The Buffalo defense was not able to contain the Kaleb Elbely to Skyy More connection well enough to cover up for UB’s sluggish offense in a 24-17 defeat to Western Michigan in the Bulls conference opener.
Through three quarters the defense held firm, including one impressive stand of back-to-back drives where WMU had a starting field position within the UB 30-yard line. But in the fourth quarter, Eleby found Moore for a long pass that gave WMU a 17-10 lead they would not relinquish. The following drive the Bronco’s milked the clock and got into the endzone to put the game practically out of reach.
