The Bulls (3-3-1) lost to Bryant 1-0 on Sunday in Smithfield, Rhode Island. Buffalo was held scoreless for its third consecutive game and hasn’t picked up a victory in four straight games. After going 3-0 to start the season, the Bulls have gone 0-1-3 in their last four games.
The Spectrum sports team grades the football team's performance against Penn State.
The Bulls defeated Binghamton (1-3-1) 3-0 at a rainy UB Stadium Friday. Buffalo put the Bearcats away with two goals in the second half after already holding a one-goal lead at halftime.
The Buffalo football team lost by 13 points to Penn State, which seems to define college football culture. But Saturday's loss for Buffalo was more impressive than the Nittany Lions' victory.
The Bulls (1-1) couldn’t hold down Penn State (1-1) as the Nittany Lions notched their first victory of the year, a 27-14 win on Saturday at a rainy Beaver Stadium in State College, Pennsylvania.
The football team (1-1) fell 27-14 to Penn State (1-1) in State College, Pennsylvania Saturday afternoon.
Sokoli, a former UB defensive lineman, had just completed the final stages of his first NFL preseason and was anxiously awaiting a phone call from his agent to find out news he had been hoping to hear for more than four months.
It’s easy to predict an upset loss against Penn State on Saturday. Buffalo’s offense was clicking on all cylinders. The defense stepped up in a big way. That questionable offensive line proved many skeptics wrong.
The Buffalo football team (1-0) is set to enter Beaver Stadium to face its toughest opponent of the season in Penn State (0-1). The Spectrum breaks down which team has the edge at each position:
On Saturday, the Bulls (1-0) will travel down to State College, Pennsylvania to face Penn State (0-1). Buffalo is looking for the program’s first 2-0 start since joining Division I football.
Even with the new-and-improved game day atmosphere, the uncontrollable heat – which reached more than 95 degrees – was the downfall of student attendance during the second half of Saturday's game.
The Bulls (3-2) defeated the Orange (2-4) 1-0 in double overtime the first time in program history on Sunday afternoon at UB Stadium.
After the football team’s performance against Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) team Albany Saturday, it’s tough not to give every level of the roster an ‘A’ for their performances. Here are the grades.
Senior tight end Mason Schreck, who totaled 106 yards all of last season, was Buffalo’s leading receiver with five catches for 62 yards.
After the Great Dane’s touchdown, the Bulls (1-0) went on to score on six of their next seven drives, rolling to the tune of 38 unanswered points and a 51-14 victory over the Great Danes at UB Stadium on Saturday.
The crowd noise and stadium music went silent. The once active football players, who had been colliding into each other moments before were now still – some standing around with their hands on their hips, others taking a knee on the turf. More than 21,000 people were now not watching the Buffalo football team’s season opener in UB Stadium, but a 19-year-old kid being loaded onto a stretcher and put into an ambulance.
The football team (1-0) defeated Albany (0-1) 51-14 Saturday at UB Stadium for the first win under head coach Lance Leipold. The Great Danes, a team from the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), scored the opening touchdown on an 82-yard drive, but the Bulls rattled of 38 straight points to put the game away.
Those who’ve worked with Leipold at Wisconsin-Whitewater and those who’ve been around him the past few months in Buffalo, from players to assistant coaches to administrators, are filled with confidence. A confidence that Lance Leipold has all the tools to be a successful Division-I coach.
After a spring game, endless two-a-days, the final tune-ups and preseason predictions and expectations, the football team is finally ready to start the 2015 season – none more anxious than Leipold, the Bulls first-year head coach.
While my predicted record of 6-6 for the Bulls suggests that the 2015 season will be a successful one, the true success for the Bulls will come if they can take a step forward and create a program that can be successful for years at a time.
