  "account": "BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — In a thrilling contest on Saturday, Buffalo emerged victorious over Robert Morris with a final score of 31-28. Quarterback Jason Wright contributed to the game with both a touchdown pass and a touchdown run, but his performance was marred by two interceptions that hampered Buffalo's ability to secure the win.
