Any word on Yates and Murawsaki, or is that tomorrow as well?
 


-> The offensive line in general has played well, especially given that there’s three new starters on the inside,” head coach Jim Mora said. “They care, they’re smart, they’re very well coached, they take to coaching. Just as a whole it’s a really good group.” <-

-> “We left a lot out there,” Mora said. “We had some things even in the run game, where we had a lot of success, that just weren’t clean. If we can clean some of that stuff up, which we have to, because we’re playing a really good defense this week, really good defense, but if we can clean some of that stuff up, then we’ve got a chance to improve.” <-

I don't know if these games set us up to win vs. Wake but they'll make a big difference in how we can leverage that win... We don't need a one-off wtf win in another bad season; we need a win that is (and looks like) a reflection of serious progress. Maryland notwithstanding (what an unfortunate bit of scheduling), this team looks a lot better to me. The eyes are happy. Time to get some results to match.

I think its more that if we're going to progress to beat wake then we will beat our next two opponents as a matter of being good enough to beat wake.

-> This is the first meeting between Buffalo and UConn since 2013 - a game the Bulls won 41-12 at UB Stadium.

• This will be the 14th meeting between UB and UConn since the Bulls joined the FBS ranks in 1999. The Huskies have a 10-3 record over that span.

• The Bulls are looking for their first win at Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field. They are 0-4 all-time there. Their last win at UConn came in 2001 in a game played at UConn's Memorial Stadium.

• The last time UB played on grass was in the 2019 Bahamas Bowl. <-

True, I'm just saying beating wake to get to 5-2 is way better than beating wake to get to 3-4.

Must wins are for fans. A true team focuses on the next opponent. Win that game, nothing more. Anyone arguing some game down the road is a must win simply never played. You can’t look ahead. Just win this game - nothing more, nothing less. The goal needs to be to go 1-0 this week.

Yeah, we went with the Notre Dame Broyles winner. I remember being so pumped at red pants introductory presser. Never imagined that would be his high water mark.

Met Bob and his wife the day he was introduced in a low key setting. Very nice people, felt he oozed positivity and energy, too bad he was in over his head. Could have been a fun ride if he was “the deal”.
 
I am going to predict we win this game.

I understand Buffalo is a good team.

Our line play is dominant and at home, I don’t see any let up in that area.

Against Maryland we let up no sacks. Only steady improvement since then.

This game will go to the trenches and at home with an impartial ref crew, I like us by 10 points.

If we win this game, it is a turning point of sorts for the program.

I like the coach from Buffalo and I actually don’t think he was “blowing smoke.” Watch the tape - it is scary the holes that our RB’s ran through.

He also understands we’ve got a chip on our shoulder about the size of Buffalo!

I agree with his assessment of the fact it’s a big game for them but maybe bigger for us. We don’t have the signature win yet.

Saturday should be a blast!
 
I need parking advice for the game on Saturday.

I am meeting another car of people for the game. We used to have Blue Lot passes, but moved out of state so got rid of them. Can I buy two at this point? Anyone have a suggestion regarding parking together? Does the lot across the street still allow parking? I appreciate any guidance. Thanks!

He was a whacko and gave proof of it many times over.
