i might need my head examined on this buffalo play but i genuinely think its a spot where uconn is gonna fail. to be quite honest with you, this is more of a play AGAINST uconn than it is ON buffalo. and i dont mean to imply that i dont think uconn is light years better. theyre far superior to buffalo (understatement of the season) but this is just not a spot the young huskies are used to. i dont think theyll have the discipline to hammer buffalo with virginia tech on deck and coming off b-college.
teams like florida state, florida, miami, oklahoma, et al... - those programs have big games every week. they know how to avoid the lookahead. uconn used to be in buffalo's shoes (being the team that could benefit as a result of their opponent looking ahead). now uconn is expected to take care of business in a big way (3-plus TD spread). no doubt uconn will control the game, but i just dont see the huskies taking buffalo seriously at all.
we'll see. 42-10 could happen and i would have thrown $$ away.
but 31-14 could happen just as easily.
