This weeks MAC Championship game is something of a redemption game, for both teams.
For Ball State there is the chance to revenge the programs 2008 loss to Buffalo. Ball Sate was undefeated, ranked #12 in the nation, and looking to paste an upstart Buffalo team that had never won anything in the MAC.
The Bulls destroyed Ball State.
For Buffalo the pain is more recent, the 2018 championship game against Northern Illinois. A game that Buffalo had well in hand until the team fell apart late, losing the title to NIU. Many of the players on UB’s roster were a part of that game, including Jaret Patterson.
