Bulls Become Bowl Eligible with Homecoming Win over Akron

BUFFALO, NY – The University at Buffalo football team used its finest defensive effort of the season to defeat Akron, 24-6, at UB Stadium on Saturday afternoon in front of a homecoming crowd of nearly 20,000. It was the Bulls' sixth win of the season, making them bowl eligible for just the fourth time in program history.

Buffalo allowed only 235 yards of total offense, its lowest total allowed since allowing 223 yards against Colgate in last season's home opener. The Bulls held their opponent out of the endzone for the first time since the 2013 campaign.
