Quinn Pleased with Saturday’s Scrimmage
BUFFALO, NY - The University at Buffalo football team held its first scrimmage of fall camp on Saturday afternoon at UB Stadium. The Bulls looked impressive on both sides of the ball and head coach Jeff Quinn was very pleased with what he saw.
"As a head coach, you are always looking for both sides of the ball to have success and we saw that today," Quinn said. "We saw our offense put the ball in the endzone and make big plays. Our defense did a good job tackling and had good pursuit to the football."
