INSIDE THE BENGAL BOX SCORE
  • Amir Cameron (Brooklyn, NY/James Madison) led the Bengals offense for the second straight contest throwing for 96 yards with 87 rushing yards; including a game-sealing 45-yard touchdown run to propel the Bengals to victory.
  • Ale Wilson (Bronx, NY/KIPP College Prep) was a force on the ground rushing for 132 yards across 16 attempts.
  • Nick Sciandra (North Tonawanda, NY/North Tonawanda) nailed a 53-yard field goal in the first half to set a new Buffalo State program record, which was 52-yards set by Marc Montana back in 2014.
  • On the defensive side, Kenneth Mosley (Buffalo, NY/Kenmore West) and Sincere Green (Jamestown, NY/Jamestown) each tallied nine tackles while Green had a forced fumble and two sacks.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • After a slow start to the first quarter, the Bengals were able to gain some momentum downfield.
  • Following a sack from the Pioneers, Sciandra was set up for his record-breaking field goal that he sent right down the middle. He previous career-high was 51 which he set last season.
  • At the start of the second quarter, the Pioneers failed on a field goal attempt which led to a Buffalo State 3-0 lead at halftime.
  • Alfred State had another chance to tie the game with a field goal in the third quarter, but Brandon Gracey (Camden, NY/Mexico Academy) reached his arm just high enough to block the kick as Mosley recovered the ball to gain the turnover.
  • Buffalo State carried the momentum into the final 15 minutes of action clinging to a 3-0 lead.
  • The Pioneers threatened late but failed to convert on fourth down inside the Bengals 10-yard line.
  • Late in the fourth quarter, Wilson found an opening for a 47-yard run to get into enemy territory.
  • Following the two-minute warning, the Bengals came out ready as Cameron avoided a sack and rushed down the sideline for the Bengals' touchdown.
  • Alfred State took a safety before recovering on onside kick. Buffalo State would then seal the game thanks to a sack from Dominic Ferguson (Buffalo, NY/Kenmore East) and Samuel Palmesano (Corning, NY/Corning-Painted Post) to give the Bengals their first winning record since the 2017 season.
     
FOR THE FOES
  • Noah Currier led the Pioneers with 116 rushing yards.
