UB looked like it was trying to climb Kilimanjaro while on Ambein, WMU looked like a team ready to play a game of consequence. It wasn’t exciting, but the game confirmed what both school’s seasons have been to this point.
UB started strong on defense, holding WMU scoreless for the game’s first 22 minutes. Down 14-0 just before the half, UB spoiled their best scoring opportunity with poor clock management. In the second half, it was clear that UB’s offense would not show up, and WMU finally broke the defense open for 24 second half points.
Buffalo, starting Grant Rohach for the first time since the season-opening loss to Albany, found more offensive success than usual, moving the ball for 5.
