Buffalo won that one, 10-0. Penn State would have to wait 107 years to get its revenge, and did so with a 45-24 win in 2007. Eight years later, Penn State took the series lead with an ugly 27-14 win that you might remember as the coming out party for one Saquon Barkley, and four years later, Penn State added to its advantage with a 45-13 win under the lights.
This will be Matt Campbell’s first chance to play Buffalo as Penn State’s coach, but he’s familiar with the Bulls, and interestingly enough, has yet to beat them.
Campbell coached against Buffalo twice when he was the boss at Toledo and went 0-2.
It seems to be a safe bet that Campbell will get his first win over the Bulls.
