Ohio travels to Buffalo Saturday in a battle of two teams coming off lopsided losses. 
The Bobcats trailed just 14-7 at intermission thanks, in part, to a defense that held Western Michigan to under 50 yards rushing. The Broncos, however, exploded for over 400 yards rushing in the second half to key a 49-14 victory. That kept WMU undefeated in conference play and handed Ohio (5-2, 2-1 MAC) its first MAC loss.

​Buffalo, meanwhile, will try to rebound on home turf after a decisive 51-14 loss at Central Michigan. UB scored an early touchdown to tie the game at 7-all. That turned out to be Buffalo’s only offensive score of the game. Andrews Dadeboe returned an interception 17 yards for a fourth quarter touchdown. 
​
Cooper Rush threw four touchdown passes and ran for another score to pace Central Michigan.
Here’s more on the two teams:
