Why Buffalo can cover
After serving as an associate head coach at Maryland, Rice, Memphis and South Carolina over the last decade, Pete Lembo finally got another crack at a head coaching role in Buffalo. The former Ball State, Elon and Lehigh head coach had a 112-65 record prior to joining the Bulls and has already engineered a five-win improvement after Buffalo went 3-9 last season.
The Bulls have ducked any major losses in the transfer portal thus far and should have most hands on deck for the Bahamas Bowl. CJ Ogbonna threw for 2,244 yards and 19 touchdowns with only five interceptions while also rushing for 311 yards and eight touchdowns this season. Buffalo will also have leading rusher Al-Jay Henderson (959 rushing yards) and leading receiver Victor Snow (51-610-6) at its disposal. See which team to pick here.
Why Liberty can cover
Meanwhile, the Flames are dealing with some heavy losses in the transfer portal and to opt-outs. Starting quarterback Kaidon Salter left for Colorado and three starting offensive linemen are also gone along with 1,000-yard rusher Quinton Cooley.
Jamey Chadwell will turn to Ryan Burger as his new starting quarterback and this will be an opportunity to audition for the job on a more permanent basis with Liberty expected to be in the hunt for QB help in the portal. The Flames will also have Billy Lucas in action, the program’s second-leading rusher. Lucas has rushed for 1,260 yards and 11 touchdowns over the last two seasons. See which team to pick here.
