Due to a snow storm that hit the Buffalo area, the game was played on Sunday instead of Saturday. The snow storm did not stop the RedHawks from their first victory of the season. Miami’s defense and special teams provided the RedHawks with scoring opportunities. The defense intercepted Buffalo four times in the second half and their special teams blocked a punt. This led to three touchdowns in just under nine minutes. This victory gave Miami a 9-0 all-time record versus the Bulls.[2]
