Players to Watch: Buffalo vs. Penn State
Buffalo
Elijah Holmes — QB. Buffalo’s starting quarterback has completed 35 of 61 passes for 250 yards and three touchdowns through two games. He gives the Bulls a downfield element that Penn State’s defense will need to account for early.
Messiah Burch — RB. The running back has carried the ball 18 times for 90 yards this season, giving Buffalo’s offense a steady interior presence. His workload figures to grow if the Bulls look to control the clock against a ranked opponent.
Stevie Bracey — LB. Bracey has recorded a sack this season from his linebacker spot. He anchors a Buffalo front that will be tested by Penn State’s early offensive production.
Penn State
Rocco Becht — QB. Penn State’s quarterback has been the Big Ten’s most productive passer through two weeks, completing 34 of 45 attempts for 539 yards and seven touchdowns. That efficiency has the Nittany Lions positioned at No. 14 nationally entering the Buffalo game.
Carson Hansen — RB. The running back has carried the load on the ground for Penn State, picking up 132 yards on 30 attempts. His volume gives the Nittany Lions a complementary rushing attack alongside Becht’s passing numbers.
Tony Rojas — LB. Rojas has already logged a sack this season and represents Penn State’s defensive front. The Nittany Lions will lean on him as they look to keep their unbeaten record intact.
