This one defines painful losses.
The Buffalo Bulls overcame a 21-0 deficit and defeated the Ohio Bobcats 27-26 in MAC play Saturday.
The Bobcats appeared to have pulled off a 26-24 victory when Buffalo’s Alex McNulty missed a 31-yard field-goal attempt as time expired.
Hold on … because Ohio was flagged for being offsides on the attempt and that gave the Bulls’ McNulty a second chance.
“Our short snapper, Jeremiah Riordan actually made a good call,” McNulty said per the Buffalo News. “He saw the jump and he snapped it early, so we had an early snap to try to pull that offsides so we could get a second chance.
And he nailed the kick.

The Bulls had to overcome a 26-10 deficit in the fourth quarter, part of which came on Armani Rogers’ historic 99-yard touchdown run.
Rogers set NCAA history on that play with the longest scoring play by a quarterback.
