dollars 2 donuts Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 I know,it is asking a lot and it there are a couple of good teams coming up, but I would love to see them run the table, finishing at 13-1 and in the top 25. Quote

I am proud of this team right now and I believe (as we all should) that this will be the best UB season in FBS/Div 1A. ...however, I am worried I am going to get to the end of the season and wonder 'what if" with respect to going undefeated.

Expand Beating Army would have kept them in the polls discussion. Despite the CMU win they aren't getting poll votes now. They will have to win 3-4 more, I think, before they get back on the radar. It really looked to me like the coaching staff gets really conservative when Anthony Johnson is not playing. That's kind of a knock on Tyree Jackson, that they limit his pass plays without AJ. Luckily they have a solid corps of RBs, and that won them the CMU game. Leipold probably feels like there's no need to rush AJ back from the hamstring as long as they play teams they can run on. I doubt Akron will be that tough. Expect Johnson back for Toledo. Edited October 9, 2018 by PromoTheRobot 1 Quote

Expand UB has always been balanced with Leipold...even with Tyree and AJ they rarely throw it 35-40 times a game he runs a numbers offense. If he has more hats at the LoS than defenders In the box they will check to run , every time pretty much. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th down.. if they have the numbers out wide they check to pass.. thats why they check to the sideline every play, the coordinator assesses the defensive alignment and counters Edited October 9, 2018 by Buffalo716 Quote
PromoTheRobot Posted October 13, 2018 Author Posted October 13, 2018 Sorry for the paywall link. But the Athletic is finally paying attention to UB. Good story although they think Allen Greene is still AD and not Mark Allnut. (Whoops!) https://theathletic.com/583909/2018/10/12/lance-leipold-buffalo-bulls-winning-nfl-talent/ Quote
Misterbluesky Posted October 13, 2018 Posted October 13, 2018 Zips without both starting safties....AJ looks 100 % in pre game workout -per Wilson. Nosworthy is out. Quote
PromoTheRobot Posted October 13, 2018 Author Posted October 13, 2018 Glad UB is winning but what a horrible offensive performance. They're winning thanks to the D. Quote

He's hasn't played since. It's starting to look like Tyree Jackson needs AJ to look like a stud. 1 Quote

With Johnson out, defenses have clamped down on Osborne and nobody else gets open with regularity it seems. Quote
