Honestly, this result is about what I expected. The interceptions were a nice surprise, and you did a good job moving the ball on the ground for the most part, but even with the steady improvement each year, the Bulls are simply not in a place where you can go into the most hostile stadiums in the country and beat a Top 10 program. I like the idea of challenging yourself with Power 4 teams, but getting blown out every year doesn't help the players' development or the program in any way, whereas beating a school like Auburn, Iowa, or Stanford is going to raise Buffalo's profile even if they're not a playoff-caliber opponent. Cajuste is not an *awful* tight end on paper, and it's not like you have anyone better on the roster; Teel (who I would like to see play more often) has similar Hands ratings but runs sloppier routes and is a very poor blocker. It's just that his role needs to be minimized. He had more drops today than most guys had *targets*; last game against JMU you ran that awful TE Screen that never works like three times. Dude should pretty much never be your first look. Something else worth noting: EJ has to stop putting the football on the ground. He fumbles a LOT, usually when hit from behind. It's not the only reason Buffalo lost today, but it's a worrying and noticeable trend. If you're gonna scramble with him, you've gotta be more decisive in breaking the pocket-- he doesn't have Anthony Richardson speed, so you've gotta make that calculation early and commit to it.
Didn’t know that. If so, keeping a B1G school on the schedule is a nice, realistic touch. But even in that case, Cane should be attacking schools like Purdue, Northwestern, and Michigan State rather than Ohio State.
I spent the whole game watching through my hands whenever Cajuste was the target. I know he's the best we got at TE, but we we might be better off with a worse player, but one who can catch.
Cajuste drop was horrible, but we gotta appreciate the team that Cane has built in these years. The improvements are insane. This squad is gonna make some noise in the coming years. The RB group is really awesome. Love the Maier/Ojinnaka combo
Huge tip for future reference when scouting kickers and punters: GEM/BUST does not matter whatsoever. I've seen 3 star busts with accuracy+power in the low 80s. I've also seen gems with kicking ratings in the mid-low 70s (sometimes even high 60s). Those gems are often designated as such because of their other ratings like speed, accel, and throwing for some reason. Try your best to ignore the flashing lights and go for the guys with good kicking ratings. Maybe we can grab a guy that can make 52 yarders this season 😅
Gems are never normal dev and have a higher chance of the 2 highest dev traits. Busts are usually the lowest dev in my experience. I agree for just going for pure ratings for kickers though, I've tried for higher dev kickers and they barely develop even if they're gems
james peoples looked so fast because of the 98 change of direction. high change of direction makes players very very quick. i would say anything 90 plus can really make a difference
This defense is going to everything it can to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. And Cajuste couldn't even work in a McDonald's because he'd keep dropping the fries on the floor.
I know Cajuste was bad, but Colston is a scrambling QB that doesn't scramble. He took sacks he shouldn't have taken. Could've ran with ample field ahead of him, plenty times.
This game shouldn't have been this close. If Sayin doesn't throw those two silly picks, Ohio State wins going away. Which they did anyway, but still, that's 14 points they gave up that didn't need to happen.
Yup. Cane said "The final score doesn't tell the whole story" and that's true, but not in the way he meant it; if Sayin doesn't throw those picks and the kicker doesn't miss his early field goal, this is something like a 61-14 beatdown.
Carruthers has been lockdown so far this season. Ohio State basically avoided throwing his way like the plague. The second he went down with injury and reagor was playing his side of the field they abused him. Gotta sure up the soft MOF and get that other boundary corner spot settled. Do those two things and this defense is looking a lot better.
Canuste needs to be benched after that drop and I was cutting him some slack. I always saw potential there, but he’s a junior now and nothing has shown. He still looks like a freshman
Shifty Platinum is 100%, making James Peoples way better. Shifty is absolutely broken. It gives a speed boost off rip for RBs to get them up to max speed
Cane starting to see what I’ve been saying forever. Cajuste is an athletic bricks for hands right end who is slightly above replacement level for his athleticism only
It was the sort of game where you needed to be mistake free and take advantage of some OSU mistakes. You had both of those working until the 4th. You had the bad 2nd and 1 play, and then Cajuste just ganked that catch. You hung in there though. If you get the full recruiting class, this team is going to be full of 4-star players, and you will be able to compete with top 25 programs better.
Man... i have been standing by my man Cajuste until today. I would at the very least mentally as the controlling player eliminate him as an option in routes. I dont see anyone but maybe teel to try instead. Definitely look hard at a TE who can be a true freshman starter at this rate.
I would like to see you use some other tight ends, at least to give them a chance to grow into the system. I would also like to see less blitzing on defense and have more 4-3 zone to help with stopping the run. The DB's seem to be holding down the fort but the front 7 need a bit more help. Lampman is going to lead the team in tackles if the front 7 can't learn to contain more upfront. Check your defense for the best block shedding versus athleticism and see if that helps. Love the series and really enjoy your videos, you are the goat in my mind with how you play the games, both football and baseball. LETS GO BULLS!!!!!!!!!
Good job keeping it close until the wheels came off in the 4th. Brutal juggle/interception for Cajuste, unfortunately he just seems to be unreliable as a safety valve, so many drops in traffic.
Cajuste was the first domino. Cane, buddy I love ya, but I gotta bring some realism here. The game was over at 49-24. That last 3 minute TD deceives what actually happened. Ohio St. DOMINATED the 2nd half. They put up 35 points to Buffalo’s 10. The 2nd quarter was the Buckeyes worst performance and probably the Bulls best. And the difference was one TD heading into halftime. Ohio St. talent is still leaps and bounds over Buffalo. And that’s ok. I think, playing Michigan or Wisconsin next season, we’ll see a win over a B1G program
Are you still using placement passing? Also, you put great touch/height on your deep balls. Did you find it hard to get that consistently when first starting to play this game. I think I gently touch the button but it gets no height. And a lot of times it gets intercepted because it is thrown way short with no height on the throw
Listen there were some positives for this game but it was never close and was never going to be close. You cant be saying its a close game when your giving up 9.2 yard a carry and i dunno how many yards per play it was for Ohio state. One of the reasons the Bulls were ever in the game was the two dumb ints from the Ohio state QB, If you take away those they prolly score on both those drives like they were doing before that. The Oline is way better and seems to beable to run block really well against a top 10 team ill give you that. But Pass blocking seems lacking still. Also the Defense is still terrible 1150 yard given up in the first two games is YIKES.
Is the first drive but if this is the offense Ohio St is going to call then you have an excellent shot at an upset. Their scout should be fired after seeing game film last week they should be throwing on almost every down.
Kevin Cajuste needs to go work at Burger King that drop that lead to a pick was so bad
Lol
😂
Hell be a 5th round pick lol
That Cajuste drop is a bench-worthy offense.
23:02 hitting the heisman pose down 20 after scoring your first career touchdown is crazy
They gotta do something about that, literally any and every player does it
Cane is genuinely on a generational run with these uploads and amazing series
18:14 Cajuste doing what he does best. It's a little early in the year to be doing that, he usually waits until the games are must wins.
18:38 coach is holding a sign with heartbreak emoji poop emoji. Right there with you buddy
Cajuste is the kind of guy who puts mayo in his coffee
He should have played at kentucky
The Cajuste hate in the comment section did not disappoint. Lol
The world told you to cut Cajuste in the offseason. I'd have kept two kickers over that albatross.
Remember when Cain designed a whole offensive playbook around Freshman TE Kevin Cajuste?
😂😂😂
Cajuste is truly the JR Smith of Buffalo football
Man don't do Jr Smith like this
JR Smith was a good role player and has some highlights, Cajuste has that one bowl game touchdown against Notre Dame and thats it
@@SpiralIntoAVoid LMFAO true true
Cajuste at FB may be an idea. His routes would be check downs and wouldn’t be counted on in big moments
isn't his blocking a weak point?
@@gkdunch His blocking is also one of the reasons his still playing
I like this idea.
Honestly, this result is about what I expected.

It because Buffalo irl has a deal with big ten schools to play them once a year
Didn’t know that. If so, keeping a B1G school on the schedule is a nice, realistic touch. But even in that case, Cane should be attacking schools like Purdue, Northwestern, and Michigan State rather than Ohio State.
Kevin Cajuste will go down as the most hated player in channel history
He makes Aaron Higdon and that guy who ditched Cane for Iowa at the last minute (something Campbell I think) look like Trayvon Randolph.
I spent the whole game watching through my hands whenever Cajuste was the target. I know he's the best we got at TE, but we we might be better off with a worse player, but one who can catch.
Maybe it would of been futile but man. If only he caught that pass..
I'd ask Cajuste to put the fries in the bag but he'll find a way to screw it up.
He'd straight up drop them lol
Cajuste drop was horrible, but we gotta appreciate the team that Cane has built in these years. The improvements are insane. This squad is gonna make some noise in the coming years. The RB group is really awesome. Love the Maier/Ojinnaka combo
Dingle bells dingle bells dingle all the way!!!

Peoples also has 96 COD which is a game changer at rb
trejo is a superstar in the making
Great measuring stick, keep going Cane.
The heisman pose at the end killed me💀🤣
I think it goes without saying that Kevin Cajuste’s favorite candy is a butterfinger
Freakin Cajuste omg😭
james peoples looked so fast because of the 98 change of direction. high change of direction makes players very very quick. i would say anything 90 plus can really make a difference
You should take the Saints & the Jaguars and add them to the Buffalo Bulls making a superteam.
E.T. looked great today, will definitely be a worthy successor to staley. Cajuste deserves a a few game at TE #2
Real ones knew Cain was gonna get smoked after that first half.
Cajuste is the Jameis Winston of TEs
I get the cajuste hate but Staley need to get involved, him and ET are the big down targets, those 2 and dingle need to run this offense
Whenever Cane is hyped about a prospect he’s either the goat or just the worst player to ever touch a football. It’s no in between
Devin Hester jr in this year recruiting class!? Maybe make him shifty as heck for a storyline kinda guy
This defense is going to everything it can to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
And Cajuste couldn't even work in a McDonald's because he'd keep dropping the fries on the floor.
I know Cajuste was bad, but Colston is a scrambling QB that doesn't scramble. He took sacks he shouldn't have taken. Could've ran with ample field ahead of him, plenty times.
The loss hurts cause you guys played well and maybe it would of been futile anyway cause its Ohio State but daaamn. Cajuste should of caught that.
Bench Cajuste, enough is enough
Allow me to use my Spoiler Blocker Card...
Tough loss, keep our heads up on to the next one.
Kevin Cajuste certified bum
#26 got murdered at the 11 minute mark in the 4th OMG
This game shouldn't have been this close. If Sayin doesn't throw those two silly picks, Ohio State wins going away. Which they did anyway, but still, that's 14 points they gave up that didn't need to happen.
What game were you watching? This game actually was closer than it looked 😭
Yup. Cane said "The final score doesn't tell the whole story" and that's true, but not in the way he meant it; if Sayin doesn't throw those picks and the kicker doesn't miss his early field goal, this is something like a 61-14 beatdown.
The Cajuste bobble wasn't great, but the ball placement wasnt either. What do you expect from sub 80 catching with bad ball placement lol
Dont blame it on the a-a-a-a alcohol, blame it on cajuste
incredible effort
Amazing series
Cajuste about to drop the next big smoothie at your local juice bar.
Carruthers has been lockdown so far this season. Ohio State basically avoided throwing his way like the plague. The second he went down with injury and reagor was playing his side of the field they abused him. Gotta sure up the soft MOF and get that other boundary corner spot settled. Do those two things and this defense is looking a lot better.
Thank you for uploading your playbook!
Shemar Porter was on UConn
Canuste needs to be benched after that drop and I was cutting him some slack. I always saw potential there, but he’s a junior now and nothing has shown. He still looks like a freshman
Cajuste gives me Doug Duckett vibes from the Minnesota series, guy has blocks for hands
Cajuste needs a week off after that, the drop opened up the floodgates. (Maybe 2 weeks off) and then the second drop as well.
Anyone else remember when Cajuste had the potential to be the best player on the team?
Shifty Platinum is 100%, making James Peoples way better. Shifty is absolutely broken. It gives a speed boost off rip for RBs to get them up to max speed
Cane starting to see what I’ve been saying forever. Cajuste is an athletic bricks for hands right end who is slightly above replacement level for his athleticism only
Maybe Kevin Cajuste can be a contributor to the UB basketball team.
Because he wouldn't see the field for the football team for a while.
It was the sort of game where you needed to be mistake free and take advantage of some OSU mistakes. You had both of those working until the 4th. You had the bad 2nd and 1 play, and then Cajuste just ganked that catch. You hung in there though.

Quincy Ness pulls of a dk at 9:28 - 9:43
27:53 Bah gawd that's discount Taylor Heinicke
Cane, don't forget about recruiting/obtaining a punter this season!
Man... i have been standing by my man Cajuste until today. I would at the very least mentally as the controlling player eliminate him as an option in routes.
I dont see anyone but maybe teel to try instead. Definitely look hard at a TE who can be a true freshman starter at this rate.
I would like to see you use some other tight ends, at least to give them a chance to grow into the system. I would also like to see less blitzing on defense and have more 4-3 zone to help with stopping the run. The DB's seem to be holding down the fort but the front 7 need a bit more help. Lampman is going to lead the team in tackles if the front 7 can't learn to contain more upfront. Check your defense for the best block shedding versus athleticism and see if that helps. Love the series and really enjoy your videos, you are the goat in my mind with how you play the games, both football and baseball. LETS GO BULLS!!!!!!!!!
Enrique Trejo💪
At least Ohio State doesn't have to worry about you planting your flag on their field 😂
kevin cajuste don’t even think about touching my fries
the cajuste curse strikes again.
Ohio state missing kicks, this game is so spot on!
throwing to cajuste on big downs is such a mistake
and then he just causes the biggest momentum swing in the game lol
Good job keeping it close until the wheels came off in the 4th. Brutal juggle/interception for Cajuste, unfortunately he just seems to be unreliable as a safety valve, so many drops in traffic.
Cain the 3-4 defense works way better in this game against the run
By this point I'd exile Cajuste to Siberia with the mistakes he made throughout his bust of a college career
How is cajuste still in lineup?
Cajuste was the first domino.
Cane, buddy I love ya, but I gotta bring some realism here. The game was over at 49-24. That last 3 minute TD deceives what actually happened.
Ohio St. DOMINATED the 2nd half. They put up 35 points to Buffalo’s 10. The 2nd quarter was the Buckeyes worst performance and probably the Bulls best. And the difference was one TD heading into halftime.
Ohio St. talent is still leaps and bounds over Buffalo. And that’s ok. I think, playing Michigan or Wisconsin next season, we’ll see a win over a B1G program
Is it crazy to say both dingle and Meier are looking better than sperling did last year?
Hope Cajuste is focussing on his studies cause his ahh is NOT making it in football 😭🙏
Are you still using placement passing? Also, you put great touch/height on your deep balls. Did you find it hard to get that consistently when first starting to play this game. I think I gently touch the button but it gets no height. And a lot of times it gets intercepted because it is thrown way short with no height on the throw
Yes I have stuck with Placement
osu kicker missing this game is so realistic
Sources says "Cain's coaching ceiling/decision is in question after another disappointing loss follow by another game changing cajuste drop"
Gotta find a way to get Staley the ball more!
Did I see CB Devin Hester on the scouting board? Is he a lackluster CB but great return man that ends up making the switch to WR?
People are ragging on Cajuste but honestly the turning point was Dingle getting injured.
Cane what are your passing settings?, like the reticle speed and pass lead values
Holy speed burst Ohio state. 😮
Pile of s***Emoji and the sign had me rollin,
What time is it? It’s night night celebration at 5:50
I'm surprised you didn't bench Cajuste after his drop led to an interception
Revoke cajuste scholarship lol
This is such a goated comment section😭
Cajuste should be riding the pine until graduation
kevin cajuste is really well levis
Cane needs to checkdown to the RB instead of the tight end.
Number 20 Peoples was much better than Cajuste was bad. Cajuste is just a two team player and you gotta love that grit.
It's time to sit Kevin.
Listen there were some positives for this game but it was never close and was never going to be close. You cant be saying its a close game when your giving up 9.2 yard a carry and i dunno how many yards per play it was for Ohio state.

Jet touch passes to Staley button
Is the first drive but if this is the offense Ohio St is going to call then you have an excellent shot at an upset. Their scout should be fired after seeing game film last week they should be throwing on almost every down.
What slider set is this?
Was Kevin Cajuste a pure TE or was he an ATH bc he might have to swap sides of the ball 😭
Would love to see Elway or Ogbonna come in with the 2nd team instead of Eric “career backup” Pacheco.
Am I the only one that noticed Ohio’s TE lining up at running?
