Next Week's Opponent, This Week

Well, we have a little bit of a break because we don't play until a week from Wednesday....let's see how our next opponent did.

Miami won at Buffalo 21-9.  It was a game partly dominated by a 40-MPH wind, which restricted offensive ability (and kicking) one way or the other.

They went up to a 14-0 halftime lead but Buffalo had it 14-9 by the end of the 3rd.  Miami took a short field off a Buffalo punt and complete a 40 yard pass (1/7th of their day's offense) to the 2 and then scored to put the game away.  Buffalo did get an INT after that and was at the Miami 15, but Miami got a sack for the stop.

It was far from a dominating performance.  They had less than 300 yards and only 66 of that on the ground.  Dysert had 2 TDs and 2 INTs, and WR Nick Harwell (FR) scored 2 TDs and 8 catches.  Their defense held Buffalo to 265 yards, and 55 of it on the ground.  They had 5 sacks.

In former opponent land, Tulsa picked up a signature win for their program by winning at Notre Dame.  No matter how bad Notre Dame is, a win for Tulsa in their stadium is historic.  Obviously, Notre Dame had a lot of distractions this week....even so.  Marshall finally won their second game, winning at home against a 5-4 UTEP team.

Troy, now 4-3, lost on the road to Louisiana-Monroe.

Michigan lost to Penn State.  You might have heard.
