Pittsburgh Panthers defeat UB Bulls 54-27

by Steve

The Bulls lost to the Big East douche bag Panthers 54-27 in a game where the final score was anything but indicative of the competition of the game. UB was down 13 with 6 minutes left in the fourth quarter with the ball inside the Pitt 20 yard line. An over thrown ball my Maynard on 4th and 10 in the endzone was the nail in the coffin for a UB upset or even cover. Oh well..

Zach Maynard had a break out game. He torched the Pitt secondary for 400 yards and 4 tds. Naaman Roosevelt played like a top WR in the country plays hauling in 6 catches 179 yards 2 TDS, straight beast. Other than that no one really showed up except Hamlin and the o-line.

Thermilius proved he is not a feature back. Mario Henry had two huge fumbles early in the game. The defense was over matched early picked up in the middle then let down after the Maynard incompletion towards the end.

Another crucial play late in the 3rd quarter when UB again was driving to cut the Pitt lead to 1 score Maynard fumbled on a QB option (I think, i couldn't see with the terrible seating arrangement at UB stadium) and a Shitt defender picked it up and went untouched 60+ yards for a decisive touchdown.

All in all the Bulls played well for the caliber of the opponent but botched routine plays that sealed their fate. UB plays at central florida next week then MAC play starts the following weekend. WE CAN BUILD ON THISSS!!!
