Buffalo fell to the Minnesota Golden Gophers 17-7, but not all is lost. The Buffalo Bulls showed a lot of maturity and awareness. Perhaps it is time to consider Buffalo as a MAC East contender.
Buffalo’s defense is far better than previous years.
Last night, the Buffalo defense managed to stuff the Minnesota offense to 169 rushing yards. Compare that to last year’s average of 253 yards and you can see some improvement. No less, this is against a Fleck-coached Big Ten school. Statistically it may not sound all that exciting, but the Bulls defense consistently prevented big plays.
