Bulls Control Clock But Not Huskies


The Bulls proved that time of possession doesn't mean much if you can't get in the end zone on Saturday in a 55-0 loss at undefeated Connecticut.

The Bulls had the ball for over 41 minutes in the game, converted 14-of-26 third down conversions and had 437 yards of total offense. All of that, however, was meaningless as UB was 0-for-5 on fourth downs and three times were inside the UConn 10 only to come away with nothing.

The Huskies big-play offense and special teams, meanwhile, victimized UB all day. The Huskies averaged 9.1 yards per play - they ran only 49 plays to UB's 115 - and had a long punt and kickoff return that set up two scores. Connecticut also returned both of UB's turnovers for touchdowns as Louis Waggoner returned a Chad Salisbury pass 77 yards for a score and Jeff DeLucia picked up a Josh Roth fumble and returned it 74 yards. The Huskies scored 27 third quarter points to snuff out any hope of a UB rally after intermission.

Junior quarterback Chad Salisbury (Newell, PA/Frazier HS) threw 54 passes in the game, which ties him for second all-time for attempts in a game with Marty Barrett, who had 54 at Baldwin-Wallace in 1982.

Senior tailback Anthony Swan (Kingston, NY/Kingston HS) became the school's all-time leader in rushing attempts with 16 carries on the day. Swan now has 694 carries in his career eclipsing Alan Bell (1989-92) who had 682 rushing attempts.

Offensively for UB, Rychard Dykes (Syracuse, NY/Corcoran HS) had a career-best six catches for 46 yards to lead the way. Drew Haddad (Cleveland, OH/St. Ignatius), Kali Watkins (Rochester, NY/West Irondequoit HS) and Swan all added five catches for UB.

Ted McDuffie (Buffalo, NY/Grover Cleveland) led the defense with 10 tackles (eight solos) while freshman Travis Blount (Syracuse, NY/Corcoran HS) added a career-high six stops.
