Thursday night’s matchup against the Minnesota Golden Gophers marks the opening of the 105th season of Buffalo Bulls football, but it it will be a tall order for the Bulls to celebrate with a victory. On the road, halfway across the country, against a Big Ten opponent isn’t the easy layup that some of the Bulls’ conference brethren is launching into 2017 with. By almost any measure, 2016 was a disappointment for the Bulls, who are picked to finish fifth in the MAC East this season. A win against a marquee opponent would do wonders for Lance Leipold.
