Buffalo’s “FCS game” of the year and home opener will come against one of the more dangerous FCS teams that few FBS fan bases really talk about.
UB first played Holy Cross in 1923, and played them nearly every year in the 1960’s, culminating with the program's last win in 1970, televised on ABC no less, before shuttering the football program for nearly a decade.
This will be the first meeting since that Buffalo reboot.
Holy Cross has made the FCS playoffs each of the past three seasons and Bob Chesney’s crew got into the quarter-finals last year where they gave #5 Villanova everything that they could handle.
