Tomorrow night is the night! Gopher football returns to TCF Bank Stadium in a Thursday night matchup with the Buffalo Bulls.
Are the Bulls elite? Not so much. Grab your oar and let’s take a closer look.
Offense: Not Elite.
In 2016, Buffalo ranked 126th in overall offense, 104th in rushing offense, and 123rd in passing offense, per S&P+. In addition to averaging a meager 16.5 points per game, the Bulls’ offense mustered more than 24 points in just one game all last season. Head coach Lance Leipold didn’t send offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki packing, but instead shifted him from quarterbacks coach to running backs coach and brought in former Mitch Leidner mentor Jim Zebrowski to work with the signal callers.
