2. Travon McMillian rushes for 150 yards and two scores 

The transfer from Virginia Tech has been everything and more for the Buffaloes this offseason. You can’t replace a Phillip Lindsay-type of player, but having McMillian certainly helps the transition without the leader the of the team.

McMillian will not be the true work-horse with Kyle Evans, Alex Fontenot and Beau Bisharat also in the mix for carries–but when he does get touches he can be electric. You don’t accrue over 2,100 rushing yards during your college career (while playing in the ACC) if you don’t have talent.

He will help keep the Buffaloes offense balanced–and don’t be surprised to see him utilized in the receiving game.
