Buffalo Falls to Ohio 27-24

On Tuesday night, the UB Bulls lost to the Ohio Bobcats 27-24. The game started out very much in Ohio's favor as they jumped out to a 21-7 second quarter lead. Things looked bleak for the Bulls as they were being outperformed throughout much of the first half. But then came a crucial two minute drill for UB. Buffalo quarterback Zach Maynard threw a touchdown with three seconds left in the half to Naaman Roosevelt. Ohio then bounced back scoring first in the second half to take a 10 point lead. But the Bulls continued to fight back. Maynard threw another touchdown to Roosevelt and then the Bulls added a field goal to tie the game up at 24 point apiece with six minutes left in the fourth quarter. But Frank Solich and Ohio were not about to be stopped. Theo Scott led the Bobcats down the field as time was expiring and got them into field goal range. After not converting on third down, Matt Weller came into the game for Ohio and nailed a 47 yard field goal attempt. Buffalo still had time to go down the field to tie or take the lead in the game but failed to do so. They got as far as the Ohio 34 yard line but thats a third down pass by Zach Maynard was bobbled and then intercepted by Ohio. Ohio now moves to 7-3(5-1) in the MAC and Buffalo falls to 3-7(1-5) in the MAC. This game just came down to what team would make the big plays at the big moments of the game and that team was Ohio. While the stats didn't show it, Ohio was the better team on Tuesday night and finished on top.
