Wow, they tried to give it away. Running out the clock deep in the opponent's territory to put it on ice and Cleveland fumbles it away. Why would you have him in there and not your power backs Wilson or Coppet in that situation? Defense did just enough to hang on by their fingernails at the end. That could have easily had a very different ending.

Having 3 running backs over 100 yards in the same game rarely happens. We did it in back to back games. I have to wonder if that has ever happened.

Don't know when the last time was that we had 0 penalties in a game, but that was great to see.

Wasn't pretty and the opponents were not exactly powerhouses, but 3 wins to end the year will have to give a big boost to making for a positive off season.

We had at least one penalty - an Unsportsmanlike Conduct called AFTER one of the touchdowns (also against UB on the same play)
Undefeated in November (3-0).

My understanding Zimmerman was taken to the hospital as a precaution.

Yeah they aren't great wins but the BG team of September would have lost all three of these games.

Hopefully we have seen the worst.

I was at the game. There wasn't any more than a couple thousand there. I was on east side and the majority of them were Buffalo fans.

Dont know how many season tix they sold but i'm sure my 3 were counted as were Bob Dupont's 3. So I'm guessing when our 6 are added to actal butts in seats it makes up the diff. :)

I hate to judge injuries, but #3 getting hurt with 2 seconds left on the clock darn near cost us the game!
Side not Northen was the only team we lost to that won't be bowling. So at least we weren't losing to chop liver this season.

Another awesome day on the ground. Happy to see Box get his career high of 160 yards. He finished the year over 1,000 and career total of 2,833 is 5th best all time in BG history. I knew the Doyt would be empty but wouldn't miss this game for anything. Always hate seeing the last home game of the year roll around. My guess was 1,500.

I, too, thought it was classy to stark Kman...even if it was a sack. Great to get another win and I'm really looking forward to seeing the next recruiting class. Very happy for the Seniors to go out on a winnig streak. This class had a ton of success and this was a rough year.
