"Lol this only more motivation!!" he wrote. "More fuel to the fire!! This ain't nothing new to me!! I know god is doing this for a reason!!" However, a few hours later, he posted a photo of him self as a child, standing behind a mannequin that wore a burgundy, yellow and white Washington jersey.

Buffalo's Jaret Patterson is expected to play against Marshall in the Camellia Bowl on Friday, a week after one of the nation's leading rushers hurt his right knee. Coach Lance Leipold said Patterson should be "ready and able to go" after the junior work ed out individually on the sideline during practice Tuesday. Leipold said it remains to be determined whether Patterson would wear a protective brace on the knee he hurt in the third quarter of a 38-28 loss to Ball State in the Mid-American Conference ch ampionship last Friday.The coach wouldn't rule out the possibility of Patterson seeing limited playing time. "I guess go is go. Would I see a little more rotation? Possibly," Leipold said. Patterson was hurt while being tackled for a loss and retu rned briefly in the fourth quarter while wearing a brace. He finished with a season-low 47 yards on 18 carries but scored his 19th touchdown rushing to match the school single-season record he set last year. Overall, Patterson leads the nation by averagi ng 178.7 yards rushing per outing, and he ranks 10th with 1,072 yards despite Buffalo (5-1) playing just six games this season. - AP College Football

Buffalo star Jaret Patterson left the Mid-American Conference championship game in the third quarter with what appeared to be a right leg issue. Patterson was able to leave the field under his own power, but he did not play the rest of that series and re mained sidelined for the start of Buffalo's next possession as well. The 23rd-ranked Bulls trailed Ball State 38-21 when Patterson exited, and the Cardinals had held him to just 45 yards on 17 carries. It has been a dazzling season for Patterson, who rus hed for 1,025 yards and 18 touchdowns in Buffalo's first five games. He opened the scoring with a TD run Friday night as well, but Ball State has kept him mostly contained. - AP College Football

A national ranking isn't merely a byproduct. Now, it's a consequential moment for the UB football team. The Bulls (4-0) are ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 for the first time in program history, and open the week at No. 24 in the AP Top 25 poll, wh ich was released Sunday. "It validates things about the progress we continue to make, the consistencies we've shown and some of the performances in the national spotlight, on the national television games, that people have taken notice," Leipold said. "T his is a unique season, as we know. You probably see a few more Group of Five schools get these opportunities. But to be in that type of conversation, from where we were five, six years ago, definitely says a lot." AP Top 25 voters gave UB 145 votes, ahe ad of No. 25 Wisconsin (115 votes). The Bulls are one of nine teams that remain undefeated this season, and eight of those teams are ranked this week. - Buffalo News

The Heisman hype for Patterson continues to grow, in the wake of his astonishing 409-yard game Nov. 28 against Kent State, in which he tied a Football Bowl Subdivision record with eight touchdowns in a game. That performance, along with Patterson's consi stent production, has put him on the map as one of the nation's top players. "It's definitely an honor, a blessing, to be considered in the conversation," Patterson said of the Heisman chatter. "Just growing up, loving the game, you look at TV and you se e guys who are Heisman finalists. You never think you will be in consideration. But you have to keep working, put your head down, control what you can control. That's my approach. Keep working and good things will happen."Patterson entered the wee kend first in the nation in rushing yards per game (230), tied for second in rushing touchdowns (16) and fifth in total yards. Patterson is the second all-time leading rusher for the Bulls (3,732 yards), and he needs 80 yards in order to reach his third 1,000-yard rushing season at UB. If he cracks the 1,000-yard plateau Dec. 12 against Akron, Patterson will be the 12th player in FBS history to reach it in five games. "It's deserving for him to be in this conversation," UB coach Lance Leipold said. "His numbers speak for themselves. Do I say he's going to win the Heisman Trophy? No, that's not it. "But to be in conversations, and I don't know how many people get these ballots … do these ballots have three people? But you look at the numbers and the c onsistency and where it's at, I think he deserves it." - Buffalo News

Four games into his junior season, the 5-foot-9, 195-pound Patterson has essentially re-written the Mid-American Conference program's record book, while coming off his most impressive national attention-grabbing moment so far. In a 70-41 win over Kent St ate on Saturday, Patterson finished with 409 yards rushing, the second most in FBS history and 18 shy of Samaje Perine's single-game record for Oklahoma in 2014. And he scored eight touchdowns rushing, matching the FBS record set by Illinois running back Howard Griffith in 1990. Arizona State's Kalen Ballage, in 2016, is the only other player to score eight touchdowns (seven rushing and one receiving) in a major college game.Coming off 301 yards rushing and four TDs in a 42-17 win at Bowling Gree n, Patterson joined Texas star Ricky Williams (1996) in becoming just the second player to top 300 yards rushing in consecutive games. Overall, Patterson's 920 yards rushing this season rank fifth in the nation, with the four players ahead of him having played nine or more games. Reminded about his emotional breakdown at Eastern Michigan, Patterson acknowledged he wouldn't have envisioned this kind of production during one of the lowest moments of his life. But the memory of being overlooked is what dri ves him. "It made me work even harder," Patterson said. "(Winters) always used to tell me, you only need one school to love you. And I knew whatever school me and my brother had the same offer, we were going to give them everything." - Niagara Gazette

For the past three seasons, Patterson has been UB's most productive running back. He finished fifth in the nation last season in rushing yards, but his 409-yard, eight-touchdown game Saturday in a 70-41 win against Kent State has made the college footbal l world take notice of the diminutive running back. "The last time the Bulls scored as many as 70 points in a game? It was an 81-0 win over Hobart in 1918. In the middle of the Spanish flu epidemic. Must be something about pandemic years." Patterson has established himself as one of the nation's most productive running backs this season. He is fifth in the nation in rushing with 920 yards on 107 carries, and leads the nation in rushing yards per game (230). He's tied with Iowa State's Breece Hall for se cond in the nation with 16 rushing touchdowns - he and Hall each have scored more touchdowns than 31 FBS teams this season."What makes Jaret special, not just him as an athlete but as a person, it's the humbleness he carries, the hunger that he ha s each and every week to be even better, and the gratitude he has to his teammates that help him get there," UB coach Lance Leipold said Saturday. "When your best players are your best practice players, the most humble, the best in the community at doing those things, those are things that are a coach's dream and things that winning programs are built upon." - Buffalo News

Playing a bit under the radar at Buffalo, Jaret Patterson has put up rushing numbers that demand attention. Patterson broke his own school record with 301 yards and four touchdowns in a 42-17 win at Bowling Green in the third of his team's three straight mid-week Mid-American Conference games.

The 5-foot-9, 195-pound Patterson has run for at least 100 yards in 13 of his 30 games. His 3,323 yards make him the second-leading career rusher among juniors, behind Oklahoma State's Chuba Hubbard.

University at Buffalo running back Jaret Patterson has caught the attention of a Pro Football Hall of Famer. Barry Sanders, the legendary Detroit Lions running back, posted a highlight video of Patterson on Wednesday on his Twitter account and wished Pat terson good luck. Patterson will be a junior at UB this fall. Patterson was named a second-team, preseason All-American by the Walter Camp Football Foundation last week. He set UB single-season records for rushing yards (1,799) and rushing touchdowns (19 ) in 2019, and he led the Mid-American Conference and was fifth in the nation in rushing yards. Patterson set a MAC single-game rushing record of 298 yards Nov. 29 against Bowling Green. Patterson is also the second-leading returning rusher in the Footba ll Bowl Subdivision, behind Oklahoma State's Chuba Hubbard, who ran for 2,094 yards in 2019. - Buffalo News

The Covid-19 pandemic has put much of the University at Buffalo football program's offseason regimen on hold, but it hasn't stopped Jaret Patterson from gaining attention as a potential NFL Draft candidate in 2021. Patterson has spent the spring in Maryl and, where he is training for the 2020 season and the start of UB's fall practices, but says he isn't paying attention to the draft chatter. "I really don't have time to reflect on that," Patterson recently told the News. "It's already going by pretty fa st. I was just in my freshman year and I'm trying to take it one day at a time. I don't listen to the outside noise. I listen to things with my head down and it's tunnel vision. How can I improve, on and off the field? Each and every day."Patterso n isn't embracing the speculation regarding his future. Instead, he is taking a holistic approach in preparing to take the next step. He's immediately focusing on the 2020 season, not the 2021 NFL Draft. UB's season is scheduled to open Sept. 5 at Kansas State. "I really want to improve in all areas of my game," Patterson said. "I don't focus on improving one thing. I want to improve every aspect. "I really want to win a MAC championship. That's something I want to do for this team and for the universit y. That will help make my next step stronger, being a good leader and a good teammate. Doing the same thing I've been doing, and doing more of that." - Buffalo News

The fate of football season, college and pros, remains up in the air. But on Thursday, Ford Field lost its first football event of the year, with news the Mid-American Conference media kickoff will be shifting to a virtual event for 2021 amid the COVID-1 9 pandemic. The media days will be a two-day online event, sometime this summer, the conference announced Thursday. The Mid-American Conference has moved its media days to a virtual platform for 2020."A virtual media preview will provide the oppor tunity for increased exposure for our coaches, student-athletes, member institutions and the conference as a whole," MAC commissioner Jon Steinbrecher said in statement. "This will allow the membership to not only connect with the media but students, fan s and alumni from all over. The MAC will continue to look for innovative ways to expand its reach." MAC football media days have taken place annually at Ford Field for more than a decade, with the lone exception being 2017, when they were held at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. - Detroit News

A strong 2019 season brought UB's overall record to 24-15 since 2017, marking the program's first time having three consecutive seasons of being at or above a .500 winning percentage during its Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) era. This past fall also pro duced the Bulls first taste of back-to-back bowl seasons, after just two coming from 1999-2013. The team also placed a program record 12 players on the All-Mid-American Conference team. One of the biggest factors in that success was tailback Jaret Patter son, who rewrote the UB record book last fall. Patterson's sophomore campaign saw him setting single-season program records for rushing yards (1,799), yards from scrimmage (2,008), rushing touchdowns (19) and total touchdowns (20). The two-time All-MAC s election ranked fifth in the nation in rushing and was one of only six players to account for over 2,000 yards from scrimmage and score 20 or more TDs.Patterson and the Bulls were nearly done with the first two phases of their 2020 offseason sched ule. After a great winter conditioning period in the newly minted Murchie Family Fieldhouse, UB would open up the spring season by getting a good portion of its 15 scheduled spring practices, ahead of the annual spring game slated for April 3. But before they knew it, just like everyone else in the nation, the sweeping impact of the COVID-19 outbreak picked off the Bulls' spring schedule. Patterson does think the abbreviated spring will pay off for UB this fall, though, simply because of the advantage i t'll have over other programs. "We really got a head start because we started (earlier) than most programs so that's a good thing," Patterson said in a conversation on Twitter. "But definitely missing out on them other practices and reps are big. I don't really think it will affect us, we just have to make them (up) whenever (we) get back to things." - Niagara Gazette

Buffalo coach Lance Leipold has agreed to a new five-year contract for the second consecutive offseason, this time after leading the Bulls to their first bowl victory in school history. Leipold's new contract runs through the 2024 season, extending his p revious deal by one year. The deal is a reward for building Buffalo into a consistent winner. With a 31-32 record over five seasons, Leipold already ranks fourth on the school list for coaching victories, and Buffalo's 24 wins over the past three seasons lead the Mid-American Conference over that span. The Bulls closed last season with an 8-5 record, including a 31-9 win over Charlotte in the Bahamas Bowl. It was the school's first win in four bowl appearances. Leipold was named MAC coach of the year in 2018 after Buffalo finished 10-4 and set a single-season school record for wins. - AP College Football
