Game is 7:30pm tonight on ESPNU. Hoping we can steal a road win and keep the momentum rolling towards next week's game against Toledo.

Let's go, Falcons!

Can't wait to get home, turn on the tv and crack open a cold one.

BG 39, UB 34. We always seem to play close games with these guys and I'm still feeling good from last week.

Freak, I think you started drinking a little too early. Think you already cracked open a few too many.

Hopefully the admissions website doesn't crash tonight with all the exposure of us playing on ESPNU. Applications have to be coming in faster than we can process them!

We jump offsides on defense on 4th and 4 giving Buffalo further possession. Still results in another punt but that penalty was key because Buffalo downed the ball at our 1 yard line. 2 plays later Cleveland fumbled and Buffalo then took it in for a TD.

Hopefully we can respond with a 10 play 80 yard drive that ends with a Morris TD.

3 plays, 75 yards. 14-7 Buffs. Embarrassing defense.

Don't worry Freak is confident. I'm also confident in 2-10.

4 plays, 83 yards, Buffs 21-7. Could be a long night for the defense.

Take away the Kent game and it's been a long year for the defense.

Well, it doesn't help matters when your coach plays against the top receiver in the league by using press coverage, instead of a zone. So what happens? Some very long completions and three touchdown drives in a row by Buffalo.

Gotta put players in a position to succeed if you hope to have a chance at victory.

This offense COULD be the best in the MAC in another year or so, if it is used correctly and can show some discipline. Doege and Claire are the real deal. Whether they can have even a decent defense to go with it is another question.

With Clair and Doege I see true potential for our offense, but if we don't have a new DC next year it will be another bad year for BG football.
