All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Ohio vs Buffalo Game Preview


Why Ohio Will Win

At least the team has been more competitive.

It’s been a disastrous season considering the hope was for a MAC title run, but the Bobcats easily got by Akron on the road and pushed Central Michigan in a tough loss. The O ran all over the Zips and threw well against the Chippewas – it should be able to grind a bit on a UB D that gave up 200 rushing yards or more in four of the last five games.

Defensively, the secondary should be okay. Buffalo will get yards through the air, but it doesn’t do much down the field and it only has two touchdown passes since the opener against Wagner.

However …

Why Buffalo Will Win

Ohio is having a hard time against the run, and the deep group of UB backs should go off.

The Bobcats have the third-worst run defense in the country, giving up over 300 yards to Louisiana (fine) and Northwestern (not fine) and getting hammered by just about everyone else.

Akron is the only team that didn’t run all that well, coming up with 112 yards in a season-best day by the Bobcats.

UB just hit Kent State for over 300 yards and should be able to get to 200.

What’s Going To Happen

Both teams have been a stunning disappointment.

Buffalo losing to Nebraska and Coastal Carolina wasn’t a big deal, but starting 0-2 in the MAC with losses to Western Michigan and Kent State hurts.

It starts here with the offense running and running some more. The good Bull pass rush doing just enough against a good Ohio offensive front to own third downs.

Why Ohio Will Win

The Bobcats survived a fun offensive battle with Toledo, winning 87-80 despite struggling a bit from the free throw line and struggling a wee bit late. They were great on the boards, moved the ball around well, and never trailed.

It’s one of the best passing teams in the MAC and doesn’t turn it over enough to matter. What Ohio doesn’t do on a regular basis is win the rebounding battle, but if it can be great on the boards – especially the offensive glass – like it was against Toledo, it has a shot because …

Why Buffalo Will Win

Buffalo leads the nation in rebounding.

It’s a high-scoring team that’s great at defending the three, strong at moving the ball around for the extra shot, and outstanding on the move and making game high-scoring battles.

Ohio won the first game in late January 76-75 when the Bobcat offense came up with its best shooting game of the season, but that was an aberration. Buffalo won the at the end of February 86-66 when Ohio couldn’t hit anything from the outside and UB was on from the field, and …

What’s Going To Happen

The second game is more like the real Buffalo. The team got better as the year went on, scoring 80 or more on a regular basis while getting more and more out of the D.

Buffalo will win the rummier match by dominating on the boards – Ohio won’t own the offensive glass like it did against Toledo – and will clamp down defensively on the outside.
