The Buffalo Bulls Enter this weeks contest in pretty good shape. Two starters are dinged up and both are probable for the Ohio State Game.
If the Bulls are to give Ohio State any kind of a game Guy and Lee need to be near 100%
Player | Position | Update | Notes | Status | Reason |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Fred Lee | WR | 8/25/2013 | is probable for Saturday's game against Ohio State | Probable | ankle |
If there is one position the Bulls need to step up this season it is the wideouts. Less Ankle Injury manes one of their starters may not be 100% but he will be on the field. |

Dillon Guy | G | 8/25/2013 | is probable for Saturday's game against Ohio State | Probable | foot |
Dillon Guy is Buffalo starting right guard. Behind him is freshman Dan Collura who did give Guy a good run in camp. |

Jordan Johnson | RB | 8/17/2013 | is expected to miss the entire season | Out | elbow surgery |
Johnson is gone for the year meaning UB is looking for another backup fullback and potential utility H-Back. Buffalo Bulls Lose Jordan Johnson for the season - Bull Run |

Cordero Dixon | WR | 8/25/2013 | is questionable for Saturday's game against Ohio State | Questionable | head |
Another hit to the receiving corps and head injuries always get treated with kid gloves so it's possible that Alex Neutz's backup will be someone not on the post spring depth chart, perhaps Ron Willoughby? |
Ohio State on the other hand is a walking mass of hurt and suspended players. Like Buffalo most of Ohio's woes are not among the starting 22 but there are enough injuries, and in the right places, to think UB may be more competitive than the Vegas lines are saying.
Missing the number one and two back's on your team because of legal issues is a hard pill to swallow especially given that the focus for Ohio State in these early weeks was to use the halfbacks to take the pressure of producing on the ground off of Braxton Miller so that he could focus on his passing game.
