The University at Buffalo held its annual football kickoff luncheon on Wednesday at the Millennium Hotel. Head Coach Jeff Quinn as well as senior cornerback Domonic Cook and senior nose tackle Anel Montanez addressed the largest luncheon audience since its inception.

Heisman Trophy winner and Super Bowl MVP Desmond Howard was the keynote speaker for the event. Howard was a teammate of UB athletic director Warde Manual at Michigan and is now a college football analyst on ESPN’s popular College GameDay show.

The yearly luncheon kicks off the start of the UB football season. Players will be reporting over the next couple of days with the first practice to be held on Friday.
