Army was a high-water mark for UB football. The excitement of college football hit a crescendo. The greater Buffalo and military fraternity came to Amherst in droves. For Akron, the football excitement did not completely die. Students stayed away but the diehard UB football fans returned plus many who love football. The Bulls side was three levels deep. In the grand scheme of the season, Army was a throw away game. Means very little in MAC play and having Buffalo become Bowl Eligible. A dominating win against Army could have temporarily vaulted UB to “Row the Boat” hype. A home win versus Akron is not crucial for the season but can mean so much macro wise.
The Bulls defeat Akron and sit at 6 - 1.
