BUFFALO 42 , BOWLING GREEN 17 NOV. 17, 2020 • Doyt Perry Stadium • Bowling Green, OH

BOWLING GREEN, OH – Jaret Patterson rushed for a school-record 301 yards and scored four touchdowns to help lead the University at Buffalo football team to a 42-17 win at Bowling Green on Tuesday night. Patterson broke his own record of 298 yards on the ground set against the Falcons last season.

A week after airing it out for a win over Miami (OH), the Bulls went back to their lethal run game to get the job done tonight. The Bulls rushed for a season-high 396 yards which was 12 yards more than their first two games combined. Kevin Marks also had a strong performance on the ground, rushing for 90 yards and a scored on 15 carries.

It didn’t take long for the Bulls to get on the board as they took their opening possession and marched 74 yards on seven plays and took a 7-0 lead on Patterson’s first touchdown of the game, a 17-yard run up the middle.

Bowling Green responded with a 40-yard field goal on their first possession to cut the lead to 7-3. But four straight rushing touchdowns by the Bulls extended their lead to 35-3 late in the third quarter.

Marks scored on a three-yard run, early in the second quarter, to make the score 14-3. Patterson punched it in from four yards out, late in the second quarter, to extend the UB advantage to 21-3 at the half.

Patterson’s third touchdown came on a 15-yard run with six minutes to go in the third quarter to put the Bulls ahead, 28-3. On the Bulls next possession, quarterback Kyle Vantrease called his own number and scored on a six-yard run to up the advantage to 35-3.

Patterson but an explanation point on the win and broke the single-game school rushing record with a 57-yard run with just over two minutes left in the game.

The Bulls didn’t need to pass the ball much as Vantrease finished 7-of-12 for 74 yards. Once again Antonio Nunn was his favorite target as the senior wide out finished with six catches for 70 yards.

Defensively the Bulls were led by James Patterson who finished with a career-high 13 tackles and added a pass breakup. Cory Gross also had a career high in tackles with 10. Malcolm Koonce had two of the Bulls’ four sacks in the game. Marcus Fuqua recorded his first career interception in the third quarter.

“It’s always good to get a road win,” head coach Lance Leipold said. “I was really pleased with our offensive perfor- mance, especially running the football. Jaret and Kevin played well as did the guys up front. It’s good to be 3-0. But, our guys have a standard that they expect to play at and I don’t they reached that tonight. But when you can win when you didn’t play your best, that’s a good sign.”

Patterson’s 301 rushing yards tied for 12th in Mid-American Conference history for a single game. He also moved into second place in school history in career rushing, passing James Starks with 3,323 yards.

STRONGER TOGETHER TASK FORCE

The Bulls are wearing a special patch on their jerseys this season to recognize the formation of the Stronger Together Task Force. In response to the social justice issues across the nation, University at Buffalo Director of Athletics Mark Alnutt announced the formation of the task force, devoted to creating synergies amongst the department in a collaborative effort with UB student- athletes and staff.

"I am honored to work with this group and want to thank them for their commitment to bettering our department, University and community," said Alnutt. "As one of our core values in our Athletic Department, we are committed to sustaining a culture of diversity and inclusion across all dimensions, and we proudly embrace and promote equality for all. Through sports, we have an amazing platform and will work together to discuss, educate, plan and implement action items while creating a more inclusive and tolerant community."

Every sport is represented on the task force and staff includes members from a wide variety of sub- sets that make up the department. The group is charged with identifying areas of priority and helping to perpetuate positive change for the UB athletics department, University campus and the Western New York community. The task force will aim to align its actions and programming with that of the department's existing mission statement to promote and embrace the diversity of student-athletes, coaches and administrators.

"I am grateful to be chosen to be a part of this special task force," said women's redshirt- senior forward Summer Hemphill. "I look forward to learning from others in the group and hearing their stories and outlook on current events. I want to lay the foundation for the underclassmen and future Bulls to continue to take a stand for what is right and use their voice to affect change."

The group realizes the issues affecting communities nationwide are in a constant state of flux and while the vision of the task force is still evolving, several areas have been identified as starting points, including social injustice, systemic racism, racial inequality, voter education and community involve- ment. 2020 BUFFALO BULLS FOOTBALL

University History

Here is how the years add up to something big. Through a steady succession of big ideas, big ventures and big achievements, UB has advanced dramatically over the past century and a half. Starting in 1846 as a small, private medical school, we’ve grown to become the largest institution in the State University of New York system, and we’re charging toward world renown as a top-rated public research university. Our history is proud and prodigious—just like UB itself.
