Buffalo (-24-) at Miami, OH 8:00 ET ESPNU
5* Buffalo (-24-)
The Miami offense was even more putrid than usual in last week’s game against Kent. In the 24-6
loss, they gained just 174 yards. That dropped their year to date average to less than 10 PPG
and only 223 YPG. The Bulls were also getting embarrassed on their ESPN broadcast vs. Toledo
last week. A team that had dominated the have nots of the MAC for 6 consecutive weeks was
exposed to Toledo when they were outrushed 323-104by the Rockets. A late game rush,
however, closed the final score to a respectable 51-41 with 497 passing yards. It proved the Bulls
will not give up. Led by QB Licata and RB Oliver, look for a huge offensive performance. A defense
led by LB Mack will consider this to be a redemption game for a team that had allowed a total of
only 53 points in 6 games prior to last week’s drubbing. Issues with the selection are a price tag
that has been inflated by more than 3 TDs from where it would have been opening week and the
fact that Buffalo may be caught looking ahead in the late stages to their showdown for MAC East
supremacy vs. Bowling Green next week. In any event, you want no part of offensively impotent
Miami.
