2014 Buffalo Bulls football team


The 2014 Buffalo Bulls football team represented the University at Buffalo in the 2014 NCAA Division I FBS football season. They were led for the season's first seven games by fifth-year head coach Jeff Quinn before his midseason firing on October 13, and by interim head coach Alex Wood for the remainder of the season. The team played their home games at University at Buffalo Stadium and competed as a member of the East Division of the Mid-American Conference. They fished the season 5–6, 3–4 in MAC play to finish in third place in the East Division. They only played 11 games due to their November 19 game vs Kent State being cancelled due to inclement weather. The failure to reschedule that canceled game cost the Bulls a chance at bowl eligibility.
