BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) --- Nino Hill ran for a pair of short touchdowns and Buffalo
overcame several miscues to defeat Robert Morris 31-28 on Saturday.
Jason Wright threw for a touchdown and ran for another but also had two
interceptions as the Bulls (2-2) had trouble putting away the Colonials (2-2).
Wright also fumbled while being sacked by Jaylen Williams and Khalil Hunter
recovered in the end zone to pull the Football Championship Subdivision
visitors within 28-21 with 9:32 to play.
Oliver Hautanen also missed a pair of field goals before his 48-yarder made it
a 10-point game with less than six minutes to go.
Wright was 15 of 28 for 140 yards and had 95 yards on the ground with a 25-yard
touchdown that tied the game at 14 just before halftime. Messiah Burch ran for
137 yards on 24 carries and Hill finished with 72 on 20.
Carson Haggard hit a wide-open Noah Schaerli for a 32-yard touchdown to cap an
81-yard drive that pulled the Colonials within three with 1:51 to play but the
Bulls recovered the onside kick.
Haggard was just 13 of 31 and he also had a rushing touchdown --- a burst up
the middle for a 50-yard score for a 14-7 lead in the second quarter.
