Big Finish!

The Buffalo State Bengals closed out their non-conference schedule in a major way by pulling off a big upset win over Ferrum College! The Bengals went into the game as 12.5 point underdogs. At halftime, we were up 17-7. Being up at halftime against better teams is nothing new for us. However, this time, things were different. In the second half we outscored the opposition 21-7 to wn 38-14.

Neither QB was especially efficient, however, QB Alex Young was on the mark for 4 TDs and just one interception (while completing just 44.4 percent of his passes). WR Edward Fleming also continued his strong season, catching five passes for 67 yards and two touchdowns. Finally, DB Jonathan Keith performed well, netting two interceptions in the game. This may be in part to Ferrum's kicker throwing 19 passes, however, it is still impressive.

Over the non-conference schedule, two players stand out. Alex Young has completed just over 51% of his passes on the season for 478 yards, with 10 TDs and 4 INTs. Edward Fleming has been playing well at wide-out, catching 26 balls for 413 yards and 3 TD so far. Hopefully both are able to keep it up!

We begin our conference schedule against #6 Rowan. We expect that to be a long day for us.
