Quarter-by-Quarter Analysis: #OSUvsBUFF - Queen City Sports
A completely different quarter from the Bulls offense and defense. UB was actually able to win the second quarter 13-7. Bulls linebacker Khalil Mack was a man among boys in the second quarter racking up four tackles, including two sacks and two for loss. But his half of dominance was highlighted by a 45 yard interception return to get the Bulls within ten, 23-13. Braxton Miller threw the ball right into the chest of Mack who was in the right position at the line of scrimmage and he quickly turned on the jets and dove over the pillion for the touchdown. OSU quickly responded with a long kickoff return and 37 yard TD run by Jordan Hall, his second of the game.
