Jaret Patterson ran for 105 yards and matched a major-college football record by reaching 1,000 yards for the season in five games as No. 24 Buffalo routed Akron 56-7 on Saturday as a tune-up for the Mid-American Conference championship.

Marks went over 100 yards and scored twice in the first half as Buffalo (5-0) built a 35-0 lead against Akron (1-5).

The Bulls scored on defense for the fourth time this season when Tyrone Hill blocked a field goal and returned it 63 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter. Buffalo finished with 428 yards rushing. Buffalo's passing attack found the end zone for the first time in three games when Kyle Vantrease connected with Trevor Wilson for a 52-yard touchdown early in the third quarter.

Buffalo's Jaret Patterson tied an FBS record on Saturday when he became the 12th player to surpass 1,000 yards rushing in the first five games of the season. In his first action since becoming the fourth FBS player to rush for more than 400 yards in a game, Patterson topped 1,000 yards on a 40-yard run in the second quarter of the 24th-ranked Bulls' game against Akron. Stanford's Bryce Love in 2017 was the last FBS player to rush for more than 1,000 yards in his first five games of the season. Heisman Trophy winners Marcus Allen, Barry Sanders and Ricky Williams also are among the players to accomplish the feat. Named this week as one of 10 semifinalists for the Doak Walker Award, Patterson entered the game leading the nation in rushing yards per game (230) and yards per carry (8.6). - AP College Football

12/11/20 - Elijah Blades, rSr/2023, Buffalo + More +

Senior cornerback Elijah Blades and redshirt freshman linebacker KeShun Brown have rejoined the team after opting out before the season started. "Like I said, that door's always been open," Fisher said. "They've always been a part of our family; we want to help them." Fisher said Blades seemed to have good practices last week, but there's no timetable for him possibly playing in a game. Last season, the junior college transfer played in seven games, starting five. He missed the Texas-San Antonio game with an injury and also missed the last three games of the season with an injury. A&M, minus Blades, has been steady at cornerback this season with senior Myles Jones and true freshman Jaylon Jones starting every game. "We're doing really well [there]," Fisher said.

Fisher respects the choice made by players who opted out in the summer, just as he respects their decision to rejoin the team. "Listen, there was a lot of turmoil and confusion going on at that time in America [when they made their decisions to opt out]," Fisher said. "We had a lot of unknowns; you had a lot of young people making decisions, and now they [are making] decisions based off the information they have now." Fisher said the players who rejoin the team have to go through 2-3 weeks of conditioning before returning to the field. - Bryan/College Station Eagle
