With the departure of Kyle VanTrease things have opened up a little bit at quarterback this coming season. Vantrease oversaw the longest sustained winning that Buffalo football has enjoyed since the 1950’s. Though the team never won a MAC championship under him they did add some hardware with two bowl victories, the first two in program history.
The heir apparent would be Matt Myers.
Myers beat out VanTrease for the job in 2019 but was sidelined with injury early on in the year. Last season Buffalo Coach Maurice Linguist used Myers in 10 games, and he got more and more reps behind center as the season went on.
