RJ’s take: Just when Pete Lembo might have thought he left the MAC for good, they pulled him back in to be head coach at Buffalo following Mo Linguist’s departure to Alabama.
But the cupboard isn’t completely empty, with linebacker Shaun Dolac returning after a short stint in Logan, Utah. He recorded 13 tackles for loss, including 4.5 sacks, in 2023. Alongside Red Murdock, who accounted for nine tackles for loss and three forced fumbles while starting just the last six games of the season, the defense in Buffalo might become a calling card with former RedHawks LB coach Joe Bowen coordinating.
Buffalo’s Win Total Odds: Over 5.5 (+125) Under 5.5 (-160)
