Even though we did score 63 points last year, there were still points left out there. As a team, a couple things just didn’t go our way, but I thought we played really well being in that atmosphere. Opening up Big 12 at home against them, it needs to be a win for us for sure.”

“Buffalo had a lot of a passing game, but that was the only team that we had been tested by before,” said Dixon.
