How Does Ohio Bounce Back?

Ohio in the last game faced off against the Miami Redhawks, and they were defeated 30-20. Ohio scored 14 points in the 4th quarter, but it was too late as they ended up losing by 10 points. Parker Navarro and Nick Poulos started under center, and neither were that dynamic. Navarro completed 13 of his 22 passes for 88 yards, zero touchdowns, and two interceptions.

Which Buffalo Team Shows Up?

Buffalo has a 4-3 overall record, but they are coming off a disappointing loss in the last game. Buffalo scored 41 points against Western Michigan, but the defense gave up 48 points, leading to the defeat. The offense was impressive, but the defense just didn’t make enough stops. CJ Ogbonna completed 22 of his 39 passes for 309 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. They allowed Hayden Wolf to throw for three touchdowns, and the defense needs to be better here. 

Buffalo is averaging 23 points, while their defense is giving up 26.3 points per game. The offense is ranked 100th in the league, while the defense is ranked 84th best in all of college football.
