Before Buffalo fans could even blink the Bulls surrendered a kickoff return for a touchdown and threw two interceptions. Before 10 minutes had went by the Bulls found themselves on the wrong side of a 10-0 score. To their credit the defense did all they could in that span to keep the game from getting out of control.
On NIU's first series Buffalo stuffed the Huskies on a fourth and one and held NIU to a field goal on their second drive.
Buffalo would make it interesting with a 7 play, 90 yard drive which was capped by a Jordan Johnson 29 yard touchdown run.
