BUFFALO, New York - For the fourth time in four seasons the feel-good game on the University at Buffalo football schedule sent positive vibes surging throughout UB Stadium.
Running back Bo Oliver plowed through the defense like he had commandeered a John Deere tractor. You know, one of the really big ones.
Quarterback Alex Zordich and top wideout Alex Neutz made like Montana and Rice or, if you prefer, Willy and Roosevelt.
Backup QB Joe Licata, the former Williamsville South star, threw a TD pass on his first collegiate attempt.
Backup running back James Potts rolled 49 yards to a TD on his second collegiate carry (and then injured himself in the celebration).
And UB rolled up the most points in its FBS history to tantalize a crowd of 15,570 with a 56-34 stroll over Morgan State, which had plenty of ammo but couldn't guard the fort.
"It's been 295 days since the Akron win," said coach Jeff Quinn, referencing UB's last victory. "I told these guys that we wanted to really head out of there tonight feeling good about all three phases of our team. There are some things offensively that were just tremendous accomplishments. ... (But) we got to get better at stopping the run."
UB records fell like the rains that drenched Western New York earlier Saturday. Oliver went for 238 yards and two touchdowns to break the single-game FBS mark of 235 he set last year. And he also had about 70 yards worth of runs negated by penalties.
