The last time the Buffalo Bulls (0-1) played a team coached by PJ Fleck, they got shut out 38-0 on national television.
Fleck left the Mid-American Conference and is now in charge of a power five school, the Minnesota Golden Gophers (1-0) and things were very different Thursday night. With five minutes left in the game, the Bulls were within seven and looked like they were going to derail the PJ Fleck hype train.
The Golden Gophers had the ball on their own 34 and a long third down to convert. Sophomore quarterback Demry Croft dropped back and Buffalo was able to get to him but couldn’t get the tackle.
