Lafayette vs Buffalo Highlights | 2024 FBS Week 1 | College Football Highlights

very special Thursday night opening college football throw out of the way so I would expect a pass early on that's exactly what he does fighting Nick McMillan country last year in rushing yards and out of the gun he'll get that very first Carry but not a lot of room up the middle he is bottled up was as good of a weapon as you'll see in college football but this throw right there to Chris Kaja for the first down simple the Noble will keep it this time he'll swing it over from the gun again this time inside handoff and wrapped up in a hurry big play by coaching staff really liked alj Henderson and the opportunities he's going to get in today's game that's when they've had the most negative plays Agana quick throw far sideline caught taji Johnson missq another throw this one how does he get that through JJ CH they spot this at the 11 handoff touchdown LJ Henderson Holmes in motion the give off to the left side Curtis but he runs out of real estate maybe Troy Bruce in the back field the fake the delivery it's caught and nearing a first down looking to throw and now stepping up in the pocket directing traffic ball is caught persing lethal against this leopard defense Henderson very patient with that football and he is right around that marker for a [Applause] first DJ will keep it and finds more room to run he's down and nice yardage on first down opens up the Playbook and they'll try to open it up down the sidelines into the End Zone opening up that passing game and this time they do convert let's take a look at this touchdown and it is a handoff up the middle and brought down testic will send it away this one will bounce snow had to abata from the [Applause] pistol and Sperling has it maybe to the Four showing good signs in week one third down play direct snap and it is going nowhere so [Applause] Den Noy will step up in the pocket might have banged his ankle and he is Lamar Sperling and he's in the back field again he'll take the handoff starts right then goes left now they're doing a good job of just changing things up Spurling also had a nice block this one in the end zone and it is incomplete Nick Reed from 2 two left hatchmark and he's the noble swings it out left here's Bruce again oh a fast feed he's getting downhill and he's able to make something out that every receiver coach in the country uses no block no Rock so that means if you don't block on the perimeter to get this play off fakes the pitch room to run on the left side Den Noble takes a hit and he's brought down [Applause] deny the draw he is crunched he has Henderson next to him out of the gun again this time throwing had time but that one fluttered Lafayette making some substitutions defensively boy they pulled everybody on that play but maybe it's a third and 15 Agata will tuck it oh he had a crease up the middle but was tripped up whether it's Jamar Curtis or Troy Bruce they'll come out throwing little pitch and catch Elijah Stewart first time we've heard his name well for Curtis only to have two yards rushing in the first half that was certainly not the way things went a season ago but they have um okay until you have that first completion he had a very successful first drive as far as completion standpoint and he's been really efficient but I would like to see the see them get just because there's so many perimeter options third and 10 the delayed handoff and no chance Jayla Joseph position of the day the quick throw left it's a double move touchdown wide open in the end zone Dallas Holmes the trickery the twoo conversion attempt denovo running right and this one is [Applause] disrupted he'll get the hand off breaks a tackle tried to stiff arm got a few yards of 10 on third down deny looking to set had his receiver carasia but incomplete had plenty of experience a season ago 52 rushes [Applause] and now another hole things opening up here route to start out his career in Kansas here's a throw Agata uncorking one to the near side and it's broken up at the last second the officials to make sure they got it right we had the angle they're looking at the exact same footage that was a war there tajy Johnson the other big receiver on the other side the Boston College transfer comes through in a similar fashion extra P back it's been mostly short efficient passes but anytime they tried to go to the Run game it's basically been that Curtis cannot get to the outside near side need to get to the 48 of Buffalo huge third down and this ball thrown one who tragically passed away in 2016 this a big third and five Den Noble lets it rip and it's incomplete not on the same page at all with the we have not seen this formation yet today the noble it's a it's a delayed these Buffalo linebackers here comes the handoff it's Barksdale again this time nowhere to go for the first time a step quarter here's the option pitch and nothing do it on the outside Lafayette was [Applause] tonight another hand off bark still stays on his feet and it's another huge Chunk in a boy that one to the left misses P the well this time some misdirection they were hoping would help Jamar Curtis Den Noble defense barreling down on him trying to stay alive he somehow does an incredible he's looking at Garcia in the end zone and he holds it in for the touchdown you called out the matchup and they were voicing their displeasure with the officials in a very professional manner this is it again Jamar Curtis in the backfield as he's been all game instead going to the other side and it's a catch Elijah Stewart they go empty out of the gun Hing lobs one up just out of the outstretched arms of Elijah Stewart about 31 yards oh man missed it unbelievable they had a chance to make it a and boy was that a miss opportunity and you just saw a leaping I bet you it's going to be an awfully competitive week with those tail backs so you're seeing the full gamut here this one will another healthy run they'll keep it on the ground they'll get about four or five of those yards [Applause] back deny sets and throws maybe about nine yards sets up the Bulls offense well that's as good of a play as you will see in the opening weeks and they follow it up with a touchdown Jaz [Applause] bck big running backs like that he's eventually going to get an explosive [Applause] play Oh an outstanding Moy firing to the other side of the field incomplete and after of the coach just because what happened over the previous years obviously that wasn't the standard of what they wanted to establish that is going to carry over and establish the culture now here at Buffalo while you're seeing but who put in his time as a backup last year in CJ Agana and once again just seeing what these young guys the only time you would come into the game almost a gimmick player and I I think that's it's got to be frustrating for somebody who you know Prides himself in being able to be a dual threat vers getting the game ball right there two great coaches a great battle tonight as well right you said John Troxel that is a team that is going to do some damage to look forward to especially going on the road against a sec opponent they're going to have
