‘Havoc-inducing’ is probably the best description of the 2022 Buffalo Bulls secondary. The Bulls showcased two safeties who forced three fumbles apiece and another safety who ranked first in the entire FBS in interceptions. Only six teams accumulated more takeaways than Buffalo’s 28 last season, and the Bulls struck in balanced fashion — recovering 15 fumbles and intercepting 13 passes.
As an aerial defense, Buffalo was middle of the road with a per game allotment of 227.5 yards, good for 72nd in the FBS. But the litany of turnovers caused by the unit instantly made them a force in the MAC.
