yards.
Kyler Laing had 3½ sacks, the most by a Buffalo player since the program moved to the FBS in 1999.
