Post Game Meal - BGSU 30, Buffalo 29

Go-Go Gadget Pass Deflection Arm

The keys to the game were:

QB Zach Maynard, UB is 2-0 when Maynard does not throw an INT, but 1-5 When Maynard throws a pick.  Bulls live and die on the turnovers margin, they end plus, they win the game.

Well make that 2-1, Maynard did not throw an interception, and UB "won" the turnover battle recovering a muffed punt and recording an interception.  However 2 blocked punts really put Bowling Green in a game they had no business being in.  For the first time in 8 years, BGSU looked less Urban Meyer and more Va Tech Beamer Ball. 

Barnes has 99 receptions in 8 games, averaging 12 receptions for 132 yards and a touchdown per game. 

In 3 wins, Barnes averages 16 receptions for 198 yards, and 2.6 touchdowns per game.
In 5 losses, Barnes averages 10 receptions for 92 yards and 0.2 touchdowns.

You can't stop Freddie Barnes this year, but keep his yards per catch down and keep him out of the end zone  and you can stop the Falcons.

Barnes had 7 receptions for 104 yards and no touchdowns for 59 minutes of the game, way under his average for the year.  With one catch, with 39 seconds left in the game, he won the game.  The Bulls did not keep him out of the end zone when it matter most and that's why they lost.
