vs. Buffalo

VanGorders box from last week?

Oh man, would that include BVG then, too? Brutal.

Special teams, BVG, QB and DL I think. Not good at all.

It’s cold as hell, but the wind does not seem too bad at the moment.

Just awful luck.

Stay warm out there, Rogue. Go Falcons!

[BGorDeath]

If the game goes beyond 10pm, will both teams be arrested?

[Schadenfreude]

That was a pretty good opening drive by Bowling Green. Buffalo leads 7-3 after a Falcon field goal.

[jpfalcon09]

All told a pretty decent drive on offense. Defense doesn't have the horses to stop anyone though.

[mbenecke]

After 1 drive per team, Buffalo leads 7-3.

Better looking drive to start there. McDonald looking a little more confident, and Clair had a 21-yard burst.

Other names that came up on that first offensive drive?
-Jalen Grant, Freshman
-Trevon Raymore, RS-Freshman
-Tyrone Broden, RS-Freshman
-Noah Massey, RS-Sophomore
-Julian Ortega-Jones, RS-Sophomore

Really shows just how young the guys are that are out there.

[jpfalcon09]

Penalty helps the defense get a stop. Some encouraging signs early.

[jpfalcon09]

Best quarter of football this year. Not much to compare it to. McDonald looks more settled which is helping.

[mbenecke]

End of 1, Buffalo leads 7-3.

We're on 4th and 2 from the Buffalo 15 or so. We lined up to kick but the quarter ran out. Could see us talking it over and going for it.

Either way, a better start than expected:
-McDonald a much more efficient 5/7 for 58 yards in the first quarter. He's looking a lot more confident this week.
-Ortega-Jones looking solid out there tonight, with 3 catches for 33 yards in the first quarter.
-Clair with 7 carries for 45 yards. We're a better offense when he's healthy and out there.

[mbenecke]

And of course, after the quarter, Needham's kick is wide right from 33 yards. He made the nullified one on the other side of the break.

Dang. That killed our momentum.

Terrible idea to kick when you have to change sides like that with the wind at his face. Regardless, a solid quarter offensively. Solid effort.

[jpfalcon09]

Defense won't be able to get stops without opponents shooting themselves in the foot with penalties and miscues.

[mbenecke]

Buffalo shoots right back down the field and scores without much resistance. 14-3, Bulls, 10:37 left in the 2nd quarter.

I've noticed that our defense forces third downs, but they never get stops. If we started to win third down, we'd be so much better off.
