Last Meeting
Penn State has played Buffalo three times over the past 150 years of college football. The two squads last met on a rainy day in Happy Valley in 2015 for a game that the Nittany Lions won 27-14.
A young freshman running back named Saquon Barkley made his first of many highlight plays in a Nittany Lion uniform against the Bulls that day. Penn State leads the all-time series 2-1.
Injuries/Suspensions
Penn State remains extremely healthy with no listed injuries from the Idaho game. The only notable injury absence is Juice Scruggs, who’s recovering from injuries suffered in a car accident earlier this year.
Donovan Johnson is back on the depth chart after serving a one-game suspension for a violation of team rules, and Cam Brown is back in his familiar starting role after being suspended for the first half of his team’s week 1 game for a targeting foul committed in the Citrus Bowl.
