Buffalo vs. Bowling Green updates: Live NCAA Football game scores, results for Friday

Live scores, highlights and updates from the Buffalo vs. Bowling Green football game

The Bowling Green Falcons fans better hope the squad plays one heck of a game on Friday as the odds are decidedly against them. Bowling Green and the Buffalo Bulls will face off in a Mid-American battle at noon ET at UB Stadium. Bowling Green is hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 37.64 points per game.

The Falcons played a matchup they are hoping to forget as they lost a 66-24 blowout to the Ohio Bobcats last week. QB Grant Loy wasn't much of a difference maker for the Falcons; despite one touchdown, he threw one interception and fumbled the ball once.

A well-balanced attack led Buffalo over the Toledo Rockets every single quarter on their way to victory. Buffalo took down Toledo 49-30. RB Jaret Patterson had a dynamite game for the Bulls; he rushed for 192 yards and four TDs on 32 carries.

Buffalo's victory lifted them to 6-5 while Bowling Green's defeat dropped them down to 3-8. Two defensive numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: The Bulls enter the contest with 38 sacks, good for fifth best in the nation. Less enviably, the Falcons are seventh worst in the nation in touchdowns allowed, with 53 on the season. So the Bowling Green squad has its work cut out for it.
