Nevada leads series, 2-0 
 
After dropping a decision to Albany in its opening game, the Buffalo Bulls might have preferred to get back into action quickly. The schedule, however, dictated otherwise, so UB got a bye for Week Two. The Bulls will finally hit the field again Saturday when they travel to Reno for a . . . 

. . . matchup against Nevada in Reno. The Wolfpack edged Cal Poly, 30-27, in overtime to start the campaign and followed that with a 39-10 loss at No. 18 Notre Dame last week.
 
NEVADA (1-1, 0-0 MWC)
 
► Notre Dame led 25-0 at the half and added a third quarter TD before Nevada finally got on the board with a field goal. Both teams scored once more after that, with Nevada tallying its only touchdown with 3:19 left in the game. 
► Nevada managed just 99 yards on the ground. James Butler provided 50 yards on 17 carries (2.9 ypc). Jaxson Kincaide scored the Wolfpack’s only TD. Butler is the team’s leading rusher overall (38/173 yards/2 TDs).
► QB Tyler Stewart completed 10 of 23 passes (43%) for 113 yards with one interception. He has completed 58.7 percent on the season, tossing two TDs and one pick.
► Butler has the most receptions with six for 47 yards. Andrew Celis leads in yardage, with three catches for 115 yards (long of 68).
► Nevada has two receiving touchdowns and three on ground.
► Brent Zuzo has converted 2 of 3 field goal attempts, with a long of 27 this year. The senior has a career long of 47 yards, which he posted in 2015.
► LB Alex Bertrando has 18 tackles, while DB Kendall Johnson owns seven hits and one interception.
 
BUFFALO  (0-1, 0-0 MAC)
 
► After enjoying the presence of Joe Licata for four seasons, Buffalo turns to freshman Tyree Jackson at quarterback this year. Jackson completed 14 of 25 passes for 125 yards with one TD and one interception in the opener.
► Jackson also contributed to the running game in his debut, picking up 60 yards on 10 carries.
► UB will try to improve on finishing drives. The  Bulls settled for field goals on drives of 12 plays, 9 plays  and 11 plays against Albany. Adam Mitcheson’s  three field goals included a long of 45 yards.
► Senior Jordan Jackson (6-1, 220) carried 23 times for 114 yards in the opener. The hometown product totaled 811 yards in 2015, when he tallied 12 TDs.
► Seven players recorded a catch against Albany. Mason Schreck (5/58/1) and Kamathi Holsey (4/42) combined for nine receptions, 100 yards and one score. Buffalo had 177 receiving yards overall.
► The home opener loss was UB’s first since 2009 – also to Albany.
► LB Ishmael Hargrove recorded eight tackles and a sack in Week One.
