Buffalo was 2-10 last year and gave up an average of 32 points per game. Its defense was last in the Mid-American Conference and third last in the country in run defense. The fact that eight defensive starters return from that squad probably is not good news. The Bulls lost 17-7 to Minnesota, but the Golden Gophers ran up 408 yards of offense, including 169 on the ground. Buffalo Quarterback Tyree Jackson threw for 211 yards on 22-of-42 attempts with one touchdown and an interception. Army returns eight starters on offense and routed Fordham 64-6 last week. The Black Knights' option offense racked up 513 yards on 10.9 yards per carry and they only attempted two passes and neither was completed. Army has gone OVER 14 of its last 19 games against MAC teams and from the looks of Buffalo's run defense against Minnesota, the Knights could have a field day. Army averaged 30 points per game in 2016 and scored at least 60 points three times. The posted total is lower due to Buffalo's deceiving score last week, so take this matchup to soar OVER.
