International Centre for Special Teams Research--Bull Edition

A final look at the Buffalo win.  It was a poor though not disastrous day for the BG special teams.  BG had a number of solid plays--including two good kickoff coverages and two good kickoff returns, a touchback and a punt inside the 20.  However, that was balanced out by a few negative plays, highlighted by losing a fumble on a kickoff returns and having a FG blocked.  BG also gave up three deep returns and missed a 2XP.

Buffalo's numbers are correspondingly good.   Their +6 is the best for an opponent since the Motor City Bowl.
