Matt McDonald ran for eight yards on the first play to get BGSU at the Buffalo one-yard line, and Jaylen Embry would do the rest on a jet sweep rush to put the Falcons up 14-0 with 3:31 remaining to cap off the zany 11-play, 87-yard drive.īuffalo responded with a pace-settling drive, taking 6:46 of game time to drive down the field for a 14-play, 57-yard drive which would end in a Alex McNulty 50-yard field goal. The 56-point effort was one point short of their entire scoring offensive production in the 2020 season.įrom the first drive of the game, anyone in the audience could tell you the game was simply going to be different than your usual football contest.īGSU QB Matt McDonald found Christian Sims on a tight end screen on third-and-long deep in their own end of the field for an 81-yard video game-esque touchdown, truck-sticking a potential defender at the BGSU 25-yard line en route to get BGSU up 7-0 just over a minute and a half into the game.Īfter both teams exchanged two punts apiece, the Falcons found themselves at the Buffalo 17-yard line on fourth-and-7 and would set up for a Nate Needham field goal- or so it seemed, as punter/holder Matt Naranjo would scoop up the snap and shed the tackler to reach the sticks for an eight-yard gain to give BGSU a new set of downs at the Buffalo 9-yard line. It was also their biggest points night since defeating Ball State 48-10 on Nov. The victory was the first league win for the Falcons in two years, with their last league win being a 35-6 result against Akron at home on Nov.
The Bowling Green Falcons (3-6, 1-4 MAC) were on a whole different plane of aggression from the word “go” against the Buffalo Bulls (4-5, 2-3 MAC), stunning the homestanding Bulls early, and claiming a 56-44 victory on the road at UB Alumni Stadium on Saturday afternoon, sending reverberations around the MAC East divisional race.
