  Eight months after finishing 4-8 overall, and 2-8 in the Mid-American Conference, the University at Buffalo was picked to finish third in the East Division in the 2022 MAC football 24-person preseason media poll. The projection is a kind improvement, following the Bulls' fifth-place finish in the East a season ago. "You know, preseason polls, they're very necessary," Bulls coach Maurice Linguist said. "This time of the year brings all the excitement and all the juice and all the talk of football. We know where football's played, it's played on the field. Our men in the locker room know that and understand that. We have work in front of us that we have to get after in the month of August." Finishing above Buffalo in the East were Miami (Ohio) with 139 points, 20 first-place votes and five MAC championship votes, followed by reigning division champion Kent State with 116 points and three first-place votes.

Teams not ranked No. 1 typically feel slighted, and that slight is exactly why games are played. On a weekly basis, teams are given an opportunity to prove a miscalculation was made and their results from training camp until the end of the season is what matters most. "It doesn't mean anything, but you still have to use that to fuel the fire that they're doubting us," Bulls linebacker James Patterson said. "We know what we can do and we know what type of team we are and we just got to show that on game day." - Buffalo News

  The University at Buffalo football team will have its head coach under contract until the end of 2026. UB's athletic department announced Thursday that Bulls coach Maurice Linguist has agreed to a one-year contract extension. "An extension is something I'm proud of as a head coach, but it speaks to our assistant coaches, the young men in our locker room and everybody involved with UB football for the direction the program is heading and the confidence that we all have in where we're going," Linguist said in a statement released by the athletic department.

The extension comes after Linguist's first season as coach, in which the Bulls were 4-8 and 2-6 in the Mid-American Conference. After Linguist's first season, UB's staff focused on bringing in players with experience at the Power Five level, and its 36-player class of high school recruits, junior-college transfers, and Football Championship Subdivision and Football Bowl Subdivision transfers helped the Bulls rank as the MAC's top recruiting class, according to 247Sports. The Bulls' incoming class is No. 76 nationally in 247Sports' overall rankings. - Buffalo News

  The University at Buffalo football program provided another feel-good - and fiscally helpful - moment this week. The Bulls on Wednesday announced that Dom Polizzi, a redshirt junior and an offensive lineman from Brockport, became the recipient of a full scholarship. The Bulls did it in a stylish fashion, too. In a video clip posted to social media, the players watched a highlight reel of Polizzi's top plays during a team meeting, and on the video, UB coach Maurice Linguist announced that Polizzi had earned a scholarship.

"I am beyond thankful for what this program has done for me both as a student athlete and a man," Polizzi wrote on Twitter, with a blue heart emoji and the "Horns Up" emoji. "Love the process and it will love you back." A day earlier, Polizzi's father, Ron, announced on social media that Dom had earned a full scholarship. Polizzi joined the Bulls as a walk-on from Brockport High School in the fall of 2019. He had six tackles and recovered a fumble in six games as a redshirt freshman in 2020, and played primarily on special teams in 11 games in 2021. - Buffalo News

  Nebraska OLB Damian Jackson has opted to continue his collegiate football career elsewhere. A senior outside linebacker, Jackson entered the transfer portal Friday (April 29), a source confirmed. The Las Vegas native served four years as a member of the Navy SEALs before walking on at Nebraska in 2018. Although he didn't play football in high school, he made his way onto the field for the Huskers from 2018 to 2021 as both a defensive lineman and outside linebacker while also excelling on special teams. Jackson has said he wants to take football as far it goes, and then he'll look at his options.

Returning to the military is one of them, he said. He has said his pursuit of a football career was tough. But Nebraska walk-on coordinator Kenny Wilhite and then-NU coach Mike Riley took a chance on him in 2018. "Every single coach that I came into contact with at Nebraska has built me up," Jackson said last November. "When I came here, I didn't know anything about football at all, I didn't understand plays, didn't understand anything that was going on, and they stuck with me." - Lincoln Journal

He intercepted his first-career pass at Duquesne and then posted Bryant's multi-INT game since 2018 with a pair at Wagner. Andreessen collected a season-high 14 stops against Central Connecticut. - Bryant Football
