At one point last year Buffalo was 4-4 and looking at a decent outside chance at a winning season in year one under Maurice Linguist. Then they got hammered by Bowling Green and things went south for the rest of the year.
What made the Bowling green loss so galling was that the Falcons anemic offense, last in the MAC in most every important category, lit up the UB defense like a Christmas tree. IT was the only game the squad produced a 100-yard rusher (Terion Stewert 170), and the only game the Falcons managed to score more than 27 points.
