Stony Brook at Buffalo Game Thread

[Uncle Buck]

I know i may be the only poster in the thread, but SBU doesn't look ready to play. UTEP must have drained them. UB gets a big kickoff return then one pass and a TD, now a big punt return as SBU picks up one first down and has to punt.

[Uncle Buck]

Alright, at least SBU forced the three and out after good field position for UB

[Uncle Buck]

One of the announcers for UB sounds like he sucked the helium out of a balloon. It's like someone invited the lollipop kids to do the game.

[SleepySmurf]

Listening on SBU radio website - they sound like they may have settled in a little.

[SleepySmurf]

UB only had 2:22 possession time in first half.

[SleepySmurf]

Good to see Essington getting reps early. Hope they stick with him more.

[SleepySmurf]

Coulter to Gush TD 7-7!!

[SleepySmurf]

Or did Essington throw it?

[Uncle Buck]

Essington tossed it!

[Uncle Buck]

I like Essington so much better, just as good a passer if not better and more of a running threat.

[Uncle Buck]

Listening on SBU radio website - they sound like they may have settled in a little.

I kicked in the $8 for the video, pretty good so far (except for the one announcer).

[SleepySmurf]

Definitely brings more to the table. Coulter makes good decisions and has experience but not nearly the athlete or the arm.

[Uncle Buck]

Agreed.

[Uncle Buck]

Defense has to stop this drive. Too many 3rd downs being converted.

[SleepySmurf]

Would like to see us hold them to a FG here.

[SleepySmurf]

i guess not

[Uncle Buck]

Sloppy tackling, ran through arm after arm after arm. Everyone reaching no one tackling.

[Uncle Buck]

I know that was a lot of pressure, but Coulter even if theres a chance to get away, his feet are just sloooooooowww.

[Uncle Buck]

Ugh, no one even slowed him down on that TD run. 21-7 Buffalo.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

The MAC has looked really good so far this season. I thought this might be a close game.

I'm actually pulling for SBU. I can't stand UB football.

[SleepySmurf]

Did they just try the lonely end? Gardner Webb tried that up at SBU a few years ago and the penalty got called then too.

[Uncle Buck]

UB hit two big plays for TD's. Teams are getting chippy now, a lot of pushing and shoving.

[SleepySmurf]

Pic 6, that one hurts

[Uncle Buck]

Jesus Chirst, batted pass caught and returned for a TD. No, TD comes off or unsportsmanlike conduct. UB Ball.

[Uncle Buck]

Coulter stinks, step away from the pressure son, step away.

[Uncle Buck]

SBU D comes up big with the pick!

[SleepySmurf]

Penalty, then get it right back. That kid must feel list a jacka$$!!

[SleepySmurf]

give us ESSINGTON

[Uncle Buck]

Stupid penalty on the fair catch. No UB in great position.

[SleepySmurf]

I feel like that could have been a lot better but it also could have been a lot worse if that makes any sense.

[Uncle Buck]

Definitely. SBU looks a step slow tonight compared to how they looked at UTEP. Could be dragging from travel to texas back and then upstate. Either way, i wish they would just give Essington the start. Coulter didn't really do anything wrong, but Essington's running ability might make them think twice about blitzing.

[SleepySmurf]

Found a live free videostream on the MAC website

[Uncle Buck]

Nice!

[SleepySmurf]

just saw the replay of the long TD run. No body even breathed on him!

[Uncle Buck]

I know, crazy how open it was. Gotta get something going on this opening drive

[Uncle Buck]

So much for making the first drive count.

Put in Essington and make him a run pass threat.

[SleepySmurf]

I don't get why Essington comes in, does good things, then disappears. I don't think he needs to play full time but why not keep mixing him in?

[Uncle Buck]

Who knows. I think he should be getting the bulk of the snaps since he's more of a dual threat. I don't get it at all.

[Uncle Buck]

I'll give props though, that was a good pass by Coulter for the first down. Telegraphs his throws, but a good one there. Okay, so it was a backhanded compliment.

[Uncle Buck]

Christ, nothing going right tonight!

[SleepySmurf]

Penalty followed by turnover, not a good turn of events

[Uncle Buck]

Man, the secondary for SBU looks like garbage tonight, no one was near this guy! 2nd blown coverage of the night for a TD. Mental breakdowns are killing us.

[SleepySmurf]

Essington back in.

[Uncle Buck]

Hopefully he does something and makes us look smart!

[Uncle Buck]

I guess they would have to let him handle the ball first. WTF!

[Uncle Buck]

Terrible series. O-line getting pushed in his lap on a straight drop. Why not move the pocket if he's mobile so he has options.

[SleepySmurf]

Essington doesn't look great on this series so far. Couple of iffy throws.

[Uncle Buck]

Haha, i know! That penalty helps, gives him a few more shots at it. He's just gotta hit a couple and settle in.

[Uncle Buck]

SBU is done, they just don't look like they have anything tonight.

[SleepySmurf]

They look slow and tired right now. As am I. I think I've had enough.
