Yes, rain is expected to be in the forecast for tonight’s game in Oxford, but the wind will be negligible. This will allow QBs Zach Maynard and Zac Dysert the ability to still easily navigate their offenses down the field.

Buffalo has been much better on the offensive side of the ball all season long. Offense hasn’t been a problem for HC Turner Gill’s club in ’09 as it ranks 32nd overall in total yards (413.9 YPG) and 30th overall passing the ball (255.6 YPG), but it’s had problems putting points on the board coming in ranked 86th overall scoring an average of just 23.8 PPG. Going up against MOH’s 74th ranked overall and 107th ranked scoring defense should help them cap nice drives with points.

Where Buffalo has faltered in ’09 is on the defensives die of the ball. Defensively, they rank 60th in the country in yards allowed (356.8 YPG) and 75th in scoring defense (26.2 PPG). They were torched by BG QB Tyler Sheehan a couple weeks ago, and will be facing the RedHawks Zac Dysert who will be looking to atone for his awful performance at home vs. BG last week. Going into last week’s game with the Falcons, Dysert was one of the hottest QB’s in the MAC. He’ll no doubt look to revert back to form in this his final game of the season. The fact that BUF has allowed an average of 220.5 PYPG this season leads me to believe he’ll cap off his 2009 campaign with another 300+ night and 3-4 TD passes.

Though WR Naaman Roosevelt will be held out of this one, I still foresee Buffalo flourishing offensively. Same goes for Miami (OH) who should have a better go of it in their home finale. UB will be looking for its first ever win in Oxford, but it won‘t come easy. The over has cashed in each of their L/4 meetings and I look for that streak to extend by one tonight!
