BUFFALO, NY – The University at Buffalo football team rallied from a 17-point fourth-quarter deficit to stun Toledo, 34-27, in a battle of the Mid-American Conference's first place teams at UB Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Bulls scored 24 points in the fourth quarter to win their fifth straight game and improve to a perfect 4-0 in the MAC.
The Bulls trailed 27-10 early in the fourth quarter. Quarterback Cole Snyder sparked the comeback with a five-yard touchdown run with 13:13 left to cut the lead to 27-17. UB got the ball right back, marched 80 yards down the field and cut the lead to three points on a 32-yard connection from Snyder to Jamari Gassett with 9:35 left.
An interception by safety Marcus Fuqua gave the ball right back to the Bulls and, four plays later, Ron Cook scampered in from 30 yards out to give UB its first lead of the game, 31-27, with 8:06 remaining.
Fuqua intercepted his third pass of the day with a little over three minutes left to give the ball back to the Bulls and set up an Alex McNulty 42-yard field goal with just 47 seconds left to extend the UB lead to 34-27.
On the Toledo's last drive of the game, Caleb Offord sealed the win with the Bulls' fourth interception of the game. All told, Buffalo forced six Toledo turnovers, including a 72-yard fumble return for a touchdown by Jahmin Muse.
Cook finished the day with a career-high 118 yards rushing and a touchdown and added three receptions for 40 yards. Snyder, who struggled in the first half, found his groove in the second half and finished with 245 passing yards and a TD.
Linebacker Shaun Dolac had another stellar game for the Bulls, finishing with 12 tackles, three tackles for loss and two pass breakups. Cornerback Isaiah King, who was wearing no. 41 in memory of Solomon Jackson, had a career-high 11 tackles and an incredible sequence where he forced and recovered a fumble in the third quarter.
It was a tale of two halves as the Bulls scored 27 points on 299 yards of offense in the second half, while holding Toledo to just seven points on 186 yards of offense in the second half.
Buffalo will next play at Ohio on November 1.
