The Buckeyes roared out to a 23-0 lead, scoring TD's on their first 3 possessions and looking every bit the #2 team in the country. The Buckeyes looked like they were en route to a 65-0 win, when things came unraveled in the second quarter.
A Buckeye fumble led to a Buffalo TD drive. On the next possession, Buffalo's Khalil Mack intercepts Braxton Miller and returns for a 53-yard touchdown. After Buffalo went for 2 and didn't get it, the score was a closer than expected 23-13.
The next possession for Buffalo resulted in an INT for OS. When the Bucks got the ball back, they scored easily with a 37 yard TD run, 1 play drive, from Jordan Hall.
Ryan Shazier rolled his ankle and was carted off.
Braxton Miller was 13-18 for 172 yards, 2 Td and 1 INT and added 11 yards rushing.
Jordan Hall looked terrific running with 12 carries for 126 yards and 2 TD in the first half.
Junior Devin Smith led the WR crew with 2 catches for 56 yards, including a 47 yard TD catch from Braxton Miller.
