Wolff, Nixon, Bosma star in Western Michigan's 48-41 win over Buffalo
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) Hayden Wolff threw three touchdown passes to Blake Bosma, Jaden Nixon scored three more on the ground and Western Michigan held on to beat Buffalo 48-41 on Saturday.
The Broncos (4-3, 3-0 Mid-American Conference) saw an 18-point third-quarter lead evaporate when Al-Jay Henderson sprinted up the middle 68 yards to tie the game at 38-all in the fourth quarter. But Jordin Parker returned the ensuing kickoff 75 yards, leading to Luka Zurak's 37-yard field goal. On WMU's next possession, Nixon found his way through the line and rushed 54 yards for a 48-38 lead with 2:43 to go.
Upton Bellenfant's field goal with a minute left got the Bulls (4-3, 2-1) within seven. Buffalo thought it was going to get a final possession at the WMU 35 when the nation's total tackles leader, linebacker Shaun Dolac, brought down Nixon on fourth-and-1. But a measurement gave the Broncos' a game-clinching first down by the nose of the ball.
Wolff was 20 of 31 for 280 yards passing. Nixon finished with 112 yards rushing on 14 carries and Bosma had 85 yards receiving.
C.J. Ogbonna was 22-of-34 passing for 309 yards and two touchdowns for Buffalo.
