PrintUB starts the MAC portion of the schedule this weekend. UB's first MAC foe is Ball State. Both teams have the same record of 1 -1. Both games for UB and Ball State were non-division MAC games. Buffalo opened with a loss to Pittsburgh (35-16) and beat Stony Brook (35 - 7). Ball State beat interstate rival Indiana (27 - 20) and lost to South Florida (37 - 7) South Florida's win over Ball State moved them into the 22nd ranking.

The Pass defense
We are going to learn something about our Pass defense. I’m not sure if we will like what we learn but I expect this may be their biggest test of the year.
I hope we bring the safeties up
Ball state has about 90% of their pass completions under 10 yards, most of them under 5 yards. I hope we force them to beat us deep…hopefully our corners are up for the task.
Kent State, Temple, Akron too, they can't do it like we do.
Falcons, Bobcats and Redhawks talk a lot can't back it up.
