Once again UB came out flat footed and once again the 1st quarter deficit was a big factor in their loss. Three UB's first four drives went for less than 20 yards, and the other was a 41 yard drive which led to a missed fieldgoal. By the time UB got on the board the Bulls were already down 20-0.
Perhaps fittingly UB's scoring was started by the defense. Gus Ragland was strip sacked by Brandon Crawford. After the strip Crawford took the ball in from the nine yard line.
After the touchdown both offenses ground to a halt as the first half was finished by a trio of three and outs.
