Some of the latest game college comebacks I was able to find..  the biggest infoind 

 

Was Notre Dame and Joe Montana versus Houston 1979

 

Notre Dame was down 34 to 20 with 7 minutes left and went on to win 35-34

 

That's a 14 point come back in the last 7 minutes.. UB went 15 in 4

 

Michigan State versus northwestern is the largest come back in college football history... Down 38 to 3 in the 3rd.. they're down 14 with 8 minutes left 

 

UB still had a bigger deficit late in the game

Thanks for looking that up. Not that WGR could be bothered. They said came back from 14 down in the 4th. Can't even get the accomplishment right.

That's a lot more than coming back by 14 in the 4th quarter 

 

There was 4 minutes and 26 seconds left or something right? 

 

This team might be special PTR

It’s wild!  It’s crazy!  It’s MACtion!
 

Buffalo defense seemed good earlier in the year.  Now, can’t cover, can’t tackle.

 

It’s utterly amazing that they pulled this game out!
 

Now, bowl eligible!   Need to thump Akron, as they should, to get in better shape for a bowl game.  As many bowl games as there are,  6 wins doesn’t guarantee anything.   There could be a half dozen or more MAC teams at 6-6 or better.

They beat Akron a couple of weeks ago.  It’s no-win Kent St in the last game.  You know, one of those Ohio schools.

Big tilt versus former quarterback Cole Snyder 

 

And big 90 yard touchdown bulls!

Dolac just pick sixed Snyder to ice the game.  UB up 37-20 late.

Someone please find that video and post in. 

 

UB is still alive for the MAC Championship game and the MAC regular season title.

It’s a great turnaround for sure but I think it’s highly unlikely they get to the title game. Need a lot of help and they didn’t get any this week besides WMU losing. 
 

Miami and Bowling Green are 6-1 and so is Ohio who UB lost to. Miami and Bowling Green play next week. Need Ohio to lose to Ball State and hope the tiebreakers fall your way

Ball State is the key. If they win Saturday, UB's chances get surprisingly good.

Hey Beane, how about another Buffalo kid at LB?

Dolac is awesome.  I bet he's happy that he transferred back to UB before the season started.  It will be cool to see where he ends up in the NFL and follow his journey.  I saw some people online comparing him to Zach Thomas, the Miami LB from back in the day, who happens to be in the NFL HOF now! 

(he was considered undersized and unathletic coming out of college and was a 5th round pick).

Alack and alas, BSF not here to rain on UB's parade.  Horns up!  Go Bulls!

Love this kid.....LB is an important position on the Bills D and the Bills need 4 or 5 quality ones to survive a season. He keeps rising in the projections (wish he was more under the radar). 
 

Beane and McDermott love football IQ, leadership, availability and maximizing one's talent...this kid checks all the boxes.

Great turnaround by Lembo.  

 

The Conference is probably out, but should have 8 wins and a bowl game.  Great for a 1st season after the disrepair of that Bozo from Michigan.

 

 

Very exciting team for both good and bad reasons.  It feels like a 2-3 score lead could evaporate in minutes.

They are very much still in the hunt for a MAC Championship because the tiebreaker rules are so weird. Their chances go way up if Ball State beats Bowling Green Saturday.

It all depends how he runs imo. He clearly has put a lot of good on tape, has shown good instincts both in the run and pass game and seems like the type of kid who puts a lot of work in the film room. Hopefully he runs well so he has a chance to be drafted.

I have a lot of feelers out around the country ... I know lots of regional scouts and still go to spring games 

 

I thought he was a top UDFA before the year and his game is still basically the same but his name is getting out 

 

I think he can be a 6th round flyer ... If he runs a 4.60 well that's gonna make him money

Yea i'm tentatively putting a 6th round grade on him so far. Watch a lot of UB. He's not huge 6'1 225 so he has to run at a decent clip. Someone will take a crack at him regardless because of his instincts but I agree the faster he run and the better his agility testing the better the chance he has to go as high as possible.

Yea but i still wouldn't be surprised if he's UDFA

 

There have been many great bulls players who don't get the nod and I've been around the program since the D1 inception as a scout and fan

 

I temper my expectations with bulls players because GMs knows it's a great UDFA mid major

Was he ever a wrestler?
