9/6/2025 8:23:00 PM | Football
Buffalo's defense held the Red Flash to just 11 yards rushing and 126 yards of total offense.
The Bulls did not attempt a punt in the game and scored on seven of their ten possessions.
While UB did much of its damage on the ground, the Bulls scored their first touchdown of the game through the air. Ta'Quan Roberson connected with Victor Snow for a 17-yard touchdown in the back corner of the endzone to open the scoring. The drive started on the Saint Francis 27-yard line thanks to a blocked punt by Connor Henderson.
Following a short field goal by Jack Howes, Al-Jay Henderson scored his first of two touchdowns on the day on a one-yard run to put the Bulls ahead, 17-0, after the first quarter.
Henderson scored on a 10-yard run, with five minutes to go in the half, to extend the UB lead to 24-0 at the break.
Roberson scored two rushing touchdowns in the third quarter, including a 40-yard dash to put UB up, 38-0.
The Bulls final score came courtesy of James McNeil, Jr. who rumbled in from 26 yards out for his first career touchdown.
Roberson threw for 133 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 88 yards and two scores to pace the offense. Henderson rushed for a game-high 98 yards and two touchdowns.
The defense was led by linebacker Red Murdock who had six tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss. Fellow linebacker Mitchell Gonser and edge Malin White each added five tackles and a TFL. Edge Kobe Stewart had two tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks and a fumble recovery.
The Bulls are back in action next Saturday when they travel to Kent State to open Mid-American Conference play.
