Miami dominated Buffalo 37-20 behind a powerful ground attack featuring two touchdown runs from D'Shawntae Jones and a versatile performance from quarterback Thomas Gotkowski, who added both a rushing and passing score. The RedHawks pulled away decisively in the second half after Buffalo had briefly tied the game at 17 in the third quarter. Miami's balanced offensive attack proved too much for the Bulls, who couldn't keep pace despite Ta'Quan Roberson's two touchdown passes.
