Who is wearing #74 in 2015?
Robert Blodgett
Hometown: Lima, New York
Year: Redshirt Senior
Position: Offensive Line
High School: Honeoye Falls-Lima
Freshman (2011): Blodgett Redshirted

Redshirt Junior (2014): Blodgett played Right Guard in 10 of 11 games earning 9 starts and finishing 4-5 as a starter.
Overall: Blodgett is 10-7 as a starter. In his 17 starts, UB has run for 3,101 yards, (182 yards per game) at a rate of 4.48 yards per carry and UB has allowed 23 sacks, (1.35 sacks allowed per game) at a rate of 1 sack allowed for every 24 QB dropbacks.
Outlook: Blodgett has played the role of experienced depth player in his career, but this year he looks to be the day 1 starter at right tackle. At 6'5 307, Blodgett will be especially noticeable as a catalyst for UB's off-tackle run game.
#74 UB Football Game
November 12, 2013 - UB 41, Toledo 51
As usual in 2013, UB's offense started slow and surged in the second half. Unusually, UB's defense did not keep UB in the game, it was torched for 31 first half points and 51 total points in a 51-41 MACtion-style loss at Toledo.
Rally Fails in Toledo
not the end of the world when you learn your QB can throw for 500 yards.UB's first three drives used thirteen plays including three punts. Toledo countered with fourteen plays and three touchdowns. Late in the 2nd Quarter was normally Khalil Mack time, he often made a big play late to give UB momentum going into the 2nd half. When the UB offense tried to create their own momentum, it blew up in their face. A trick play resulted in a fumble recovered by Toledo on the UB 15-yard line and a 28-0 deficit became a 31-0 deficit.
50 seconds into the 2nd half, the score was 38-0. Over the next 29:10, UB outscored Toledo 41-13 in a frantic attempt at a comeback that came up just short. Joe Licata was a decent 12-22 for 115 yards in the 1st half, but was an outstanding 24-36 for 382 yards and 4 TDs in the 2nd half.

The defense allowed 51 points and 551 yards in the loss thatt snapped a 7-game win streak.
