What’s Going To Happen
Buffalo is doing its best to hang around.
Beating Akron isn’t any sort of a feat, but it cleansed the palate before making a big push to try to get bowl eligible. This is one of those games the team has to win to have any real chance to have any swag bag fun.
Central Michigan has won three straight as the offense has started to find its groove. There aren’t any great wins so far, but beating Eastern Michigan was a bit help. The showdown at Ball State is in mid-November, but this week, just getting by Buffalo and its defense would be good enough.
The Bulls have the best D in the in the MAC by a mile. It’s the best against the run, it’s the best against the pass, the pass rush is fantastic, and … the offense isn’t helping the cause. The ground game is fine, but there’s absolutely no passing attack.
Central Michigan has the league’s second-best defense, and it has the O, too. However, it turns the ball over a ton and it gets flagged way too often. Those mistake on the road against this defense will be just enough to lose a tight battle that comes down to a late UB stop to pull it off.
