Big 4 Hoops Blogger Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) Another must-win for Buffalo this week to keep their MAC East hopes alive. Bulls taking on an Akron team that struggles on both sides of the ball but especially on defense. Zips are 125th out of 130 teams in scoring defense, allowing 38 points per game. Their stats are a little distorted since they played Auburn and Ohio State but make no mistake, Akron is a bad team. They’ve been okay in MAC play, defeating Bowling Green but they also lost by 17 to Ohio. I have Buffalo winning 31-21.

RecoveringHillbilly Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 They have to keep it going with opening up the offense as they did in the 2nd half last week. Finally airing out to TE's and receivers even when Williams wasn't getting open. Fully expecting McDuffie to grind out over 100 again and help him potentially to a 1000 yard break-out season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promotherobot Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Is the MAC East even a realistic possibility? I haven't checked the standings. I'll settle for 6 wins and bowl eligibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I think we have the toughest road to the East, as we drew NIU, Ball St and WMU, who might finish as the top 3 West teams.

UBminicre Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 For the love of god, please don’t come out flat or have a stretch where we give up 21 straights points to inferior team! Don’t even mind a competitive game but these vicious consistency swings are maddening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll settle for 6 wins and bowl eligibility. Right now, it still is because Miami and Kent State are both 2-1. If the RedHawks defeat the Flashes later in the season and Kent loses an additional game, Miami could take the lead in the division. In that scenario, Bulls could win the East by running the table. It’s not likely but we can readdress in a few weeks if UB defeats Akron and Bowling agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promotherobot Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 (edited) Nice turnover. Can we score a TD 1st & goal from the 7? My guess is no. Edited October 23, 2021 by promotherobot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That play calling was trash and KVT is way off today so far, hopefully he can tune it up. With those calls, just bring in Myers and let him give it a go.

promotherobot Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 (edited) We are helpless against running QBs. Good thing that guy can't hit a receiver. Edited October 23, 2021 by promotherobot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBminicre Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Better showing… still very questionable offensive play calling, particularly early. Lost michel which is not good. Hopefully we can keep the distance and cruise to an easy win for a change. Much needed for team imo. May help with confidence going into stretch. We clearly have talent to win games - just need it to stick together for full game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promotherobot Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Winless BGSU is next week. Assuming we win that, can we get one more win from Miami, NIU or Ball St? That'll be 6 wins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winless in the MAC. They played a tough schedule though they did lose to Akron somehow. I also said "assume we win" because nothing is assured with this Bulls team.
