UB holds on.

[patmoran2006]

Exciting 23-17 opening win at UTEP. Drama game.. UTEP came back and actually scored a go ahead TD with 14 seconds left, but a weak holding call negated it.

What.. A Buffalo sports team catches a break??

[clumping platelets]

:eek:

[BillsWin]

I was too busy watching my Cowboys trounce the Georgia Bulldogs and too busy watching OU fail in epic fashion down in Dallas to watch the UB game. But I heard it was a great game!!!

[patmoran2006]

Zach Maynard held his own for his first start, The running game looked solid without Starks, and Roosevelt had his typical big play receiving TD.

Hire Gill as new Bills coach...why not ?? Any one is better than Jauron...

Buffalo's gonna stomp the crap out of UCF in a few weeks. So long O'leary.

[DrGraves]

UB is going to take down PITT soon!!!!! this will mean huge things for the Buffalo program!

Because we need someone who has proven he can coach a team to the SB and win.

We have done a great job proving that we cant win with unproven coaches.

The Upside is it will elevate UB in stature big time.

The downside is it will almost certainly make Turner Gill a goner next year.

The ONLY thing that's prevented him from being a HC at a major school, besides being black (sorry but its true) is he hasn't really taken down a "big name school." That could change Saturday.

Actually, I dont think it matters.. Some big time AD is going after Gill this winter.

[DrGraves]

None the less I hope we beat Pitt!!!!! We should have beat them at their place year if it were not for some phantom calls by the ref...

Despite the fact that Stull is inconsistent, the Panthers D is more than ready for the task of taking on UB...especially after winning at "home" in Heinz field.

considering the game is in Buffalo, i'm going to assume you don't know what you're talking about at all... pitt will never return to the annual top 25 program it once was.

Noooo, he is doing a good job where he is. We don't want UB suddenly going crap now do we ? ;)

The game this year is in Buffalo, and you were making excuses about last year's game that was in Pittsburgh. Or so I thought while I was there watching at Heinz field, which I don't consider a home game because we lost Pitt Stadium.

Never is a long time. And Buffalo will return to the weak sister of the MAC once Gill leaves.

Any phantom calls so far today? 27-7.

[Nighthawk]

Great bubble screen to Roosevelt for a LONG TD...it's now 27-14.

That was the definition of how to run one too. Perfect timing, blocks downfield...money.

I have nothing against UB - I just took umbrage to the statement that Pitt "only" won due to ref calls last time.

[Mad Bomber]

I'm watching the game. This is a very different team than last year's. They look small, but the most glaring thing is that they have been making bad plays fundamentally, and have taken some STUPID penalties. I am thinking it might be from youth and inexperience. Turner Gill looks PISSED. Unlike the Bills, I won't chalk this one up to coaching (it's lack of talent).

Agreed...this team looks young and doesn't have enough size on the defensive side of the ball. Their LBs are tiny and their DL are not big enough.

[Nighthawk]

Uggh...another Pitt TD...34-14.

[Nighthawk]

Have I said that Roosevelt is incredibly talented yet???!!! Wow, this kid is good! 34-20..missed extra point.

He should go in the first 2 rounds next year, maybe even late 1 (DB - thoughts?)

54-27 Good effort...

54-27 Good effort...He'll go in round 4 or later, a lot of teams will look down upon him because of his lack of top end speed and the really bad level of competition. He should be looked upon as a sleeper though. \

I say he probably goes in the 3rd...he's a playmaker and that will open teams eyes. Yes, the level of competition is not at the top, but there is taking away the fact that this kid is dangerous with the ball in his hands.

[PromoTheRobot]

Bad game with mistakes and turnovers, but how about the UB offense? 500 total yards, Maynard 400 yds w/4 TDs in hs second start...against one of the top defenses in the Big East no less! Keep an eye on that kid.

21,870...good crowd too.
