Buffalo Bulls Opponent Outlook

Ohio State football: Taking a closer look at Bradley Roby - Land-Grant Holy Land
Bradley Roby came into the season as the top cornerback prospect in the country and a perennial top 15 pick. After being suspended for the first game of the season, Roby has been criticized since his return and especially after back to back sub par performances versus Wisconsin and Northwestern. The secondary has looked lost the past two games and the preseason All- American is getting most of the blame. Roby is known as a physical cornerback who is great in run support and may be a lock down corner on Sundays but his play has been alarming lately, or so we think.

Baylor wins Bill Snyder Special in Manhattan, 35-25. - Our Daily Bears
It's going to take me a long time to process what happened today in Manhattan. Part of me knows I should be happy about getting a road win in conference play, in a place where we've never won before. Another part feels the doubts expressed by so many others creeping into my appreciation of this team, replacing my unbridled confidence in the 2013 Baylor Bears with what is probably a more realistic (and rational) view of how things are. The bottom line for today is that this game was possibly the best example of a win that feels like losing, where just about everything that could go wrong, did, but we managed to win, anyway. That fact might be a minor miracle.

USF 13 - UConn 10: New Look, Same Result - The UConn Blog
It certainly didn't start pretty. UConn out-gained USF 139-12 in the first quarter, yet were outscored 7-3.

Boyle went just 2/9 for 22 yards passing in the opening 15. What's worse? USF HAD ZERO PASSING YARDS.

FalconBlog--Triumphs and Trials in the BGSU Falcon Nation: Tough Defeat. in Starkville....
Tough loss for BG, but a really solid effort from our guys. Very proud of everything they did out there tonight and while I understand there are no moral victories, I also believe this game will serve to give us confidence moving forward. That's a very hostile environment and BG was down early and they battled back into the game and had a shot to win the game in the 4th Q and that's what you look for.
