Buffalo will be making its first bowl game appearance since 2013 when the team goes head-to-head with Troy in the Dollar General Bowl on Saturday.
The Bulls (10–3) are coming off of their best season since joining Division I-A in 1999 and will be looking to redeem themselves after a disappointing 30–29 MAC title game loss to Northern Illinois. Quarterback Tyree Jackson was this year's MAC offensive player of the year, throwing for 27 touchdowns and 2,857 yards and adding another seven scores with his legs. The junior quarterback has struggled against stiff competition, however, and will be looking to overcome that hurdle against Troy's No.
