Defenseless

Fifty-six points and 501 total yards. These are not the final statistics for Baylor against Buffalo this weekend, or even its box score the week before against Wofford - an FCS school. These are Baylor's first-half statistics against the Bulls. This was supposed to be the greatest defense in program history - where was it? The Bulls have allowed 110 points in their first two games of the season, highlighted by the 70-13 embarrassment against Baylor Saturday.

Out of the blue

Into the Bears' den

After traveling to No. 2 Ohio State (1-0) last week to open the season, the trek doesn't get any easier for the Bulls (0-1). Next up is another ranked team, No.

Bulls fall to No. 2 Ohio State

COLUMBUS, OHIO - In the middle of the third quarter, with No. 2 Ohio State (1-0) stalling in its own territory, senior linebacker Khalil Mack sacked quarterback Braxton Miller and forced a fumble. The play would have given the Bulls (0-1) the ball on the Buckeyes' 2-yard line, down by just 10 and threatening to make it a one-possession game. But it was called back because of an illegal-hands-to-the-face penalty on Mack, and Ohio State got a new set of downs and the ball spotted on its 37-yard line.

Position-by-Position Breakdowns: Quarterbacks

Joe Licata The camp competitions are over. The questions and debates are halted. The Bulls have decided on who will start under center and, as expected, it's the man who led Buffalo to victory in three of its final four games. Sophomore Joe Licata will be under center for what should be one of the most prolific offenses in recent memory at UB this football season. Following long winter workouts and spring ball, Licata emerged as the obvious choice for head coach Jeff Quinn for the 2013 season. With Licata at the helm, Buffalo scored at least 27 points in three of its final four games.

Reunion in Columbus

Last week, Anthone Taylor received a harsh message from his former teammate and longtime friend Braxton Miller. "[Miller] thinks it's going to be a field day, but it's not going to be like that," Taylor said.

Return of the Mack

Khalil Mack chose No. 46 for a reason. Before Mel Kiper ranked him No. 25 on his 2014 NFL Draft big board, before Mack was on pace to break two all-time NCAA records, before scouts flooded UB Stadium and fought for a sight of the hulking specimen dubbed "All-American" - before all of that, Khalil Mack chose his jersey number for a reason. No one wears 46, he told himself.

Position-by-Position Breakdowns: Tight ends

Jimmy Gordon Jimmy Gordon was the Bulls' most prolific receiving threat at tight end last season. He caught 17 passes for 262 yards and two touchdowns - one season after the entire tight ends unit combined for only 11 receptions. Gordon has bulked up and gotten more physical in his quest to be one of the most versatile players on the offensive side of the ball. Specifically, he has addressed his route running and worked on timing with sophomore quarterback Joe Licata.

Lee Skinner Lee Skinner is one of those players who seems like he has been around forever - and he's still only a junior. After redshirting his freshman year in 2010, he started every game as a redshirt freshman and finished second on the team with 80 tackles.
