admin Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Wow Army is tied with Oklahoma. 14-14. Army game is going to be tough. In one sense it’s good in that it’ll be a legit win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 Wow Oklahoma pulls it out in OT. This Army team must be better than the team we faced last year. I am curious about fan turnout this week. We are 4-0 facing a high profile team in Army with good fan base. If we don’t break attendance records and sell out I would be very disappointed in the fans.

zigo230 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Wow is right. The stats show that Army outgained Oklahoma and was 5 for 6 on 4th down conversions. Crazy. Hope they are emotionally spent when they show up at UB stadium in a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weareub46 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Would've loved for army to pull that one out but they're no joke this year. This matchup really turned into something special. I think it comes down to our defense. We shoulddd be able to put up some good points on them but will we be able to stop their offense? Really hope there's a great turnout. Can't ask for a much better matchup. Let's get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 I suspect that we will get some votes this week. Maybe ranked around 30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weareub46 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 You think so? I'm not sure...but if we beat army I'd say definitely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillenniumBull Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Their ground game is going to be scary. Offense will have to sustain some drives to help the defense out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also they have 6 points in the AP writers poll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillenniumBull Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I’m going to put the over/under for tackles by Hodge in this one at 30.5 and I’m taking the over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing Leipold can’t vote for himself. I also see Turner Gill there. Maybe he will vote for us after this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchcountry7 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 How do you think Army is going to respond after nearly knocking off OU? They are a tough club. This might be the biggest game at UB it some time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weareub46 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Well I guess I was wrong. 6 votes in the AP poll is freakin awesome. Take it to army and things could get real interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might be the biggest game at UB it some time! I agree that this IS the biggest game at UB in some time (forever?). Army will come out and do what Army does...if they run the option against UB the way they did against OU, watch out. Khalil and company will need to be on their toes. I like UB in a reasonably (?) tight game/low scoring... Fill the box and make them beat you...cover the edges! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullsFan14 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 This game makes me nervous. Very surprised we are 6.5 point favorites for this game. Army is a GOOD team. That being said, I do not think their secondary competes with our receiving core and Tyree behind the center. I think this game is going to be a shoot out. I think they are going to rush for 250 yards and Tyree will throw for 250. UB pulls it off 38-35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigo230 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Coach already said that Army will WIN the time of possession.. so that aspect of the game is not worth worrying about. But obviously UB has to take advantage of their opportunities with the ball, but not press too hard. They won't have as many possessions. Having played Army the past couple years, I think our coaches and players are better prepared on Defense than say Oklahoma was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For people of a certain age, who would have ever thought that Oklahoma's defense could not handle a triple option offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubmae86 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Does anyone else feel like it's a huge snub to Army that they been a #5 Oklahoma and they don't even get votes in the AP Poll and Oklahoma only drops 1 spot, while remaining a 5 in the Coaches? That doesn't seem right at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblue32 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 The spread has moved to Buffalo -9, 3 points is a pretty big swing. Smart money is on UB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullsFan14 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 As of Tuesday, Sept 25 at 3 p.m., there are over 19,000 tickets sold (according to Buffalo Business Insider) 25,000 is sell out. With it only being Tuesday, I think a sellout is within reach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me the bigger question is, why is North Texas getting more love than UB? Yes, they beat a bad Arkansas team...and UB beat a bad Rutgers team...the MAC needs more respect; and it will come with more UB wins!

I don’t think it is a matter of more respect for the Sun Belt over the MAC. The best I can explain it is, a.) N. Texas is a more established FBS program, they did rejoin FBS 3 years before UB, b.) they are in Texas and c.) they also routed Incarnate Word, which uses IW for their abbreviated name, and also have a logo almost identical to the university of Iowa, so despite the color being wrong, and the abbreviation, the lazy voters see a big win over a BIG. At least that is how I can explain it. Edited September 25, 2018 by MillenniumBull 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
