Post Game Meal - Buffalo 42, Miami 17

The key to the game was Buffalo showing up and not letting Miami build momentum.  Brandon “Son of Alonzo” Thermilus showed up for the first time all season scoring two touchdowns in after a sluggish first quarter. 

Turner showed some coaching guts by leading a drive at the end of the first half.  The result, two scores in 2:27 minutes to change the game from a 7-3 score to 21-3 going into halftime.  In addition a trick play to open the half put the game away.

Post Game Meal - Ohio 27, Buffalo 24

The Keys to the game was Jeffvon Gill getting 100+ yards, and preventing Matt Weller from stealing points when the Ohio Offense stalls.

Unfortunately Jeffvon Gill did not have success against Ohio going 9 carries for 32 yards. The UB backfield combined to go 18 for 86. As stated in the Pre Game Meal, Ohio allows 77.8 yards a game in their victories, and the weak running effort played into their hands.

Also unfortunate is that my football reports are very accurate, while my weather reports are not so much. UB stadium was particularly warm and calm for November, giving Matt Weller no problem with his 2 fgs, (47 yard long) and 3 extra points. Weller is 28% of Ohio's points for the season, this week, he was 37.5%. Ohio's offense typically stalled in the second half, but Weller's solid kicking once again bailed Ohio out and led to a victory.

Stats: UB is now 2-5 in games settled by 7 points or less, in 2008 they were 4-3 in those games.
