Toledo vs. Buffalo Game Summary
In a battle of some of the top MAC teams in the conference, the Buffalo Bulls were able to control the game and lead wire-to-wire. Victor Snow, who finished with four catches for 27 yards, kicked off the scoring with a two-yard TD run.
C.J. Ogbonna was able to play a great brand of football with his legs. For the Rockets, they made a quarterback change in the second half as they replaced an injured Tucker Gleason with John Alan Richter and the offense began to come to life a bit more.
Toledo's two turnovers in the game could be viewed as the difference but the Rockets were not able to run the football at all, averaging just 1.8 yards per carry. For the Bulls, they need to play a more controlled game going forward as they committed eight penalties for 64 yards.
They are in the driver's seat for the rest of the season right now and need to clean up their play if they want to win the MAC. Below is the breakdown of how these teams scored.
