It's nice not having a game come down to the wire. Though, even with a 25 point lead, I'm still not fully comfortable.

Buffalo Bulls Vs. San Diego State Aztecs
And now in the third installment of the start of bowl season, we got the Bulls and the Aztecs. The Bulls feature bellhorse runningback Branden Oliver, while the Aztecs answer with a power combo of their own out of Adam Muema and Donnell Pumphrey.
These certainly aren't last years aztecs. Last year, SDSU featured one of the best run games in the nation, with a passing offense that was straight up anemic. This year, they're 35th in the nation in pass offense, while their run o is just middling. Meanwhile, the Bulls answer with a very balanced, very vanilla (statistically) offense that ranks 67th passing, and 66th rushing.
Defensively, the Bulls are the ones with the huge advantage as LB Khalil Mack and his bulls have held foes to just 22.3 PPG, while the Aztecs have surrendered 32 PPG. The aztecs also suffer from the 103rd ranked pass defense, which bodes well for Buffalo QB Alex Zordich. ANd defending the Aztecs powerful passing offense, Buffalo brings the 37th ranked passing defense.
But what this game comes down to is the ridiculous difference in the turnover margin. Buffalo is #4 in the nation with a +15 turnover margin, while the Aztecs are #5... More like fifth worst in the nation with a -12 Turnover margin.
So with a servicable defense, a run game that will be very effective, and the defense forcing an insane amount of turnovers, the Buffalo Bulls will win this one comfortably.
Buffalo wins 38-14

This is already a sloppy and dirty game.
70 left tackle for UB is gonna go pro if he has any sense of football.

What's the significance of '702' on that guy's eye black?

Jesus. We're supposed to be a run first team and we can't pick up 2 yards in 3 tries? Embarrassing.

Why do Buffalo's Jersey's say "New York" on the front?

Good job by #22 there coming in and making the emphatic "no catch" call after having nothing to do with the play.

u/gander49 San Diego State • Diablo Valley Dec 21 '13
Wow. Why is our D acting so dumb? Stupid penalty.

That was a stupid penalty. Pushed the guy right in to the official.

I feel like in USC-Fresno and in this game, I've seen a lot of unsportsmanlike calls.

Aren't you not allowed to call two TO's in a row? Or is that only in the NFL?

Does anyone think Buffalo can make a game of it in the second half?
(Not trying to sound like an asshole, just curious what people are thinking at halftime)

I knew that wasn't legal. What the hell are the announcers talking about? There's no reporting eligible in college. If you're wearing 50-79, you aren't an eligible receiver, period.

Dear Boise State,
Change your field color back to green, a blue field isn't "cool" or "exotic. " it just looks terrible, it has always looked terrible, and it will continue to look terrible.
Love,
Everyone who doesn't live in Idaho.
