Offense Goes AWOL For Bulls in Citrus Bowl
By DARREN RIETHMILLER AND JIM BYRNE | Oct. 8, 2003ORLAND, FLA. - When a defense allows only 12 points in a game, never mind UB's much-maligned D, much more cannot be asked of the unit.There is no question that they did their part, allowing the offense a chance to win by only having to score a few points to win the game.Unfortunately for the defense, the offense could not up the ante, only scoring ten points in the first half, as the Buffalo Bulls (0-6, 0-2 Mid-American Conference) fell to the Central Florida Golden Knights (2-3, 1-1 MAC) on Saturday night in the Citrus Bowl by a score of 19-10.Despite the defense's Herculean efforts and the offensive woes, special teams was where the backbreaker was delivered to the Bulls in the third quarter with the game still up in the air at 12-10.With 5:58 remaining in the game and plenty of time for UB to ignite some sort of offensive effort, the Bulls punted a kick out of their own end zone to the Knights' speedster Tavaris Capers.
