But it was clear Buffalo outplayed the Cats today. They had more fire on offense and had crisper tackling on defense. They rose up and stopped us when the game was on the line. Give them credit for being better than 1-4 shows. Or maybe they were trying to get back at us like we wanted retribution on Kent last week. We had won two in a row from them, including the last trip to Buffalo.
Or maybe its that Jeff Quinn is starting to make some progress with his club. Oliver continues to play this way they'll end up finishing the year with 5-6 wins. This could be the turning point for a resurgent program up in Buffalo. They reminded me looking at them of the way Temple played in 2008 when they beat us in OT. Poised to turn the corner but not quite there yet.
Could be. Something that just struck me. I wasn't that impressed with Chaz Anderson at QB during the game. It seemed like he was dumping the ball out of bounds too often. But as it turns out, that may have saved them. If he had forced a few of those, the secondary might have picked some off. It didn't seem like he was panicking; he just shot them out of bounds. The poise of a senior, I guess.
