Buffalo Preview

 OK, back at it.

UB comes to town.  They are 4-4 and 3-1 this year.  

They scored a TD in the last minute to beat Kent by 3, beat EMU in OT, scored a TD with :19 left to beat UMass by 7 and lost by 8 to Akron.

So on one hand, they are 3-1.  Or, they are a sliver away from being 0-4 with a schedule that was Kent, EMU, UMass and Akron.

At home and with the QB uncertainty, BG is a 1.5 point favorite. If we can play with some consistency and get back to avoiding penalties and turnovers, this is a team we can beat. BG is last in the MAC in penalties--yes, we have sunk below UT.

A few notes.  I think we've worn out the batteries on the big crowds. That won't help.

QB is a serious issue.  We don't know who will start, but none of them have been very good.  BG needs to run the ball efficiently in high volumes to have a shot.

We need special teams to come back.

BG has won 2-3 against UB, after losing four straight.

This is a chance to see who we are.  Did we feel the sting last week?

It is officially quit alert. But its not like this is the first time a BG team has quit on a new coach. Clawson's year 2 team quit late in the season. Babers' first team quit late. Jinks teams quit at times each year. Loeffler’s first two teams quit. George and staff will need to put an end to that but this year is probably effectively over.
