For the second time in as many weeks, the Buffalo Bulls came out flat, uninspired, predictable, and sloppy. Also, for the second time in as many weeks, the opposition made the Bulls pay by racking up a 21-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.
Last week the Bulls mounted a furious comeback which got them the lead, but they were unable to hold it and fell to Kent State. In that loss, UB missed a pair of late field goals which let Kent pull away.
This week, thanks to an offsides penalty, UB’s second of two field goal tries sailed through the uprights as time expired lifted the Bulls to a 27-26 win.
