There are five winless teams remaining in the FBS.

Buffalo could not lift that undesirable status from its name Saturday night in Louisiana, despite an inspiring second half of football. The Bulls turned a 31-7 third quarter deficit into 45-38 ballgame, but they were unable to fully catch up to the Ragin’ Cajuns.

Buffalo’s rampant comeback was fueled by five consecutive scoring possessions in a second half explosion. Running back Ron Cook Jr., punched in a pair of touchdowns in the late third quarter to rewrite the score from 31-7 to 31-21. But the Ragin’ Cajuns regained their footing in the early portions of the final stanza, roaring back with two touchdowns, including a 20-yard scamper by Jacob Kibodi to set Louisiana ahead by 21 with 7:40 to go.
