The Buffalo Bulls and Connecticut Huskies meet on January 3rd in the
International Bowl in Toronto, Canada at the Rogers Centre. We know how
well that has worked out for Buffalo sports squads so far. This game
looks like a pretty simple cap for me. Any team this year that has
attempted to run against the Bulls with any conviction has been
successful. There defense is not big enough to handle the offensive
line of the Huskies. UConn has had success running in the Big East and
when you take this in conjunction with UB not being able to stop MAC
running attacks you have a serious mismatch. Truth is Buffalo have been
a Cinderella story this year and they have gotten fortunate in many
cases. I dont think anybody truly thinks they should have beaten Ball
St. by 18 points. They got very fortunate with their 2 defensive
touchdowns and while I'm not taking anything away from their win they
could have easily lost a close game in that one. There biggest problem
this year has been their ability to play defense. They are abysmal. If
anyone remembers watching the Bowlign Green game earlier this year they
know what I'm talking about. They wont stop Donald Brown. If he plays
the full 4 quarters he runs for 300 yards. I've made some outrageous
statements this year and I do not believe this to be one of them. They
gave up over 150 yards to 2 different players on Kent St. this year.
I would like this matchup a lot more if UConn committed stupid
turnovers that UB could thrive on. But they dont, they will just pound
the ball the entire game. UB right now is the most overvalued team in
the bowl process. You pit these teams against each other for the MAC
Championship and I think UConn is a 10 point favorite. But one win over
Ball St. in which they imploded and UB is only a 4 pt dog?? That is
crazy and public perception will probably put a lot of money on the
Bulls in this one. I just dont see it. UConn is coming off of two
horrible losses. We all watched them play South Florida and come up
short and then get smoked by Pittsburgh. But when you go back and look
at the game the final score is not indicative of how the game went.
Pitt was only leading 13-10 late in the 3rd quarter and hit a big play
which made UConn desert the running game. A pick 6 sealed the deal and
made this look like a lopsided win. Factor in that Buffalo is a slow
starting team offensively and you should see UConn jump out to an early
lead and pound Buffalo to death.
Prediction: UConn-38 UB-17

Ha, I think we can excuse him shorting UB 3 pts....That means he was only off .6 pts for every stupid UConn turnover.
i hope you know i was being sarcastic. i was the only one in here posting before half saying BELIEVE vs the lil girls crying and hating on UCONN before the half.
