Redshirt freshman Thomas Gotkowski made his first career start and accounted for two touchdowns (one passing, one rushing), providing a spark after the previous starter struggled. His performance suggests the offense may have found a reliable leader.
Jordan Brunson rushed for 123 yards, and D'Shawntae Jones added two rushing touchdowns, complementing Gotkowski's passing. This balance will be key for future games, especially against tougher defenses.
After allowing 17 unanswered points to fall behind 20-17, the defense tightened up, forcing two interceptions and holding Buffalo scoreless for the rest of the game. This ability to adjust under pressure bodes well for close contests ahead.
