With a surprising 41-20 win over Akron, Lance Leipold and staff now have a chance to salvage a season that meets expectations. They showed last week that they have a team that could’ve arguably been bowl eligible this season. But the times have changed. Buffalo sits at 2-6 overall and the odds are against them to win out—the Bulls still have to face #23 Western Michigan before season’s end.
Firstly, Buffalo still needs to survive their upcoming bout with the Ohio Bobcats. For the second straight year, Frank Solich is taking his team to a bowl as they currently sit with a 6-3 record (4-1 in the MAC).
