The opening scores are very deceptive. The Bulls played okay against powerhouse Ohio State, covering by 13.5. Baylor was way too fast for Wofford as we told you before the game. They will not have as much of a speed edge this week.

The Bulls have been rebuilding the last four years under Jeff Quinn, and made significant steps at the end of last season by winning three of their last four games.

They took another major step in last weekends season opener against No. 2 Ohio State as they stayed within striking distance before the Buckeyes scored the final 10 points.

They have plenty of motivation to keep it close and gained confidence last week. Buffalos defense is led by linebacker Khalil Mack, who returned an interception for a 45-yard touchdown against Ohio State and recorded 2.5 tackles for loss. The 6-3, 258-pound Mack is a two-time Mid-American all-conference selection and is the NCAAs active career leader with tackles for losses.
