2013 Buffalo Bulls Football BULLS ENTER 2013 FILLED WITH OPTIMISM The anticipation is at its highest level yet, as head coach Jeff Quinn begins his fourth season at the helm of the University at Buffalo football team. The team returns every offensive skill position starter, and graduated just six players who were consistent contributors to the team in 2012. The team fought through numerous injuries, and in the process developed the next generation of star performers on both sides of the ball. There will be plentiful depth, as 20 returning starters from all three phases of the team will gel with a depth chart that is jampacked with youth who saw extended playing time. The team continued to develop in 2012, ending the season with wins in three of the last four games of the season. For the first time under Coach Quinn, the Bulls will have an incumbent under center, as the team returns Joe Licata and multipurpose threat Alex Zordich from last season. Also returning – at full health – is senior running back Branden Oliver, who suffered numerous injuries that put a damper on a season that saw him enter as a watch list member for multiple national honors, and senior wide receiver Alex Neutz. The Grand Island native is within striking range of a handful of program records after a season in which he went over 1,000 yards and caught 11 touchdowns. On the defensive side of the ball, two-time All-MAC honoree Khalil Mack passed on a potential NFL career for one more season to join a defense that was markedly improved from year’s past. On the coaching staff, the team will have a great deal of consistency, as the entire roster of assistants will return to the team to continue to develop the team in all three phases. Here’s a look position-by-position at the battles that will occur during camp as the Bulls prepare to open the 2013 season at Ohio State on Aug. 31.
OLIVER OFFENSE •Quarterback• Joe Licata came into the season as the team’s backup, but earned the final four starts of the season and led the team to a 3-1 record in those games. He played in nine games total and threw for 1,045 yards and seven touchdowns for the season. Licata earned the starting job after a solid spring. UB will have the luxury of having an experienced starter as a backup in senior Alex Zordich, who started in the team’s first eight games of the season before an injury sidelined him. He was one of the top dualthreat quarterbacks in the conference, rushing for 501 yards (5.0 yards per carry) and a touchdown while throwing for 1,245 and nine more scores. Behind Licata and Zordich, a full stable of quarterbacks will be in play, starting with sophomore Tony Daniel. After serving as the team’s holder on special teams, and a brief stint as a gadget QB, Daniel has the size and athleticism to find his way into the huddle. Also joining the mix is Collin Michael, who redshirted in 2012 but is a dark horse candidate who impressed the coaching staff in their limited time watching him under center. •Running Backs• By his standards, it was a disappointing season for Branden Oliver, who missed five

whole games and most of four other games that he tried to play in. Despite the injury troubles, Oliver still led the team with 821 yards and averaged 117 yards per game. OIiver will enter his final season just 626 yards, and two 100-yard games away from owning the program record for career rushing yards and 100-yard games. With Oliver’s injury, the team’s depth at running back was tested early and often, yielding incredible results and revealing just how deep this group is. It starts with Devin Campbell, who emerged as one of the top true freshmen in the conference, making an impact right away with 502 yards rushing, 176 yards receiving and three total touchdowns. He played in 11 games, making three starts en route to being named the team’s Newcomer of the Year. Brandon Murie also was able to develop in an increased role, racking up 477 all-purpose yards in his ten games played. Anthone Taylor and James Potts showed brief flashes of brilliance before injuries cut their seasons short. Taylor was injured in the spring of 2012 and took a redshirt after a promising freshman season in 2011, while Potts took his second career carry 49 yards for a touchdown before hurting his knee immediately after scoring. Taylor is fully recovered and had a very productive spring, while Potts will continue to rehab and make a case for playing time in the fall. Jordan Johnson redshirted in his first sea-

likely make an early impact on special teams. •Offensive Line•
Boomer Brock has recovered from an injury that forced him to miss most of last season and will return to his fullback position in 2013.
Important reserves include Devon Hughes, who played in nine games, starting in four, and ranked second on the team in catches, with 23 (for 228 yards and one touchdown). Rudy Johnson made 16 catches for 182 yards in 10 games played and Cordero Dixon had 10 catches for 96 yards as the team’s punt returner as well.
In a season filled with injuries, an argument could be made that no unit had a greater impact in 2012 than the starting offensive line. The quintet all started every game for the team, and blocked for two different starting quarterbacks and three different primary running backs, but still was rock solid. Three different ball carriers ran for 500 yards or more, including Zordich, who ran for 501 yards despite not playing in the final four games of the season.
Freshmen James Coleman and Joe Schillace will battle for playing time as well. •Wide Receivers• Alex Neutz seemed to be unstoppable in his junior year, making the All-MAC Second Team and earning UB Offensive MVP honors. In the single season record book, his 65 catches ranked sixth overall (third in the Division I era), his 11 touchdowns were the second most ever, and his 1,015 yards receiving were the second most in the Division I era and the fourth most in program history. Now entering his final season, he ranks sixth in career catches, seventh in yards, second in touchdowns, and fifth in 100-yard games. On the other side of the offense, fellow senior Fred Lee missed six games due to injury, but posted a career high in receiving yards with 261 on just 17 catches (an average of 15.4 per catch). He is one of many
After a strong spring, sophomore Marcus McGill will challenge for a starting role in 2013. John Dunmore (10 catches, 106 yards) leads a long list of receivers who also have the opportunity to be the next impact pass catcher for the team in 2013: Ron Willoughby, Natey Adjei and Malcolm Robinson. Incoming freshmen Jamarl Eiland, Boise Ross and Jacob Martinez will look to make an immediate impact on the receiving corps. •Tight Ends• The UB offense has increased the tight end role in recent seasons, finding unique ways to involve the group. That starts with Alex Dennison, who went back to his roots as a quarterback, serving as a key contributor out of the “Alley-Cat” formation. He caught six passes for 64 yards, carried the ball seven times for 18 yards, and completed all three of his passing attempts for 82 yards in 2012.
Returning to the team are three of the 2012 starters: Andre Davis, Trevor Sales, and Jasen Carlson. The trio returns as pillars of the offensive line, which proved that it isn’t who has the ball in his hands, but rather who is clearing the way for him. They helped lead a group that improved the team’s total offensive yardage from 2011 and helped pave the way for 2,120 rushing yards. Davis earned the team’s Workhorse Award, given to the player who played the most snaps for the team, while Carlson was honored with the UBelieve Offensive Line Award. Despite losing a pair of starters, a large group of reserve linemen will be jockeying for a spot in the starting lineup.
Jimmy Gordon was a more pure passcatcher, playing in all 12 games while making 10 starts. Aside from his work on special teams, he caught 17 passes for 262 yards, the fourth most on the team, and a pair of touchdowns. For his efforts, he earned the UBelieve Tight End Award.

2013 Buffalo Bulls Football Dillon Guy is a likely candidate for a starting spot, after playing in 10 games as a multi-position reserve, and Jake Silas (five games played) and Gabriel Barbe (three games played) could slide into the starting tackle spot or in the interior line. Also in the mix for starting minutes are Jake Pickett, John Kling, Jake Silas, Jessie Back, and Robert Blodgett. Redshirting for the team in 2012 were Andrew Borruso and Dan Collura. •DEFENSE• •Defensive Line• While the void left from four-year impact player Steven Means will surely be felt, the defensive line remains a solid contributor to the ever-improving UB defense. It starts with senior Colby Way, who built off a breakout 2011 season to have an even better junior year, starting in all 12 games and finishing fifth on the team in tackles (58) and second in sacks (six). Three other linemen saw the field for major minutes, and appear willing and able to fill in for Means and departed nose guard Wyatt Cahill. Kristjan Sokoli played in all 12 games at nose guard and defensive end, making 20 tackles. Beau Bachtelle also played in every game, and made 11 tackles for the season. Dalton Barksdale is anoth-
MACK er candidate for nose guard, playing in 11 games and totaling 12 tackles. Scout team members who look to take the next step in their development include Kendall Patterson and Todd Therrien. A large number of potential linemen were redshirted last year, and finally have a chance to get back on the field and show the defensive coaching staff just how far they were able to come. Max Perisse, Lance Weaver, Kyle Winfield, and Albert McCoy are all coming off redshirt seasons in 2012. The UB coaching staff heavily recruited the defensive line in the offseason and incoming freshman Xavier Davis, Chris Ford, Demone Harris, Tedroy Lynch and Zach Smekal will add depth to the defensive line. •Linebackers•
WAY
On signing day, Coach Quinn acknowledged that one of his top recruiting priorities was not found in the halls of any high school or junior college, but in his own locker room. After a third straight year as a standout linebacker, Khalil Mack was considering a chance at being drafted as a junior in the 2013 NFL Draft. He opted to stay in Buffalo and continue to boost his draft stock, and UB’s 2013 opponents are none too pleased about it. Mack is just one of a handful of impact players who make up the linebacking corps.
10
Mack earned first-team All-Conference honors for the second straight season, and also was tabbed by Sports Illustrated as an honorable mention All-American. The Fort Pierce, FL native had 94 tackles, including 21 tackles for loss, again putting him among the nation’s best in the category. Mack added four forced fumbles and eight quarterback sacks in 2012. He comes into 2013 within range of owning the NCAA record for career tackles for loss. Beside him is junior Lee Skinner, who was a devastating force in the opposition’s backfield all season long, finishing second on the team in tackles (89), fourth in sacks (5), and fourth in tackles for loss (8.5 for 47 yards). Joining the dynamic duo of Mack and Skinner was Jake Stockman, who started in five games and totaled 59 tackles (4.0 for loss) and 2.5 sacks. The trio were among the top four in total tackles for the team, perfectly executing defensive coordinator Lou Tepper’s new scheme. Despite its depth getting hit by graduation the hardest of any other position on the team (losing four major reserves), there are plenty of options for the team in 2013. Kendall Roberson played in 11 games, predominantly on kick coverage, and can see increased playing time with a solid Spring season. Brandon Tammaro, Ryan Paxson and Travis Pitzonka are also candidates to make the jump from the scout team.

2013 Buffalo Bulls Football Nick Gilbo and Waylon Fink are all coming off redshirt seasons.
Okezie Alozie leads the group, as he started as a special teams ace and eventually found his way in to the defensive secondary, playing in 10 games as a true freshman. Tomarris Bell also was a special teams contributor, playing in ten games. Brandon Berry, Alexander Small, William Rembert, and C.J. Stancil are all coming off redshirt years and are highly touted recruits.
Junior Blake Bean transfered to UB from Butler Community College in January and participated in spring drills. Incoming freshmen at the linebacker spot include Brandon Crawford, Jarrett Franklin, Solomon Jackson and Greg Lis.
Freshman Andrews Dadeboe and Houston Glass will add depth to the defensive backfield.
•Defensive Backs• After a tone of uncertainty was cast upon the secondary in the 2012 preseason, fans learned quickly that there would be no slouches in the defensive backfield for the Bulls. Buffalo ranked second in the MAC in pass defense, allowing teams to throw for just 206.5 yards per game. The Bulls had 21 pass breakups in the last four games of the season after 19 total in the first eight games of the year. Against Pittsburgh, the Bulls held Panthers QB Tino Sunseri to just 128 yards passing, the lowest total of the season for the Big East’s second best passer. It starts on the outside, where Cortney Lester and Najja Johnson were among the very best in the MAC at the position. Lester continued to develop into a lock-down corner, making 39 tackles (22 solo) and 10 passes defended. His season highlight came late in the year, when he became the first player in Buffalo’s Division I-A era to record three interceptions in a game, helping UB to a 2924 win over Western Michigan. Across the way, Johnson started in all 12 games for the team, and led the team and the Mid-American Conference in interceptions, with five, which ranked 13th nationally. The former walk-on finished second among UB’s defensive secondary players in tackles, with 43 (27 solo).
•Special Teams•
JOHNSON players will compete for just two starting jobs. Witney Sherry and Okoye Houston began the year as the starters, but injuries and developing depth lent itself to many changes. Sherry came into his own in his first season as an every-day starter before missing the final six games due to injury. Despite only playing in half the team’s games, he ranked ninth on the team with 40 tackles (25 solo). Houston played in all 12 games and made eight starts, making 27 tackles. Jumping into the fold was Derek Brim, Adam Redden, and Marqus Baker. Brim stepped in as an injury replacement, making the final five starts of the season for the team while playing in all 12 games as a safety. He made 47 tackles for the season (33 solo). Redden proved to be a key member of the UB secondary and special teams playing in ten games. A rash of injuries gave him extended time, playing an extended role in the last seven games of the year. He also blocked two punts for the team late in the season.
Carlos Lammons and Dwellie Striggles are the backups at cornerback, with Striggles playing in 11 games and Lammons playing in 10 games with one start.
Baker came off a redshirt year as a solid reserve, developing into a shutdown reserve late in the season. Despite not picking off any pass attempts, he still finished tied for the team lead in pass breakups (with six). He played in all 12 games and made 17 tackles.
At safety, there will be the tightest competition on the defensive side of the ball, as five
Even more depth is expected in 2013, which will be a boon for the UB special teams.
11
The Bulls entered 2012 with question marks at both the punter and place-kicker position, but Tyler Grassman and PatrickClarke filled the voids, respectively. Buffalo also brings back depth at long-snapper and holder. Grassman continued to develop as the team’s starting punter, recording 80 punts for the season. He averaged 35.4 yards per kick, with a 32.8 net average. For the season, he made four punts of 50 or more yards, including a season high of 58 at Northern Illinois. Of his kicks, 19 were downed inside the opponent’s 20 yard line with only three touchbacks. Clarke converted on 11 of 15 field goal attempts for the season, and also served as the starter on kickoffs, recording 13 touchbacks. He made four field goals from over 40 yards. He started fast, hitting his first four field goals and six of his first seven attempts of the season. His season highlight came when he hit field goals from 49 and 47 yards, with the 47-yarder coming as time expired to give the Bulls a 27-24 win over Miami (OH). In the return game, the team is still searching for a go-to athlete to step up. Cordero Dixon was the main punt returner, taking 10 for 31 yards in the season. On kickoffs, Okoye Houston led the team with 13 returns for a 19.1 average, but Brandon Murie and Devin Campbell also were rotated into the returner role.

2013 Buffalo Bulls Football
Head Coach Jeff Quinn Head coach Jeff Quinn continues to mold the Buffalo football program into his vision since being hired on Dec. 22, 2009. The Bulls went 4-8 (3-5 MAC) in 2012, but it was the way UB ended the season that got fans excited. Buffalo won three of its last four games. The Bulls posted their best numbers in nearly every statistical category since Quinn’s arrival. UB rushed for 2,120 yards the third highest total in school history and the most as a Division I-A program. On the other side of the ball, the Bulls ranked second in the MAC in total defense. Quinn led the Bulls to a 3-9 record (2-6 MAC) in 2011 with some record-breaking performances. Running back Branden Oliver set the single-season rushing record with 1,395 yards. He coached a pair of first-team AllMAC selections in Oliver and linebacker Khalil Mack. The Bulls became more comfortable with Quinn’s system in year two and the numbers reflected it. UB averaged eight more points and 68 more yards of total offense per game than in 2010. Buffalo had 13 plays of 40 or more yards in 2011 - the most in its Division I era. In 2010, the Bulls finished 2-10 in his first season, with a 1-7 mark in MAC play. Despite the record, the Bulls boasted one of their best defenses in their Division I history in 2010 as efensive backs Davonte Shannon and Domonic Cook earned All- MAC First Team honors, while linebacker Khalil Mack was named to Phil Steele’s 2010 Postseason All-Freshman Team. Quinn was introduced as the 24th head coach in the history of the University at Buffalo football program by former Director of Athletics Warde Manuel on Dec. 22. Quinn has produced record-breaking offenses throughout his 27-year college coaching tenure and has won conference and national championships at his last three stops, including five conference crowns in the past eight seasons. As offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at Cincinnati for the past three seasons, Quinn has helped the Bearcats compile a 33-6 record, including a 12-0 record in 2009 and a national No. 4 ranking heading into the Sugar Bowl meeting with defending national champion Florida.
Quinn was named one of five finalists for the 2009 Broyles Award, which is given to the nation’s top assistant coach. Unranked in preseason polls, Cincinnati’s undefeated regular season catapulted the Bearcats to No. 3 in the BCS standings and earned them an invitation to the Allstate Sugar Bowl, the school’s second consecutive BCS game. UC set numerous school records in 2009, including those for wins (12), road wins (6), consecutive regular season wins (18), points (495), passing yards (3,844), fewest fumbles (10) and fewest turnovers (10).

Behind Quinn’s offensive line, the Bearcats have had an individual top the 100-yard plateau in six of the last eight games and eight out of 12 games overall. UC has topped 200-yards rushing on three occasions and has set the school record for points and touchdowns. Offensive tackle Jeff Linkenbach was a midseason selection to the SI.com all-America squad. UC leads the nation in passing efficiency (166.19) despite using five different quarterbacks through the course of the season. The Bearcats rank sixth in passing offense (320.3), scoring offense (39.8), and total offense (464.3) and 10th in sacks allowed (0.9) behind Quinn’s coordination of the offense. Eleven UC studentathletes were honored as allBIG EAST selections, including four out of Quinn’s five starting offensive linemen. Chris Jurek (1st), Alex Hoffman (2nd), Jason Kelce (2nd), and Linkenbach (2nd) earned all-BIG EAST honors in 2009.

He has been very choosy in his desire to be a head football coach and he felt Buffalo was just a great fit. I wish him the best and expect great things at the University at Buffalo from Jeff Quinn.” -Brian Kelly Head football coach, Notre Dame “Jeff Quinn was a pivotal part of the tremendous coaching staff built over the years at the University of Cincinnati, and was an important player in the success enjoyed by the UC Bearcats. It is my hope that same magic follows Jeff to the University at Buffalo.” –SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher President of University of Cincinnati (2003-09) “We have followed Coach Quinn’s Cincinnati offense quite closely here in Indianapolis. They have been up-tempo, exciting, and exceptionally productive. I’m certain UB students, alumni and fans will be very happy with the Bulls’ squad Coach Quinn will produce.” –Bill Polian Former President, Indianapolis Colts “Jeff Quinn is one the most enthusiastic, passionate football coaches I have ever known. His knowledge of football is second to none and his wide-open brand of football will bring excitement to all UB fans.

In 2004, Wood rejoined Green on the staff of the Arizona Cardinals. Wood served one season as the offensive coordinator for the Cardinals, overseeing the offensive staff and handling play-calling responsibilities.
Offensive Coordinator/Wide Receivers Iowa ‘79 Third Season at Buffalo Alex Wood begins his third season as offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach at Buffalo. In 2012, UB’s offense rushed for 2,120 yards and passed for 2,391 yards. It was the first time in the Division I-A era to rush and pass for over 2,000 yards. In addition, Alex Neutz became just the third receiver in school history with 1,000 receiving yards in a single season.
He spent the 2006-07 seasons as the passing game coordinator at the University of Arkansas and ultimately ended up back in the Midwest helping the RedHawks of Miami become the first team in Division I history to go from one victory to double digit wins. Wood is a native of Massillon, Ohio, and was a standout football player and wrestler at Washington High School. He and his wife, Rosa, have three children--Jerrel, Alex and Natalie. His son Alex is the defensive coordinator at Wayne (NE) State College.
In his first season as offensive coordinator, the offense saw significant improvement. UB averaged eight more points and 68 more yards of total offense per game than in 2010. Buffalo had 13 plays of 40 or more yards in 2011 - the most in its Division I era.
Lou Tepper Defensive Coordinator/Linebackers Rutgers ‘67 Second Season at Buffalo
As wide receiver coach, Wood coached Marcus Rivers to his first All-MAC selection. In addition, Alex Nuetz had the best season of his young career with a team-high 641 receiving yards in only nine games. Wood brought with him over 30 years of experience at the Division I level and he has also served as a coordinator in the National Football League. He spent the past season as wide receivers coach at Miami University where he helped the RedHawks claim a Mid-American Conference championship a year removed from winning just one game.
Lou Tepper begins his second season with the Bulls, serving as UB’s defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. Tepper has won over 100 games as a head coach and has served as defensive coordinator at LSU, Illinois and Colorado.
His coaching career is highlighted by tremendous success at the highest levels of both college and professional football. From 1989-93 he was part of Dennis Erickson’s staff for the Miami Hurricanes, coaching the running backs, while helping the Canes to a pair of National Championships (1989 and 1991) and a perfect 12-0 season in 1991.
In his first season with the Bulls, Tepper led the defense to a second place overall ranking in the MAC. UB shattered the school’s Division I-A record with 34 sacks on the season. He coached Khalil Mack to All-MAC First Team honors.
Wood has also been a wide receiver coach in the NFL with the Cincinnati Bengals, a quarterback coach for the Minnesota Vikings and the offensive coordinator of the Arizona Cardinals.

Wood moved into the pro ranks in 1999, when he was hired by Dennis Green as the quarterbacks coach of the Minnesota Vikings. He spent four seasons with the Vikings’ organization. In his first year with the team, the Vikings selected Daunte Culpepper in the first round of the 1999 NFL Draft. By Culpepper’s second season, the young star not only took over the starting quarterback job but earned a start for the National Football Conference (NFC) in the Pro Bowl. He tied for the NFL lead with 33 passing touchdowns and ranked second in the NFC with 3,937 yards. Culpepper led the Vikings to the NFC Central title and a spot in the conference championship game. In 2001, Culpepper was lost to a season-ending injury but still managed to finish third in the NFC in completion percentage (64.2). The CulpepperWood combination was back at it again in 2002. Culpepper spearheaded the NFL’s second-ranked offensive unit and in the process the Vikings’ quarterback finished second in the NFC in passing yardage (3,853) for the second time in Wood’s tenure. Wood was named wide receivers coach by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2003. In his one year in Cincinnati, Wood coached two players in the top 10 of receiving yards in the AFC (Chad Johnson and Peter Warrick). Johnson led the AFC with 1,355 yards on 90 receptions.

2013 Buffalo Bulls Football Jappy Oliver
Don Patterson
Assistant Head Coach/Defensive Line Purdue ‘78 Fourth Season at Buffalo
Quarterbacks/Recruiting Coordinator Army ‘73 Third Season at Buffalo
Jappy Oliver enters his fourth season as defensive line coach. He continues to develop very strong defensive lines. In 2012, he coached the duo of Steven Means and Colby Way who combined for 21.5 tackles for loss and 13.5 sacks. Means was named second-team All-MAC. In his first season in 2010, he coached a defensive line that had 23.5 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks. His defensive line improved on those numbers in 2011 with 24 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks. Oliver came to Buffalo after spending four years at Notre Dame as the Irish defensive line coach and boasts over 30 years of collegiate coaching experience. From 2005-08, Oliver helped the growth of Irish defensive ends Victor Abiamiri and Chris Frome as well as defensive tackles Derek Landri and Trevor Laws. Abiamiri was a second-round pick in the 2007 NFL draft by the Philadelphia Eagles, while Landri was chosen that same year in the fifth round by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Laws was drafted by the Eagles in the second round of the 2008 draft and became the earliest Irish defensive tackle selected since Bryant Young was taken in the first round 14 years earlier. Frome was signed the day after the ‘07 draft as an undrafted free agent by the Chicago Bears and went to camp with the then-defending NFC champions. Oliver will also serve as the team’s pro liaison. Oliver spent 2003-04 as defensive line coach under former Irish head coach Lou Holtz at South Carolina, teaming with former Irish defensive coordinator Rick Minter to achieve a noteworthy turnaround on the defensive side in 2004 as the Gamecocks finished with a national ranking of 20th in total defense (315.18 yards per game). Oliver previously served on the staff of Air Force’s Fisher DeBerry for eight seasons from 1995 through 2002, helping the Falcons to five postseason bowl appearances including wins in the Oahu Bowl (1998) and the Silicon Valley Bowl (2000). Oliver was a standout athlete at Southwestern High School in Flint, Mich., earning all-city and all-district accolades in both football and basketball. He was the city’s athlete of the year in 1973 and captained teams in football, basketball and baseball. He has one daughter, Candace, and a son, Justin.
Don Patterson enters his third season as quarterbacks coach at Buffalo and the passing game has improved significantly since his arrival. In 2012, both Alex Zordich and freshman Joe Licata posted good numbers. Zordich threw for 1,254 yards and nine touchdowns while Licata passed for 1,045 yards and seven touchdowns. In his first year with the Bulls, Patterson coached Chazz Anderson who passed for 2,454 and 11 touchdowns on the season. Patterson has a long and decorated coaching career, including tremendous success as a head coach at the Football Championship Series (FCS) level with Western Illinois. Patterson spent 10 seasons at Western Illinois, compiling a 62-45 overall record before illness forced him to step away from coaching for a year. Patterson led the Leathernecks to three playoff berths, a pair of Gateway Football Conference titles and a No. 1 national ranking during his tenure. In his decade as head coach, Patterson produced 108 all-conference honorees, 34 academic all-conference selections, 59 All-Americans, including two consensus all-Americans, and two academic All-Americans. Patterson came to Western Illinois after a 20-year run with famed Iowa head coach Hayden Fry, part of a coaching tree that includes Wisconsin’s Bret Bielema, Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz, Oklahoma’s Bob Stoops and Arizona’s Mike Stoops. During his tenure at Iowa, the Hawkeyes appeared in 14 bowl games, including three Rose Bowls. The 1985 Iowa team was ranked No. 1 in the nation for five weeks, en route to a school-record 10 wins. Under Patterson’s guidance, the Iowa offense was explosive, leading the Big Ten in rushing (217.0 yards/game) and scoring (34.3 points/game) while finishing second in pass efficiency in 1997. Iowa finished the 1997 campaign ranked eighth in the nation in rushing offense and ninth in scoring, and had its highest pass efficiency ranking of any Iowa team since 1985. Patterson was instrumental in Iowa’s success, making the Hawkeyes one of only three Big Ten teams (also Ohio State and Michigan) to play in 14 bowl games during his tenure. Iowa appeared in the Rose Bowl after the 1981, 1985 and 1990 seasons, and made eight consecutive bowl appearances from 1981-88. The success of the Hawkeyes was immediate upon Patterson’s arrival with Fry, evidenced by a Rose Bowl berth in their third season (1981), which was Iowa’s first Rose Bowl appearance since 1958. Iowa ranked third among Big Ten teams in victories from 197998, and was one of three Big Ten teams to win more than 100 games between 1984-98. From 1979-98 the Hawkeyes produced 38 first-team all-Big Ten selections, as well as six special teams first-teamers. Six Hawkeyes were first round NFL draft picks while five others were chosen in the second round and seven more in the third. Patterson directly coached five of Iowa’s top seven career receivers, with the other two playing during his time. Prior to being named offensive coordinator, Patterson coached the Iowa tight ends - two of which, Marv Cook and Jonathan Hayes, enjoyed lengthy NFL careers. Patterson was the last member of Fry’s original Hawkeye staff. His association with Fry began in 1978 as an assistant at North Texas State coaching the defensive secondary.

2013 Buffalo Bulls Football 2012 GAME RECAPS GEORGIA 45, BUFFALO 23
BUFFALO 56, MORGAN STATE 34
The University at Buffalo football team put up a valiant effort before falling to sixth-ranked Georgia, 45-23, in front of 92,446 at Sanford Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Bulls put up 347 yards of offense against one of the nation’s top defenses and trailed by only eight at the half before losing to the Bulldogs.
The postgame fireworks at UB Stadium were no comparison to the ones set off by the University at Buffalo offense in a 56-34 win over Morgan State on Saturday night. The Bulls rolled up 571 yards of total offense while possessing the ball for less than 20 minutes. The 56 points were the most ever scored by the Bulls in their Division I-A history.
SEPT. 1, 2012 • SANFORD STADIUM • ATHENS, GA
Alex Zordich and Branden Oliver led the Bulls’ offensive attack. The duo combined to rush for 194 yards and each scored a touchdown. Oliver gained 111 yards on 30 carries, while Zordich ran for a career-high 83 yards on 14 attempts. Georgia took its opening possession and drove 53 yards for a touchdown. A confident Buffalo team responded with an 11play, 75-yard drive of its own and Zordich found Alex Neutz for a 16-yard touchdown pass to cut the lead to 7-6. However, Patrick Clarke failed to convert the extra point. UB special team troubles continued on the next play as Georgia return man, Todd Gurley, took the kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown to put the Bulldogs ahead, 14-6. Georgia would score a field goal and a touchdown on two of its next three possessions to take a 24-6 lead and seemingly had control of the game. However, the Bulls weren’t going to go away quietly. On its next possession, UB got its run game going, ignited by a 36-yard run by Oliver. The junior running back also added a 17-yarder on the drive. A 19-yard completion from Zordich to Jimmy Gordon gave the Bulls first and goal at the 4-yard line. Oliver capped the Bulls’ 94-yard scoring drive with a 2-yard touchdown run. “Overall, offensively to come up with a 94-yard drive against one of the best defenses Georgia has seen in a while gives us a great deal of confidence that we can move the ball when we put our minds and our hearts to it,” Quinn said. The Bulls’ defense stepped up on Georgia’s next possession and forced a three-and-out. Colby Way recorded his second sack of the afternoon to force a Bulldog punt. Georgia-native Cordero Dixon returned the punt 33 yards to give UB the ball at the Bulldogs’ 48-yard line. UB drove the ball down to the 1-yard line, but had to settle for a Clarke 18-yard field goal, but still trailed just 24-16 at halftime. At the half, the Bulls had 243 yards of total offense compared to Georgia’s 188. The Bulldogs struck quickly in the second half and took just six plays to score a touchdown to take a 31-16 lead. Georgia began to move the ball better in the second half. A late third-quarter touchdown and 55-yard touchdown run by Gurley midway through the fourth put the Bulldogs ahead, 45-16. Buffalo put together an impressive 10-play, 75-yard touchdown drive on its final possession of the game. Zordich connected with Gordon for 38 yards on the drive’s first play to set the tone. Zordich capped the drive with his feet with a 2-yard touchdown plunge. Defensively, the Bulls had more sacks (3) and tackles for loss (5) than the vaunted Georgia defense (2 and 4). Way led the UB effort with two sacks to go along with six tackles. Scott Pettigrew led all tacklers with nine.

SEPT. 8, 2012 • UB STADIUM • BUFFALO, NY
The offense was led by the trio of Alex Zordich, Alex Neutz and Branden Oliver. Zordich had the finest game of his career by going 16-for-21 for 237 yards and a career-high four touchdowns. The four touchdown passes tied a Division I-A record. Zordich was red hot out of the gate, completing all 10 of his passes in the first half. The Youngstown, OH native’s favorite target was Neutz who finished with eight catches for a career-high 154 yards and tied a school-record with four touchdown catches. Neutz had touchdown catches of 16, 22, 34 and 28 yards. And then there was Oliver. The junior running back had 25 carries for a UB Division I-A-record 238 yards and two touchdowns. It was a career high rushing effort for the Miami native. He broke his own Division I-A record of 235 yards set last season against Akron. On its first possession, Morgan State drove down the field and had first and goal at the UB 5-yard line. The UB defensive responded with a Lee Skinner sack, a Khalil Mack tackle for loss and a Colby Way sack to force a Morgan State field goal. The Bears’ lead was short lived as Buffalo took the ensuing kickoff and drove 75 yards for a touchdown. Oliver plunged into the end zone from one yard out for his first touchdown of the night. The scoring continued on UB’s next possession as Zordich connected with Jimmy Gordon from 18 yards out to put the Bulls up 14-3. It was the first career touchdown for the junior tight end. After a Morgan State field goal, the UB offense struck quickly again – driving 62 yards on just five plays. Oliver scored from three yards out, for this second touchdown of the game, to put the Bulls ahead, 21-6. Morgan State drove 90 yards on its next possession to cut the UB lead to 21-13 with 2:30 left in the half. However, with the way the Buffalo offense was humming, it was plenty of time to put more points on the board. The Bulls drove 68 yards on just four plays and Zordich found a streaking Neutz for a 16-yard score. Not content, the UB defense got the ball back for the offense and the Bulls drove 46 yards on just three plays to close the half with another touchdown. Zordich hooked up with Neutz again, this time from 22 yards out, to give the Bulls a 35-13 lead at the half. Neutz came up with his prettiest catch of the night for his third touchdown. The Grand Island native made an acrobatic catch over a defender and tip-toed down the sideline for a 34-yard score. After Morgan State scored to cut the lead to 42-20, Nuetz caught his fourth touchdown of the night. However, this one was a 28-yarder from redshirt freshman Joe Licata. It was the first career pass attempt from the highly-touted recruit from Williamsville South High School. Buffalo used its quickest scoring drive of the night for its next touchdown, driving 83 yards on just two plays. Oliver scampered 34 yards to start the drive and sophomore James Potts finished the job by galloping 49 yards for his first career touchdown. Morgan State scored a late touchdown to make the final score 56-34. Lost in the all the impressive offensive numbers, were some standout performances on the defensive side of the ball. The defense had 10 tackles for loss and six sacks. Mack, playing in his first game of the season, had eight tackles, 1.5 sacks and 3.5 tackles for loss. Jake Stockman and Witney Sherry tied for the team high in tackles with 10 apiece – career highs for both players. Steven Means tied a career high with nine tackles and added 1.5 sacks.

2013 Buffalo Bulls Football KENT STATE 23, BUFFALO 7
CONNECTICUT 24, BUFFALO 17
The University at Buffalo struggled to get its offense going and dropped a primetime matchup with division-foe Kent State, 23-7, at UB Stadium on Wednesday night.
The University at Buffalo football team had a final possession to try to tie the game late, but the rally fell short as the Bulls lost to Connecticut, 24-17, at Rentschler Field on Saturday afternoon.
Injuries to key players were a huge factor in the game as All-MAC running back Branden Oliver as well as starting defensive end Steven Means and starting wide receiver Fred Lee were lost for the game with first-half injuries.
For the first time in the Jeff Quinn era a running back other than Branden Oliver was in the starting lineup. Brandon Murie and Devin Campbell filled in admirably for the Doak Walker candidate. The duo combined for 164 yards of total offense and a pair of touchdowns against one of the nation’s top defenses. In fact, as a team, the Bulls outgained the Huskies in total offense, 361-360.

SEPT. 29, 2012 • RENTSCHLER FIELD • EAST HARTFORD, CT
After two games of producing eye-popping offensive numbers, the Bulls struggled to get their offense going all night. Buffalo was held to a season-low 267 yards of total offense. “It was a disappointed loss and very frustrating. I’m very aggravated,” head coach Jeff Quinn said. “I expected us to play a lot better, especially on the offensive side of the ball. Give Kent State credit, they came in here and won a football game.”
“Our football team today went on the road and played extremely hard against a good football team in Connecticut,” head coach Jeff Quinn said. “I really like the way our kids fought. They competed their tail ends off. I couldn’t be more proud of the football team in that locker room.”
Kent State (2-1, 1-0 MAC) struck first with a Dri Archer 11-yard run early in the second quarter to give the Golden Flashes a 7-0 lead. The touchdown was set up by a 57-yard run by the speedy Archer who finished with 127 yards on 14 carries.
Connecticut struck first on its opening possession with a 29-yard field goal to take a 3-0 lead with 10:10 left in the first quarter.
Kent State added a 23-yard field goal with 5:51 left in the half to take a 10-0 lead. Kent State looked in control and as if they would take that 10-point lead to the locker room until Buffalo’s final play of the half. Alex Zordich connected with Alex Neutz on a 46-yard Hail Mary pass, as time expired, to cut the Kent State lead to 10-7 at the break.
The Bulls responded with a 10-play, 75-yard drive capped off by a 4-yard touchdown run by Murie. The key play of the drive was a 4th-and-5 conversion at the UConn 34-yard line. Alex Zordich faked the end-around handoff to Murie and threw a screen pass to Campbell that the freshman was able to advance to the Huskies’ 4-yard-line. Murie punched it in on the very next play.
Buffalo stepped up its defensive effort in the second half and kept the score at 13-7 until the fourth quarter. The Bulls just couldn’t get anything going on offense. Having an injured Oliver on the sideline didn’t help. The junior running back rushed for 77 yards in the first half before exiting the game. Junior Brandon Murie and true freshman Devin Campbell filled in admirably. Murie had nine rushes for 37 yards, while Campbell rushed for 27 yards on five carries.
Thanks to some big plays, Connecticut would score the game’s next three touchdowns. A 36-yard TD reception early in the second quarter, followed by a 50-yard touchdown run just four minutes later gave the Huskies a 17-7 lead at the half. The Huskies scored on a 2-yard run to take a 24-7 lead with 5:03 left in the third quarter.
The Bulls’ defensive effort was led by Khalil Mack. The junior linebacker was the best defensive player on the field for either team. He finished with a career-high 12 tackles, four tackles for loss, two sacks and a pass breakup.
Buffalo reached into its bag of tricks for its second score. Zordich threw a quick strike to Neutz who then flipped the ball to Murie who raced down the sideline for a 50-yard touchdown. The Bulls headed to the fourth quarter trailing 24-14.
Mack now has 7.5 tackles for loss through two games and has moved into second place in school history with 42.5 career TFLs.
After the UB touchdown, the UB defense stepped up and forced punts on UConn’s next four possessions. Buffalo didn’t allow the Huskies to advance the ball more than 19 yards on any of the four possessions.

After forcing a 3-and-out, the Bulls regained possession on their own 20-yard line. They were able to advance it to their own 41-yard line before turning the ball over on downs. Coming into the game UConn was ranked fifth in the nation in total defense. However, the Bulls showed that they play some defense in Buffalo, too. UB had more sacks (3) and tackles for loss (8) on the afternoon than UConn (1 & 5). Lee Skinner had a career-high 13 tackles to lead the defensive effort. Khalil Mack continued to be a terror in the backfield as he had 3.5 more tackles for loss to bring his season total to an astounding 11 through three games. Zordich threw for 220 yards and a touchdown and ran for a team-best 76 yards. He extended his streak of throwing a touchdown pass to four games.

2013 Buffalo Bulls Football OHIO 38, BUFFALO 31
NORTHERN ILLINOIS 45, BUFFALO 3
The University at Buffalo football team rolled up over 500 yards of total offense at Peden Stadium on Saturday afternoon, but it wasn’t enough to hand the host Ohio Bobcats their first loss of the season as the Bulls lost to Ohio, 38-31. For the second straight week the Bulls were without star running back Branden Oliver, so freshman Devin Campbell filled in. Campbell made his first career start a memorable one, rushing for a career-high 160 yards to become just the second true freshman to rush for over 100 yards in the Bulls’ Division I-A era (since 1999). As a team, the Bulls rushed for a season-high 313 yards against an Ohio defense that came into the game allowing just 94 yards per game on the ground. Along with Campbell, Alex Zordich also had a standout day running the football. The junior signal caller ran 18 times for 108 yards, making him the first quarterback in UB’s Division I-A era to crack the century mark. Buffalo looked in command early as the Bulls scored on their first two possessions to take a quick 14-0 lead. UB took the opening possession 75 yards down the field using the strength of its run game. Nine of the 10 plays on the drive were runs, capped off by Campbell’s first career touchdown from three yards out. Najja Johnson picked off Ohio quarterback Tyler Tettleton on Ohio’s fist possession to give the ball back to Bulls at the Bobcats’ 7-yard line. Buffalo responded with a 14-play, 93-yard drive over the next 5:35 and when Zordich found Devon Hughes in the back of the end zone from 10-yards out, Buffalo led 14-0. The Bobcats struck right back the next time they touched the ball as Daz’ Patterson returned the ensuing kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown. In the second quarter, the Bulls snuffed a fake field goal attempt by Ohio inside of its own 15 yard line, but a fumble would give the home team the ball right back at the 14-yard line. Beau Blankenship converted on the very next play to square the score at 14 apiece. Turnovers were a huge problem for the Bulls in the first half as they had three second-quarter fumbles. The Bobcats capitalized by scoring two touchdowns off the turnovers and led 21-14 at the half. On Ohio’s first possession of the second half, it mustered a 45-yard field goal to put the lead at 10 points, but Buffalo would reach even deeper into its bag of tricks to score on the ensuing possession. After a 19-yard run by Campbell and an 8-yard run from Zordich, the Bulls went with the “Bo-Cat” formation with Alex Dennison filling in for Oliver. The tight end, who had earlier in the game punched through for a handful of first downs running, took to the air and found a wide open Alex Neutz for a 55-yard touchdown. The score brought the Bulls to within three, and after the UB defense held Ohio to just two yards on its next drive, Khalil Mack got a hand on the punt and gave the team solid field position that would lead to the game-tying field goal. Patrick Clarke remained perfect on the year after pushing through a 30-yard field goal that pulled the Bulls even at 24-24. But the Bobcats bounced back with an 11-play, 65-yard touchdown drive on their next possession to regain 31-24 lead early in the fourth quarter. Ohio struck again when Ryan Boykin raced to the end zone from 51 yards out and suddenly Ohio led, 38-24, with 5:56 remaining in the game. Buffalo gained possession with 1:49 left in the game and marched 77 yards on eight plays. The key play on the drive was a 32-yard completion from Zordich to Cordero Dixon that gave the Bulls the ball at the Ohio 3-yard line. Two plays later, Dennison punched it in from one yard out and suddenly the Bulls had life. However, trailing 38-31, with just eight seconds remaining, the Bulls were unable to recover the onside kick attempt and the Bobcats held on for the victory. “I told the team that they competed their tail ends off,” head coach Jeff Quinn said. “They are obviously disappointed, as I am. We fell short today. We ran out of time. But I couldn’t be more proud of our effort today.” The Bulls outgained the Bobcats 501-333 and ran 92 plays, surpassing its previous season high of 70. The team reached the 500 yard plateau for the eighth time since 1999, and the fourth time under head coach Jeff Quinn. Thanks to its efficient third down conversion, the Bulls also enjoyed over 11 extra minutes in time of possession, but Ohio’s short fields would be too much to overcome. Skinner led the defense with nine total tackles including the sack. Cortney Lester added five tackles and a pair of pass breakups. Tettleton’s 183 yards passing were the fewest all season for the Bobcat QB, and Johnson’s first-quarter interception was the first interception thrown by Tettleton this season. Blankenship was also held in check, rushing for only 86 yards on 24 carries, marking the first time all season that he failed to reach 100 in a game. Campbell and Zordich became the first UB tandem since 2008 to both go over 100 yards in a single game, when James Starks and Brandon Thermilus went for 100 each against UTEP. The Bulls surpassed 300 yards on the ground for the second time this season, just beating out the 306 yards against Morgan State. Originally a quarterback for the Bulls, Dennison was a unique threat as the Bo-Cat quarterback, rushing four times for 13 yards and a score and throwing the 55-yard touchdown to Neutz. Each of his four carries resulted in first downs. Redshirt-freshman quarterback Joe Licata saw some time in the fourth quarter and went 5-for-10 for 38 yards.
Playing their third road game in as many weeks, the University at Buffalo football team lost to the defending Mid-American Conference champion Northern Illinois Huskies, 45-3, at Huskie Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Northern Illinois (6-1, 3-0 MAC), the league’s top rushing team, rolled up 219 yards on the ground and four touchdowns on the afternoon. The Bulls had trouble stopping the Huskies top weapon, quarterback Jordan Lynch. NIU’s signal caller ran for 129 yards and two touchdowns and threw for 232 yards and two more scores. Northern Illinois’ defense really keyed on stopping the Bulls’ lethal run attack and held UB to a season-low 74 yards rushing. Devin Campbell who went off for 160 yards last week, was held to just 36 yards on 22 carries. Alex Zordich and Joe Licata combined to throw for 263 yards. Devon Hughes had a career-high nine catches for 105 yards. Alex Neutz added seven receptions for 81 yards. The Huskies took the opening kickoff and drove 75 yards on 13 plays for a touchdown to take a 7-0 lead just five minutes into the game. The Bulls responded by taking their first possession and driving 73 yards down the field. However, UB had to settle for a Patrick Clarke 28-yard field goal to make the score, 7-3, with 3:21 left in the first quarter. It was all Huskies after that as Northern Illinois put together three long scoring drives in the second quarter to take a 28-3 lead at the half. Northern Illinois didn’t let up at the start of the second half as Lynch found Martel Moore for a 43-yard touchdown the first time it touched the ball in the third quarter. Lynch later found Tommylee Lewis for a 28-yard touchdown late in the third quarter and the Huskies capped the scoring with a field goal late in the game. Khalil Mack led the UB defensive effort with 10 tackles, including 1.5 for loss. Lee Skinner added six tackles for the Bulls. Heading into the game, Buffalo was one of only three teams in the nation to have a 100 percent scoring rate in the red zone. However, three red zone turnovers on the afternoon added to UB’s frustrations.

2013 Buffalo Bulls Football PITTSBURGH 20, BUFFALO 6
TOLEDO 25, BUFFALO 20
Playing without a number of key starters, the University at Buffalo football team dropped a 20-6 decision to Pittsburgh at a soggy UB Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Even without running back Branden Oliver and leading receiver Alex Neutz, the Bulls outgained Pittsburgh in total offense and had nine more first downs.
The University at Buffalo football team came up just short in its bid to upset Toledo, falling to the Rockets, 25-20, at a rainy UB Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
OCT. 20, 2012 • UB STADIUM • BUFFALO, NY
OCT. 27, 2012 • UB STADIUM • BUFFALO, NY
Head Coach Jeff Quinn’s mantra has always been “Next Bull In” and that has never been tested more than this season as starter after starter has been lost to injury.
Buffalo had three offensive weapons back in its arsenal as Branden Oliver, Alex Neutz and Fred Lee were all back in the starting lineup. Playing in his first game since Sept. 19, Oliver finished with 101 yards on 24 carries. Neutz, who missed the last game with a chest injury, had six catches for 135 yards and a touchdown.
Freshman Devin Campbell rushed for a game-high 104 yards on 19 carries for his second 100-yard game in Oliver’s absence. He became the first true freshman in the Bulls’ Division I-A history to go over 100 yards in a game twice in a season.
Buffalo came out with a great defensive game plan to stop the high-octane offense of the Rockets. The Bulls held Toledo to just 115 yards of offense in the first half.
Without the services of Neutz, John Dunmore filled in admirably. The sophomore receiver had seven catches for 72 yards. Prior to last week’s game at Northern Illinois, the Syracuse native didn’t have a catch in his career.
Cortney Lester put the Bulls on the board first as he intercepted a pass and scampered 23 yards for a touchdown with 7:48 left in the first quarter.
Buffalo’s defense held quarterback Tino Sunseri, Pitt’s fourth all-time leading passer, to just 128 yards passing. It was by far his lowest output of the season. His previous low was 239 yards against Youngstown State.
Toledo answered back with a defensive touchdown of its own as Dan Molls returned a UB fumble 13 yards for a touchdown to tie the game.
The defense was led by Khalil Mack who tied a career high with 12 tackles. Derek Brim, filling in for injured starting safety Witney Sherry, had a career-high seven tackles (all solo) and added a tackle for loss).
Alex Zordich connected with Devin Campbell on a 42-yard touchdown pass with 7:06 left in the half to give the Bulls a 14-7 lead – a lead they would take into the locker room at halftime.
After being forced to punt on its first possession, Pittsburgh converted field goals the next two times it touched the ball to take a 6-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.
Toledo, the MAC’s third ranked scoring offense, got into gear in the second half, scoring on each of its first two second half possessions and rolling up 243 yards of total offense, including 146 yards on the ground, in the third quarter alone.
With the Bulls in Pittsburgh territory, early in the second quarter, the Panthers came up with a key turnover as Jason Hendricks picked off an Alex Zordich pass to end the UB threat. Pittsburgh was able to convert the turnover into a touchdown as nine plays later Rushel Shell found the end zone from four yards out.
Lockport native David Fluellen, who finished with a career-high 228 yards rushing, scored both of the Rockets’ early third quarter touchdowns. Steven Means blocked both extra points, but the Bulls were trailing, 19-14, with 8:11 left in the third quarter.
Trailing 13-0, the Bulls battled back late in the half. An 11-play, 55-yard drive resulted in a 27-yard Patrick Clarke field goal that cut the lead to 13-3 with 4:16 left in the second quarter.
An 84-yard drive by the Rockets was capped by a Terrance Owens to Alex Zmolik 7-yard touchdown pass and Toledo extended its lead to 25-14 late in the third quarter.
The defense stepped up and forced a Pittsburgh 3-and-out to regain possession with less than a minute left in the half. Buffalo capitalized as Clarke drilled a 41-yard field goal with just 12 seconds remaining in the second quarter to cut the Pitt advantage to 13-6 at the break.
With Joe Licata behind center, the Bulls mounted a 7-play, 73-yard drive, punctuated by an 8-yard touchdown pass from Licata to Neutz. Although the two-point conversion failed, the Bulls trailed just 25-20 with 14:48 left in the game.
Ray Graham scored on a 7-yard touchdown run with 6:29 left in the third quarter to put the Panthers ahead, 20-6. The Bulls put together some long drives, but just couldn’t put any more points on the board and lost by the 13-point margin. Zordich finished the day 23-of-41 for 165 yards through the air and added 79 yards rushing. His 23 completions and 41 attempts were both career highs. He spread the ball around to six different receivers. Devon Hughes had five catches, Campbell had four and Cordero Dixon had three grabs. Buffalo had 334 yards of total offense compared to 254 for Pittsburgh. “We had our opportunities and we had our chances, we didn’t capitalize in terms of scoring,” Quinn said. “We outgained them in total yards, but let’s face it, it’s about putting points on the board and we weren’t able to do that. We had our moments out there tonight. I was proud of the way our kids competed. There’s not a kid in that room that didn’t desire to win that football game tonight.” TEAM STATISTICS FIRST DOWNS NET YARDS RUSHING NET YARDS PASSING Completions-Attempts-Int TOTAL OFFENSE YARDS Fumbles: Number-Lost Penalties: Number-Yards Punt returns: Number-Yards-TD Kickoff returns: Number-Yds-TD Interceptions: Number-Yds-TD Third-Down Conversions Fourth-Down Conversions Red-Zone Scores-Chances Sacks By: Number-Yards

The Bulls had their chances, but couldn’t convert late in the game and the Rockets (8-1, 5-0 MAC) held on for their eighth straight win. In the starting lineup for the second straight week, safety Derek Brim led the Bulls in tackles with a career-high nine. Lee Skinner added eight tackles, including 1.5 for loss. Colby Way had two of the Bulls’ seven tackles for loss in the game. Adam Redden had his first career interception with a pick in the second quarter. It was Oliver’s 11th career 100-yard rushing game, moving him just two shy of the school record for 100-yard games, held by Anthony Swan (1994-97). Neutz’s eighth touchdown catch of the season moved him into eighth place in school history for a single season. Coming into the game, Toledo’s Bernard Reedy ranked in the top 20 in the nation in punt returns. However, the Bulls kept him in check, allowing just one return for negative six yards. Tyler Grassman had five punts downed inside the 20-yard line.

2013 Buffalo Bulls Football BUFFALO 27, MIAMI (OH) 24
BUFFALO 29, WESTERN MICHIGAN 24
Patrick Clarke drilled a 47-yard field goal as time expired to lift the University at Buffalo football team to a 27-24 win over Miami (OH) at UB Stadium on Saturday afternoon. It was a great win for a team that had been so close to victory many times this season.
With the help of five forced turnovers, the University at Buffalo football team won its second straight game, 29-24, over Western Michigan at UB Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Cortney Lester led the defensive effort with a career-high three interceptions – a Division I-A school record.
“I couldn’t be more proud of those guys in that locker room. They are a very resilient group, “ head coach Jeff Quinn said. “It’s a long overdue feeling for our program and it will go down in the history books as one of the best endings to a football game here at UB.”
“From all three phases, they fed off each other,” head coach Jeff Quinn. “We saw some great things from the offensive side, the defensive side and special teams. Overall it was just a tremendous team victory.”

While it was its defense that sealed the win, it was Buffalo’s offense that was rolling early. Making his second straight start at quarterback, Joe Licata went 21-for-33 for 285 yards and a touchdown in the game. He led to the Bulls on three scoring drives on their first eight possessions helping UB gain a 17-0 advantage.
Filling in for an injured Alex Zordich, Joe Licata made his first career start at quarterback on Saturday afternoon. The redshirtfreshman finished 13-of-24 for 127 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Most of the points were scored in the second half as Buffalo’s defense shined in the first half. The Bulls allowed the RedHawks only 83 yards of total offense. Miami struck first with a 29-yard field goal to take a 3-0 lead. Clarke answered with a 49-yarder to knot the game at 3 with 4:42 left in the second quarter. The 49-yard field goal tied Clarke’s career long. The game remained 3-3 at the half.
Branden Oliver put the Bulls on the board first with an 18-yard touchdown run to give the Bulls a 7-0 lead with 9:43 left in the first quarter. The junior running back was well on his way to another big day, but was forced to leave the game with an injury at the end of the first quarter. Oliver had 75 yards on 12 carries at the time of the injury. Devin Campbell stepped in and scored UB’s next touchdown on a 45-yard scamper – the longest run of his career to put the Bulls ahead, 14-0. Campbell finished with 107 yards for his third 100-yard game of the season. But he, too, was lost to an injury in the fourth quarter.
The second half turned into a shootout as the teams combined to score 45 combined points. The Bulls struck first when Branden Oliver plunged in from five yards out to put the Bulls up 10-3 with 9:49 left in the third quarter. Oliver had a big day for the Bulls as he rushed for 199 yards on 32 carries. It was his 12th career 100-yard rushing game – tying him with James Starks for second in school history.
Last week’s hero Patrick Clarke made a 30-yard field goal to put Buffalo ahead, 17-0, with 3:28 left in the half.
Miami answered right back as it marched 72 yards on nine plays and Zac Dysert connected with Nick Harwell on a 10-yard pass to tie the game at 10.
Western Michigan rallied to score two touchdowns late in the half to cut the UB advantage to 17-14 at the break. The Broncos took the opening kickoff of the second half and marched right down the field and scored another touchdown to take their first lead of the game, 21-17.
On the ensuing possession, Licata found Neutz on a crossing pattern and the junior receiver sprinted 43 yards for a touchdown to give the lead right back to the Bulls, 17-10, with 4:08 left in the third quarter.
Clarke made his second field goal of the day to cut the Western Michigan lead to 21-20 with 3:14 left in the third quarter. Lester’s second interception of the day came on the very first play of the Broncos’ next drive as the sophomore snatched the ball away and scampered 35 yards to the Western Michigan 25-yard line. Clarke gave the lead back to the Bulls when he drilled a 38-yard field goal late in the third quarter.
Miami again answered the call on its next possession and drove 75 yards on 13 plays. Dysert found Harwell again, this time from one yard out to the tie the game at 17. Licata threaded a perfect pass between two defenders to Fred Lee from 21 yards out to put the Bulls ahead, 24-17, with 5:36 left in the game. The key play of the drive occurred three plays earlier when the Bulls were lined up for a field goal. Tony Daniel scooped up a low snap and rolled to his right. He was able to complete a 10-yard pass to Alex Dennison who made an acrobatic catch for the first down.
Western Michigan retook a 24-23 lead with 13:26 left in the game on a 28-yard field goal by Andrew Handleman. Buffalo regained the lead for good on its next possession when Licata hooked up with Alex Neutz on a 30-yard touchdown down the sideline to give the Bulls the 29-24 lead. Neutz finished with nine catches for 140 yards and his 10th touchdown of the season.
Miami was able to drive 65 yards on its last possession, converting a pair of fourth downs along the way. When Dysert completed a 5-yard touchdown pass to Harwell the game was tied with 23 seconds left.
After that it was up to the defense to make plays, and boy did they. Senior Willie Moseley, playing in the final home game of his career, made his first career interception on Western Michigan’s next possession to give the ball back to UB.
Freshman Devin Campbell came up big on the ensuing kickoff as he took the return a career-best 47 yards to the Miami 35yard line. After Oliver scampered for five yards, the stage was set for Clarke. The freshman kicker drilled the 47-yarder through the uprights to give the Bulls their first ever last second regulation win via a field goal in their Division I-A era.
After a defensive stand by the Broncos, Western Michigan drove the ball down to the Buffalo 24-yard line. Jake Stockman rushed off the edge and blindsided Western Michigan quarterback Alex Carder, forcing a fumble. Colby Way pounced on the ball for the Bulls.
“I was ready to go, I was just ready to get my chance at the game winner,” Clarke said of the game-winning kick. “My team had faith in me. I knew if I had the chance, I would come through for the team. As soon as I kicked it, I knew it was good.”
The Broncos had one last shot, regaining possession of the ball at their own 10-yard line with 1:23 remaining. Lester saved his biggest interception for last as he picked off Carder for the third time to seal the win for the Bulls.
Dysert, who passed Ben Roethlisberger as Miami’s all-time leading passer in the game, was held in check for much of the afternoon by an aggressive UB secondary. While Dysert did finish with 242 yards passing and three touchdowns, the Bulls defense had season-high eight pass breakups in the game – one more than their previous four games combined. Leading the way was redshirt-freshman Marqus Baker who had a career-best four pass breakups. Derek Brim, starting his third straight game, had another standout performance. The former walk-on had a career-high 10 tackles, a tackle for loss and a pass breakup.
“I have the game ball and I told them if I could cut this into 105 pieces I would,” Quinn said. “But we’re going to sign this one and let them know that this was a real signature win to cross over to the West Division and beat a Western Michigan team that played in a bowl game last year.” It was Buffalo’s first ever win over Western Michigan after falling to the Broncos in the previous five meetings.
The Bulls were relentless with the pressure all day, totaling seven tackles for loss. Steven Means had two tackles for loss, including a sack. Lee Skinner had 1.5 sacks and Colby Way joined in on a sack as well.

2013 Buffalo Bulls Football BUFFALO 29, MASSACHUSETTS 19
BOWLING GREEN 21, BUFFALO 7
The University at Buffalo football team rallied from a 13-0 halftime deficit to beat Massachusetts, 29-19, at Gillette Stadium on Saturday afternoon. It was the Bulls’ third straight win and first road win since the 2010 season.
Facing a stout Bowling Green defense, the University at Buffalo football team dropped its season finale to the Falcons, 21-7, at Columbus Crew Stadium on Friday afternoon. The MAC’s top defense held the Bulls to a season-low 197 yards of total offense, including just 29 yards rushing.
NOV. 17, 2012 • GILLETTE STADIUM • FOXBOROUGH, MA
NOV. 23, 2012 • COLUMBUS CREW STADIUM • COLUMBUS, OH
“To be able to win this game on the road says a lot about the character of these kids,” head coach Jeff Quinn said. “It was a great team win and that’s what it’s all about. I know our kids are excited about getting three wins in a row. It’s been a long time since we have been able to do that.” The Bulls have won three straight games for the first time since 2008 and the just the second time in their Division I-A era (since 1999). Buffalo (4-7, 3-4 MAC) played without running backs Branden Oliver and Devin Campbell and early on the UB offense looked to struggle because of it. The Bulls compiled just x yards of offense in the first half and lost the field position battle throughout the first 30 minutes. However, the Bulls’ defense kept UMass from building a larger first half lead. It took a special teams play to spark the Bulls early in the third quarter. Adam Redden came off the edge to block the UMass punt and Kyndal Minniefield scooped up the ball and scampered 33 yards for a touchdown. Because the ball crossed the line of scrimmage, it was considered a punt return, marking the first time since Aug. 29, 2002 a UB player returned a punt for a touchdown. The 10-year drought was the longest in the nation. UMass answered by scoring a touchdown on its next drive. However, the Minutemen botched the extra point, making the score 19-7 with 6:49 left in the third quarter. The UB offense caught fire after that and it was all Bulls from there on out. Joe Licata found Jimmy Gordon from three yards out to cut the UMass lead to 19-14 with 2:13 left in the third quarter. The key play on the drive was a Licata to Fred Lee hook up for 34 yards on 3rd and 16. After forcing a UMass three and out, Buffalo got the ball back and methodically drove 77 yards on nine plays to take its first lead of the game. Rolling to his right, Licata threw across his body to Alex Neutz for a 6-yard touchdown. Again it was a Licata to Lee connection, this time for 44 yards, that keyed the scoring drive. Brandon Murie put the exclamation point on the win with a 12-yard touchdown run with two minutes left to put UB ahead, 29-19. The UMass offensive line was no match for a relentless UB defense pursuit late in the game. Buffalo sacked UMass quarterback Mike Wegzyn five times on the Minutemens’ last two drives. Khalil Mack may have had the best game of his career. The All-MAC linebacker had a career-high 15 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and two forced fumbles. He broke the school record for tackles for loss in a career with 53.5. The previous record of 50.5 was held by Vince Canosa (1992-95). Steven Means also had a career day with nine tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss and a career-high three sacks. Colby Way added a career-high nine tackles and 1.5 sacks. As a team, the Bulls registered a season-high eight sacks in the game. With Oliver and Campbell out, the Bulls turned to Murie and seldom-used Rashad Jean to fill to role of running back. Murie finished with a career-best 90 yards on 14 carries and a touchdown. Jean was an even bigger surprise. A former defensive tackle, converted to fullback last season, Jean didn’t have a carry in his career. He finished with 73 yards on 17 carries. Licata won his third straight start since being named the starting quarterback. The redshirt-freshman signal caller went 18-for-30 for 226 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. The UB secondary had another solid day with a pair of interceptions and four pass breakups. Okoye Houston and Najja Johnson each notched an interception. With 168 yards rushing in the game, Buffalo improved its season total to 2,091 - a UB Division I-A single season record. It is just the sixth time in program history the Bulls have rushed for 2,000 yards in a season.

Despite the offensive struggles, the UB defense kept the Bulls in the game all afternoon. The Bulls allowed just 82 yards on the ground and recorded three interceptions in the game. Najja Johnson had a pair of interceptions in the game. Lee Skinner tied a career high with 13 tackles. Khalil Mack had 10 tackles and 2.5 for loss. In the final game of his career, Steven Means had nine tackles, including 2.5 for loss. The game got off to a great start for Buffalo as Johnson came up with an interception on the game’s first play. On Bowling Green’s second possession, Adam Redden blocked his second punt in as many games and UB recovered at the Buffalo 48. However, the Bulls couldn’t capitalize either time and the game was scoreless after the first quarter. The game remained scoreless until Bowling Green scored two touchdowns late in the first half. The Falcons first scored on a one-yard run with 5:26 left in the half. BG quarterback Matt Schilz found Shaun Johnson for 48-yard touchdown with 1:56 left in the second quarter and the Falcons led, 14-0, at the half. After Bowling Green scored another touchdown with 2:27 left in the third quarter, the Bulls rallied in the fourth quarter. Colby Way picked off Schilz for his first career interception early in the final quarter. Two plays later, Alex Dennison punched it in from four yards out to cut the Bowling Green lead to 21-7 with 9:59 left in the game. The Bulls regained possession with 5:09 left and drove it all the way down to the Bowling Green 9-yard line. But Buffalo turned it over on downs, ending any comeback threat. Alex Neutz had nine catches for 92 yards in the game to bring his season-total to 1,015 yards. He joins Naaman Roosevelt and Drew Haddad as just the third player in school history to record 1,000 receiving yards in a single season. For the first time this season, the Bulls had difficulty running the football. Buffalo had the services of Branden Oliver and Devin Campbell although neither was 100 percent. Oliver had nine carries for 20 yards and Campbell finished with 26 yards on six carries. Joe Licata finished 13-of-30 for 168 yards. However, the redshirt-freshman signal caller was sacked seven times. Friday was the final game for 12 UB seniors.

2013 Buffalo Bulls Football The year was 1894. Fourteen University at Buffalo medical students got together, bought uniforms and practiced after classes, splitting time at Brown’s Riding Academy on East North Street and John’s Riding Academy on East Utica. After honing their skills carefully, avoiding remnants of horses that grazed their practice pastures, they put on their blue jerseys, tight pants, and leather boots and stepped onto a baseball field on East Ferry Street to face Hobart College. As they kicked off to the visitors, no one among those first UB football players could have foreseen the journey they were embarking upon. They were not merely kicking a football, they were kicking off UB’s quest for intercollegiate competition. UB’s football program began modestly when the University, then a private institution consisting of schools of dentistry, law, medicine and pharmacy, formed an athletic association. The athletic association in turn started the first football program. That first team was led by captain A. B. Stein who was joined by founding members J.B. Crofts, Irving Johnson, William Potter, Gray McCuthcheon, St. John Green and “Dinky” Johnson. During the first three years of its existence, the football team played squads from the University of Rochester and Hobart College and experienced little success, compiling a record of 0-2-4. Most importantly however, the team gained recognition from UB during this period when the University granted the team usage of an on-campus field for its home games. UB football savored its first taste of success in 1897 when the team compiled a 7-0 record under manager E.J. Meyer and coach C.W. Dibble. Crowds began to flock to UB’s home games, and in response the university moved many of the team’s more popular contests to Civic Stadium in 1900. The UB football bandwagon really gained momentum when the team played in an exhibition match at the 1901 Pan-American Exposition. UB played in front of a Chinese representative who “...did not understand much about the game, was delighted to see the sport.” This high point was short-lived however, as UB was dealt a crushing 128-0 defeat by national powerhouse University of Michigan in what remains the worst defeat ever suffered by a UB squad. That loss seemingly was symbolic of the hard times to come as poor support and organization for the following two seasons forced UB’s athletic association to cease football operations after the 1903 season. Frank M. Pleasant awoke the hibernating UB football program in 1915 when he revitalized the program as the team’s first full-time, professional head coach. UB adopted the Bison as its mascot that year and proceeded to a 3-3 record. Art Powell took over the reins of the program in 1916, helping UB to improve with each season. UB football hit a peak in 1918 when the squad compiled a 3-1 record. The Bisons also enjoyed their most lopsided victory to date during the ’18 campaign, an 81-0 defeat of Hobart. The 1923 season brought many changes to UB’s football program. James Batterson took over as head coach and the Bisons played their first game at Rotary Field, dedicated by the Rotary Club of Buffalo. Dr. James Ailinger, a
standout basketball player for UB and a member of the 1922 football team, recalled UB’s humble facilities on opening day at Rotary Field. “The first season we played here we had to dress up in Hayes Hall and run to the field,” said Ailinger. “In between there was a farm, so we had to run through potato and vegetable fields to reach the stadium. Only the end zone was marked. There were stones everywhere and the end zone on the side near the present medical school was six feet higher than the other side. Winning the toss was important because we could choose to play uphill or downhill.” UB struggled the first season in its new home, compiling a 1-5 record. The six seasons that followed under head coaches James Bond (1923) and Russell Carrick (1924-28) were rather bleak as well. The Bisons did not have a winningseason over that period, tallying a record of 7-36-3. By 1929 it was quite evident that UB’s football program desperately needed resuscitation once again. The man to jump start UB was head coach Jay “Biffy” Lee, former roommate at Notre Dame of legendary coach Knute Rockne. Some of Rockne’s majestical motivation must have rubbed off as Lee led UB to a 5-2 record in what would be the Bisons only winning campaign in 16 seasons. Lee upgraded UB’s schedule during the following two seasons and the Bisons’ record suffered once again as they fell to squads from Fordham, Carnegie Tech, Dartmouth and the Notre Dame B team. I n 1931, the team changed its mascot to the Bull in order to distinguish UB from the professional teams in the Queen City. Jim Peelle was hired as the 12th head coach in Bulls’ history in 1936 with the burden of ending six consecutive losing campaigns. Peelle rejuvenated the program by notching five victories against three losses in his inaugural season. That success was short-lived however, as UB failed to post another winning season until 1942 when Peelle’s squad went 6-2 once again with impressive victories over Hobart, St. Lawrence and Johns Hopkins. UB heeded the call of its nation after the 1942 season by suspending all intercollegiate athletics due to the country’s involvement in World War II. The Bulls returned to the field in 1946 and staged their second consecutive winning season for the first time since 1899. Civic Stadium became the home site for all UB home games in 1946, a relationship which lasted until 1954. Frank Clair was hand-picked by Peelle to be his replacement in 1948. Clair extended UB’s consecutive winning seasons mark to five during his two-year stint. The highlight of Clair’s tenure was a 48-13 victory over the heavily-favored Louisville Cardinals. The Canadian Football League lured Clair away in 1950 and UB Athletic Director Jim Peelle brought back a familiar face to lead the Bulls, former head coach James Wilson. Despite severe cutbacks in the football program’s budget and mediocre seasons, the Bulls drew 26,126 fans to Civic Stadium, setting a single-game attendance record, in a 47-13 loss to Colgate. In 1955, Clifford C. Furnas was named Chancellor of the University and instituted a five-year plan aimed at upgrading UB’s athletic programs. Richard

2013 Buffalo Bulls Football “Dick” Offenhamer was tabbed to lead the Bulls back to respectability and did so by posting a 4-4-1 record in his initial season. Fran Woidzik, a standout on the 1955 squad, went on to become the first Bull to be taken in the National Football League draft. Offenhamer’s first season was a prelude of good things to come for the Bulls, as he would end his career with UB’s best career winning percentage. The year 1958 will forever be remembered as one of the greatest seasons in UB football history. On the strength of an 8-1 record that included victories over Harvard and Columbia, UB claimed the prestigious Lambert Cup, emblematic of Eastern small college supremacy. Team captains Nick Bottini and Lou Reale accepted the award on the Ed Sullivan Show on December 14 of that year before a national audience. The Bulls also earned an invitation to the Tangerine Bowl in Orlando, Florida but declined the offer to protest the discriminatory policies of the bowl’s stadium, which refused to allow black athletes to compete on its field. After posting an 8-1 record and finishing second in the Lambert Cup competition to Delaware in 1959, UB moved up to University Division status in 1960. UB football made great strides in the early 1960s with stars like quarterback John “Long John” Stofa and defensive tackle Gerry Philbin. Stofa rewrote UB’s passing records during his career while Philbin was named to the All-East team and played in the North-South and Coaches All-American post-season games. Both Stofa and Philbin would go on to play in the NFL following their UB careers. UB reached another pinnacle in 1962, being recognized as “major” by the NCAA. UB also received attention in 1964 when its contest at Boston University was televised to a national audience. Doc Urich handled UB’s coaching duties for the 1966-68 seasons after Offenhamer stepped down. Urich guided UB to its finest season at the “major” level with a 7-3 record, losing only to Iowa State, Boston College and Villanova. Bob Deming took over as head coach for the 1969 and ’70 seasons and led the Bulls to wins over Boston College and Villanova in 1969. In 1970, ABCTV regionally televised a 16-0 UB victory over Holy Cross at Rotary Field in the only game in UB history to be broadcast from Buffalo by a major network. The black day in UB football history came in January of 1971 when due to expenses and the political climate on campus, football was dropped as a varsity sport. In the fall of 1977, with the support of students, alumni and administration, UB restarted its football program with head coach Bill Dando at the reins. UB played four games in that first season, playing RIT to a 7-7 tie in its very first game back, the last tie in UB school history. The Bulls built back to respectability quickly and did not have a losing season from 1980-1984, posting a 30-21 record. In 1985, UB moved to the greener pastures of the Amherst Campus and the 4,000-seat UB Stadium. The Bulls defeated Villanova, 29-27, in Philadelphia in 1986 and once again talk of a possible upgrade of UB’s program was alive. New University President Steven Sample appealed to the Intercollegiate Athletics Board (IAB) in 1985 to upgrade UB to Division I-AA status. The IAB granted that request and after approval by the SUNY system in February of 1986, the “Run to Division I” had begun. Former UB great Sam Sanders was hired in 1990 to replace Bill Dando and lead the Bulls from Division III and into the spotlight of Division I. After two rebuilding years under Sanders, the program took a hard hit when the head coach was forced to step down for medical reasons. Jim Ward, UB’s offensive coordinator under Sanders, became the 20th head coach of the University at Buffalo’s football program in 1992. Under the direction of Athletic Director Nelson E. Townsend with the strong support of University President William R. Greiner, UB completed its “Run to Division I” on September 4, 1993, playing its first game at the Division I level in more than 20 years against the University of Maine. UB unveiled its $22 million, 16,500-seat UB Stadium on the Amherst Campus, site of the 1993
World University Games. In front of 14,179 fans, the Bulls put on quite a show, taking the lead with 51 seconds remaining in the contest. Maine spoiled UB’s return, however, scoring a last-second touchdown to earn a 31-27 win. In January of 1995, the Bulls came full circle when they hired UB alum Craig Cirbus (’80), who had spent the previous 11 years as an assistant under legendary coach Joe Paterno at Penn State. A few months later, the Bulls wowed Western New York when they announced that they would be heading to Division I-A and the Mid-American Conference in 1999. The 1996 season will go down as one of the finest in school history. The Bulls finished 8-3 on the season, earning the first Top 25 ranking in school history and earning Cirbus I-AA Independent National Coach of theYear honors. In addition, three Bulls (Ed Ellis, Craig Guest and Gerald Carlson) signed NFL contracts with Ellis being picked in the 4th round by the New England Patriots. In 1999, UB rejoined the ranks of major college football with its entrance into the Mid-American Conference. The Bulls were back in the big-time for the first time in nearly 30 years. The Bulls earned their first Division I-A victory in 30 years on September 23, 2000 when they nipped Bowling Green, 20-17, at UB Stadium. Buffalo would go on to defeat Kent State and finish 2-4 in the MAC East in 2000. On November 30, 2000 Athletic Director Bob Arkeilpane announced the hiring of Jim Hofher as the 22nd head football coach in UB history. Hofher brought with him to Buffalo 22 years of Division I coaching experience, including stints as an assistant at Tennessee, Syracuse and North Carolina and eight years as head coach at Cornell University. On December 16, 2005 Athletic Director Warde Manuel announced that Turner Gill, who was part of three national championships as a coach at the University of Nebraska and a Heisman Trophy finalist as a player, agreed to a five-year contract to become the 23rd head football coach at the University at Buffalo. In his first season with the Bulls, UB scored 220 points, the most by a Buffalo team since moving to I-A.

2013 Buffalo Bulls Football
Buffalo had its most successful season since returning to the Division I-A ranks in 2007. The Bulls finished the year 5-7 overall and 5-3 in the Mid-American Conference for a share of the East Division regular season title. Turner Gill was named MAC Coach of the Year and a UB record eight players were named to the All-Conference Team. Junior quarterback Drew Willy completed a school-record 258 passes and had the highest pass efficiency rating in school history and sophomore running back James Starks became the Bulls’ first 1,000-yard rusher in the I-A era with 1,103 yards. On December 5, 2008 the Bulls defeated 12th-ranked and undefeated Ball State to win the MAC Championship for the first time in school history. The Bulls had an 8-6 record in 2008. The eight wins were the most in the Bulls’ Division I-A era and one shy of the school record for wins in a season. The 2008 season featured one of the most explosive offenses in school history. Gill, who handled the play calling, commanded an offense that scored a school-record 424 points. Quarterback Drew Willy threw for a school-record 3,304 yards and 25 touchdowns, running back James Starks ran for a school-record 1,333 yards and 16 touchdowns and wideout Naaman Roosevelt established school records of 104 receptions, 1,402 yards and 13 touchdowns. The Bulls played in their first ever bowl game when they faced off against Connecticut in the 2009 International Bowl. The Bulls finished 2009 season 5-7 and featured an offense that averaged 405 yards per game - the highest average in UB’s Division I-A era. Numerous Bulls wrapped up record-breaking careers. Although he missed the entire season with a shoulder injury, Starks finished his career as the school record holder for rushing (3,140 yards) and rushing touchdowns (34). He was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the sixth round of the NFL Draft. Naaman Roosevelt set the school record for receptions (268) and receiving yards (3,551) and signed with the Buffalo Bills. Jeff Quinn was hired as Buffalo’s 24th head coach on December 22, 2010.
Quinn has produced record-breaking offenses throughout his 27-year college coaching tenure and has won conference and national championships at his last three stops, including five conference crowns in the past eight seasons. He most recently spent three seasons as the offensive coordinator at Cincinnati. In 2010, Davonte Shannon broke the school record for career tackles with 461 enroute to being named to the All-MAC First Team for the fourth straight year. He became just the fourth player in the history of the Mid-American Conference to earn that distinction. Cornerback Josh Thomas was selected in the fifth round (143rd pick) of the NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys. in 2011, Branden Oliver rushed for a school-record 1,395 yards and added 13 touchdowns en route to earning first-team All-MAC honors. Chazz Anderson transfered from Cincinnati to play his final season at Buffalo. The UB signal caller threw for 2,454 yards and 11 touchdowns on the year. He set a single-game school record with 35 completions against Northern Illinois (10/22). Khalil Mack ranked third in the nation in tackles for loss with 20.5. The Bulls had a strong finish to the 2012 campaign by winning three of the final four games. Using a plethora of running backs, the Bulls rushed for 2,120 yards - the third highest total in school history. Khalil Mack was named All-MAC First Team for the second straight year in a season in which he set the school record for career tackles for loss (56) and forced fumbles (11).

2013 Buffalo Bulls Football a different time in a different world
Looking back at one of the most influential football teams in University history 50 years later By Alex Rubin and Stephen Marth
“Picture Buffalo as it is today…and then forget about all of the suburbs - they weren’t there. The nightlife downtown, you had a big nightclub called the Town Casino, you had all of these theaters downtown, it was just so different than what exists today that you can’t even imagine.” Stanley Kowalski, left guard for the 1958 Bulls football team, said the above reminiscing about his memories of the city of Buffalo. While this image of Buffalo remains dear to him, another issue clouds his memories – the scandal of the 1958 Tangerine Bowl. The 1958 football season at the University at Buffalo was one of extreme highs and even more extreme lows; marked by an appearance on the Ed Sullivan show after an 8-1 season, sullied by racism and segregation. After finishing the season as the Lambert Cup champions, Buffalo was invited to play in the Tangerine Bowl in Orlando, FL. However, after accepting the invitation, University Chancellor Clifford Furnas, along with the entire team, made the decision to not play in the game; they learned that their two black players, Willie Evans and Mike Wilson, would not be allowed to play as per the request of the hosting school district. In a statement made about his decision, Furnas said, “They are two of our finest young men, and have greatly contributed to our fine showing this season. The possibility of discrimination against any member of the team prevents our appearance at the game.” Being a member of the football team made Evans, the star running back for the team, a hot commodity around campus. The fact that he was one of very few minorities on campus made it tough for him at times. “It was subtle. I didn’t have the luxury of cutting class, because having made a little name for myself in athletics, professors knew who I was. Not to mention, I was usually the only black person in the class,” Evans said. One reason Kowalski believes there was not blatant racism within the team was that several players grew up without having relationships with minorities. Since there was no history of racism in their background, Kowalski believes it allowed the players to come in with open minds towards both Wilson and Evans. “I grew up in a small mill town in Pennsylvania… we didn’t have any blacks living there, so you didn’t have prejudice built up ingrained in your head by your parents or your uncles,” Kowalski said. In the first game of the season, the Bulls were to face Harvard, one of the most respected teams in the nation at the time. Evans remembers this win being the first sign that the team could do something special. “If you went back the year before, we were 5-4. I can remember vividly our coach saying before our last game versus Temple, he wanted us to win our last game so we could go in to the next season with a win, when we played Harvard,” Evans said.
“[Beating Harvard] got us off to a good start – it was a different feeling. We had no notion of winning the Lambert Cup, we didn’t even know about it. We just wanted to win football games.” According to Kowalski, the Bulls were in a unique position due to the fact that they were the only team in or near Buffalo. This gathered media attention. “Most of the teams that played football after the Second World War had already dropped it,” Kowalski said. “We were the only game in town and the papers started to give us all kinds of press, which was kind
changed so dramatically…we couldn’t compare to the teams that are put on the field today, but at that time, we were a very respectable team.” In the final game of the regular season, the Bulls defeated Bucknell 38-0 to earn their first Lambert Cup. This game was especially important for Kowalski, who played in front of friends, family and his old high school football coach. Kowalski did not disappoint, returning an interception for a touchdown en route to Buffalo’s victory. After the victory, Buffalo’s co-captains

The possibility of discrimination against any member of the team prevents our appearance at the game.” of unique.” Nicholas Bottini and Louis Reale appeared on “It was a big deal for Buffalo at the time,” Evans the Ed Sullivan show to accept the Lambert Cup, concurred. “Blacks weren’t included in the paper at a trophy for the top team of the “Eastern Small all for any reason, yet we were on the front page. Colleges.” When we were coming back from Harvard, the pilot told us that there were a couple thousand students waiting for us at the airport. It was great support.” It was not a coincidence that the Bulls were peaking in 1958; the senior class was the first class to play all four years on scholarship, meaning the team was as cohesive as ever and also had as much talent as possible. While Kowalski understands that football has changed immensely in the past 50 years, he is proud of the accomplishments the team made, and how they stuck together in the face of adversity that followed the end of the regular season. “We stand very high, simply because of the celebrity that was given to us, that opportunity that we had to make a mark…we were the first team to go into the UB Hall of Fame,” Kowalski said. “Obviously the whole Willie Evans averaged 7.6 yards per carry for 530 yards in 1958 game of football has

2013 Buffalo Bulls Football Along with the victory came an invite to the Tangerine Bowl. When news broke about the Bulls being invited to their first bowl game, the team was skeptical, as it would have meant missing a week of classes and work. Several players on the team were married and needed to continue to work to support their family. After much debate however, the team decided to accept the invite. The decision was quickly changed when Buffalo was informed that if the team was to play, they would have to do so without Evans or Wilson, who were both black. “Our initial feelings were good. We never even thought about playing in a bowl game. The issue of race didn’t even come up in the beginning,” Evans said. “The only thing I recall is the first meeting we had where we decided we wanted to go as a team. I found out (about the racism issue) as I walked out of the house after Thanksgiving, and a neighbor said to me ‘I guess they don’t want you black boys down there…’ I got the newspaper and there was my picture on the front page of the Courier Express with Mike Wilson, outlining the position Chancellor Furnas took on the issue, where if myself and Mike couldn’t play, UB would not take part in the contest.” The field that had been rented for the game belonged to an Orlando school district that had a strict rule that blacks and whites could not play on the field at the same time, the team discovered. In response, the Bulls held a second meeting where they decided not to play in the game if Evans and Wilson would not be allowed to play. While the Elks Club, the sponsor of the game, offered to find another field, Chancellor Furnas was the man charged with making the ultimate decision. “Chancellor Furnas was a prominent individual… his credentials were impeccable,” Kowalski said. “He was a physicist. He was an Olympic sprinter. He was the assistant secretary of defense for research and development in the Eisenhower administration… there wasn’t anybody capable of criticizing him. The way he put it was he would not demean any
of his players, or even present an opportunity for anyone to be uncomfortable in the Florida setting.” As the image of Buffalo’s first bowl came and went, Evans carried the experience of racism with him after college. It followed him to the professional level, as he entered the American Football League. Evans had never visited any of the southern states. “I had a chip on my shoulder from the experience. It was a matter of letting it beat you down or not. I saw it as an opportunity to show my athleticism. I eventually was drafted by the Buffalo Bills, which was also an experience. It was my first time playing with white ball players from the South. There were players I never spoke to, and they never spoke to me, yet we were ‘teammates.’ That hardened my attitude about the idea of racism. Our coach was from the South, and I didn’t appreciate being called ‘boy.’ He called everybody ‘boy.’ I ended up getting released right before the season began, but I wasn’t too upset about it.” Since his playing days, Evans has remained active in the University community, holding several positions on the Alumni board and serving on the committees that brought both Athletic Director Warde Manuel and President Simpson to Buffalo. “One reason why I’m still with the university is the way things have come,” Evans said. “Diversity is something that has caught on with the campus. We’re not there yet, but it has improved significantly since I was here. There are expectations that exist now that were not around when I was a student.”
