Buffalo Can Run the Football
The Buffalo Bulls were one of the best rushing teams in college football this season, and they will use that strategy in the Bahamas Bowl. Buffalo ran for over 254 yards per game this season, and they have a stable of running backs to get the job done. Running back Jaret Patterson led the way with 1,626 rushing yards this season and has also found the end zone 17 times. Buffalo will be without running back Dylan McDuffie in this game, but they have plenty of weapons.
The Buffalo offense has gotten most of the headlines this season, but they have a terrific defense as well. The Bulls have allowed just 22.3 points per game this season, and that is against some terrific offenses in the Mid-American Conference. Buffalo gave up just seven points in the final game of the season, and they should be feeling good entering this game. The Bulls have racked up 38 sacks so far this season, and they will be aggressive in this game.
Charlotte Doesn’t Play Much “Defense”
Charlotte will be facing a terrific defense in this game, but don’t look for them to play much defense themselves. The 49ers have given up over 32 points per game this season, and their rushing defense has been problematic. Charlotte did not allow more than 22 points in each of their last four games, and there is a chance that their defense has finally started to figure some things out. The 49ers will need some stops to give their offense a chance in this game.
Quarterback Chris Reynolds will be the player to watch when the Charlotte 49ers have the ball. Reynolds has thrown for over 2,600 yards this season and has thrown 17 touchdown passes. The 49ers have scored more than 31 points per game this season, and they will need to score a ton of points to win this game. Charlotte has over 430 total yards per game this season, and they will need each one of them to extend drives in this game.
Buffalo Blows Out Charlotte in Bahamas Bowl
Buffalo is an extremely high-scoring team, and the Charlotte 49ers have really struggled to get some stops this season. That is a recipe for disaster for Charlotte in the Bahamas Bowl, and it’s going to let Buffalo pile up the points. The Bulls will be without some key players in this game, but their roster is just much better than Charlotte. The 49ers will get a nice, free trip to the Bahamas out of the deal, but the actual football game is not going to be enjoyable.
