The Buffalo Bulls enjoyed a bounce-back 2022 in the second year of the Maurice Linguist era. A dreadful non-conference stretch was quickly followed by a 5-game win streak, which lifted Buffalo to the top of the MAC standings. While things turned south again in a winless November, the Bulls ended the season back on track with a Camellia Bowl victory over Georgia Southern. It was the program’s third-ever bowl victory and third in a four-year span.
Buffalo’s 7-6 campaign was fueled by an offense which ranked 64th in scoring at 28.5 points per game. Although the program had been renowned for an extreme lean toward the running game in the Lance Leipold era, we saw a more balanced version of Buffalo in 2022.
