CMU-Buffalo: NCAA 09's Take

Gosh... sorry, guys, for the late update. For some reason, my computer wasn't letting me into Blogger the entire day to update this thing. But now it's working, so I'm going to give this a shot.

Up until this point, I am 4-0 in predicting games, and NCAA 09 is 3-0 (didn't sim the first week). But it looks like one of us is going to get a loss, because NCAA 09's got...

BUFFALO 38, CENTRAL MICHIGAN 34

CMU opened up a 21-0 lead in the first quarter on an Antonio Brown kickoff return for a touchdown, a Justin Hoskins 6-yard touchdown run and a Dan LeFevour pass to Hoskins for another touchdown. But Buffalo scored 14 unanswered points to end the half at a 21-14 deficit.

Central led pretty much the entire way, keeping a 34-31 lead throughout the last half of the fourth quarter... until Buffalo scored a touchdown with about 1:30 remaining in the game. The Chippewas came up short in a comeback effort and the Bulls steal the game.

My prediction is CMU 38, Buffalo 30 - so one of us is going to be wrong. We'll just have to wait and see.

Expect an update before the game at around 3:30 p.m. tomorrow (assuming Blogger cooperates this time)... that is, if you're watching the game at home! We'll be sure to give you real-time updates on what's happening on cm-life.com and right here at halftime and postgame. Take care!
