Akron vs. UB / Breaking down the Bulls' win
Game analysis: UB lost starting running back Ike Nduka (ankle) in the early going, and backup
Brandon Thermilus (ankle) left shortly thereafter. The offensive line already was in
transition after losing tackle Andrew West in the win over Gardner-Webb. Pretty it wasn't, but
the Bulls persevered, 21-17, against an Akron team that came in with a solid defensive game
plan. (Updated: 10/18/09 8:12 PM )

Bulls need some scoring at home to get back on winning track
1. Making a stand. Defense was the anticipated strength for UB, but until the Central Michigan game the results had been sporadic and too many players were MIA. Middle linebacker Scott Pettigrew stepped it up big against the Chippewas, with a career-best 10 tackles and a fumble recovery. Ditto defensive tackle Anel Montanez, who also re-emerged as a disruptive presence. It’s imperative they continue to ease the burden on cyclonic weak-side LB Justin Winters and safeties Mike Newton and Davonte Shannon. Clarence grad John Syty takes over at strong-side LB in place of freshman Darius Willis, who’ll undergo season-ending surgery on a torn pectoral muscle. (Updated: 10/10/09 7:08 AM )
