BUFFALO, NY – Kyle Vantrease threw for a career-high 353 yards and four touchdowns to lead the University at Buffalo football team to a 42-10 win over Miami (OH) on Tuesday night. The junior quarterback led an offensive attack that rolled up 558 yards of total offense against the defending MAC champions.
It was a defensive struggle early on as neither team scored in the first quarter. The RedHawks defense blinked first as Kevin Marks ripped off a 30-yard run early in the second quarter that gave the Bulls a first down at the Miami 12-yard line. Jaret Patterson capped the drive with a 2-yard touchdown run to give UB a 7-0 lead.
Less than two minutes later, UB struck again when Vantrease hit Trevor Wilson in stride for a 78-yard touchdown pass to put the Bulls ahead 14-0. Wilson had the best game of his young career, finishing with 103 yards receiving and a score.
Miami scored late in the second quarter to cut the UB lead to 14-7 at the break.
The second half was all UB as the Bulls scored on each of their first four possessions of the second half to put the game on ice. Patterson started the scoring on a 1-yard touchdown run in to make the score 21-7.
The Bulls mounted a seven-play, 82-yard drive on their next possession and took a 28-7 lead when Vantrease connected with Zac Lefebvre on a 25-yard touchdown pass.
Jovany Ruiz caught his first career touchdown late in the third quarter on a 5-yard pass from Vantrease. Ruiz, seeing the most playing time of his career, finished the game with three catches for 27 yards.
Antonio Nunn capped the scoring with an 82-yard pass from Vantrease early in the fourth quarter. It was another standout performance for Nunn who finished with a career-high 137 receiving yards on five catches. It was the senior wide out's second straight 100-yard receiving game.
Vantrease finished the game 17-of-27 for 353 yards and four touchdowns. The junior signal-caller was a perfect 9-for-9 for 229 yards and three touchdowns in the second half alone.
Marks led the rushing attack with 109 yards on 16 carries. Patterson added 73 yards and two scores on the ground.
Defensively, the Bulls held Miami (OH) to 258 yards of total offense. Roy Baker had his first career interception in the game. Logic Hudgens and Malcolm Koonce led the Bulls with five tackles, apiece. Kadofi Wright had two tackles, a tackle for loss and two pass breakups in the game.
"Tonight we were able to create a lot of big plays in the passing game," head coach Lance Leipold said. "The job of our offensive line was outstanding. I thought Kyle played great in the second half. Kevin Marks was another guys that made a difference with his running, especially in the second quarter."
The Bulls improved to 2-0 with the win. They will next travel to Bowling Green next Tuesday night.
