UB Holds On to Beat Bowling Green, 28-26

  • Posted on October 2, 2010 at 10:16 pm

UB FootballIt must be something about Doyt Perry Stadium, because every time the Buffalo football team plays at Bowling Green the incredible seems to happen.

After a four-overtime loss in 2006 and an incredible double overtime win by the Bulls here in 2008 – which clinched the Mid-American Conference East title – Buffalo somehow survived with a 28-26 victory on Saturday after Bowling Green missed a 40-yard field goal on the final play of the game to allow the Bulls to survive.

It was justice for the Buffalo defense who played a tremendous game as UB outgained the Falcons by a whopping  441-176 yards and had 27 first downs compared to BG’s 10. Nonetheless, UB nearly gave up a 28-13 lead in the fourth quarter as the Falcons scored on an 82-yard interception return and a 48-yard pass to cut the lead to two points.

Vanek, Lalime Suffering From Injuries

  • Posted on October 2, 2010 at 10:01 pm

Sabres Old LogoJohn Vogl of the Buffalo News is reporting that the Buffalo Sabres will face the Philadelphia Flyers in Sunday’s preseason finale without the services of two of their players.  Both goaltender Patrick Lalime and forward Thomas Vanek have injuries that are forcing them out of the lineup.

Of the two, Vanek is obviously the far more important injury. He suffered a hit in Thursday’s game at Montreal that left him with a sore head and neck. Head coach Lindy Ruff did point out however, that the injury doesn’t fall into the seven-day window for concussions.

“Van has to be held out,” Ruff told Vogl. “He’s going to probably see our doctor again tomorrow night.

Lalime has a pulled groin and hasn’t been able to practice for the past four days.  Ruff is hopeful, but not overly confident that Lalime will be ready for the season opener Friday night in Ottawa, saying he’s concerned about Lalime’s lack of playing time.

Ugly Scene Mars Exciting Weekend of H.S. Football

  • Posted on October 2, 2010 at 9:51 pm

highschoolsports2Williamsville South senior quarterback Joe Licata has had a magical career. It culminated Friday night when he became Western New York’s all-time leader in touchdown passes.  Licata threw for four scores, including a seven yarder to Kevin O’Connell that allowed him to surpass the career record of 71 by Randall Secky of Maple Grove, as the Billies held off Iroquois 33-31 in Class-A action.

Licata finished the night 15-of-20 for 197 yards.  He told Buffalo News reporters that he didn’t know he was on pace to break the record until this past week.

The other big story  this weekend was junior quarterback Chad Kelly (nephew of Jim Kelly), who led St. Joes to a stunning victory Saturday afternoon, throttling second-ranked large school Canisius, 50-26 in front of a delighted home crowd.

Canisius Volleyball Suffers First MAAC Loss

  • Posted on October 2, 2010 at 6:11 pm

Canisius VolleyballThe Canisius College volleyball team dropped its first Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference match of the season, falling in four sets at Saint Peter’s in the Yanitelli Center on Saturday. The Golden Griffins lost 25-18, 25-21, 17-25 and 25-17 to fall to 8-9 overall and 4-1 in the MAAC.

Sophomore Samantha Good led the Griffs with 19 kills while hitting .371 on the day. Senior Renee Lettow had 13 kills while junior Janelle Davis added a double-double with 40 assists and a season-high 14 digs. Sophomore Allyson Severyn had a season-high 27 digs.

“Saint Peter’s controlled the momentum right from the start today, and they kept us from gaining any of the momentum back,” Canisius coach Cathy Hummel said. “We committed more unforced errors than our last two matches combined. We didn’t get the leadership necessary to turn it around when you’re struggling on the road.”

Source: Jamon Meredith To Sit Out Again vs. Jets

  • Posted on October 2, 2010 at 5:55 pm

Jamon MeredithI spoke to a source inside the Buffalo Bills organization, and learned that offensive tackle Jamon Meredith will be deactivated for the second straight week when the Bills take on the New York Jets Sunday afternoon.

According to the source, Cordaro Howard will backup starters Demetrius Bell and Cornell Green at offensive tackle.  Kraig Urbik will be the seventh active linemen and back up both guard positions.

Meredith came into training camp expected to challenge Bell for the starting left tackle spot but has struggled since training camp.  He played sparingly during the Bills first two games but the coaching staff didn’t like what they saw and have since moved Howard past him on the team’s depth chart.

We’re Back

  • Posted on October 2, 2010 at 5:38 pm

As you’ve surely noticed, Buffalo Sports Daily has been down for the past few days. I’ve been extremely busy this week attending the murder trial where the victim was a closer personal friend, and the website needed some maintenance and new coding, so this was the perfect time to do it.

Regardless, we’re back and ready to roll—and apologize to our readers for any inconvenience. We’ll try to make it up to you.
