Bulls Fall to Kent State in Overtime, 30-27
11/26/2022 6:05:00 PM | Football
It was a very windy day at UB Stadium and the conditions effected both teams. Capitalizing on a strong tailwind, the Bulls were able to score twice in the third quarter to take a 24-10 lead.
Matt Myers, who saw his first playing time of the season was a big spark for the Bulls. The senior quarterback rushed for a career-high 110 yards and all three of UB's touchdowns in the game. He tied Buffalo's FBS record for rushing yards in a game by a quarterback, tying Alex Zordich who also rushed for 110 yards at Ohio in 2012.
However, with the help of the wind in the fourth quarter, Kent State was able to rally and score 14 points to tie the game at 24-24 with one minute left in regulation and send the game into overtime.
Buffalo scored first in OT on a 30-yard field goal by Alex McNulty, his second of the game. The Golden Flashes countered with a 7-yard touchdown pass for the walk-off win.
Linebacker Shaun Dolac had another stellar game for the Bulls, finishing with a game-high 14 tackles, nine of which were solo. He broke the single-season school record for solo tackles with 86, surpassing the previous record of 80 set by Craig Guest in 1996. Fellow linebacker James Patterson had 10 tackles, including 1.5 tackle for loss. He is now just one tackle shy of becoming just the fifth UB player to amass 400 career tackles.
Cole Snyder completed 20-of-28 passes for 165 yards in the game. Quian Williams had four catches for 63 yards and Mike Washington had four receptions for 23 yards to lead the receivers.
The Bulls will play their final home game of the regular season on Friday at 1 pm at UB Stadium.
