AMHERST, N.Y. (AP) -- Quarterback P.J. Piskorik rushed for 85 yards and a touchdown as Buffalo beat Central Michigan 36-6 Saturday.

Buffalo exploded for 28 second-quarter points as the Bulls (2-8, 2-6 Mid-American Conference) handed Central Michigan (3-7, 2-5) its 13th straight road loss.

Piskorik also threw for a season high 122 yards, completing 6 of 17 passes with one interception. Buffalo rolled up 387 yards of offense, 223 on the ground. The Bulls got 18 first downs, while their defense recorded eight sacks.

Chris McDuffie scored on runs of 11 and 2 yards. Steven King ran for a 9-yard TD, while Gabriel McGlover returned a blocked punt 24 yards for another score. King ran 16 times for 74 yards.

Central Michigan quarterback Kent Smith, who last week threw for five touchdowns against Eastern Michigan and ran for two more, was held to 18 of 37 for 184 yards with an interception, plus a sack by Buffalo's Rich Sanders for a fourth-quarter safety.

Smith hit Justin Gardner with a third-quarter, 11-yard scoring pass. Jerry Seymour led the Chippewas with 81 yards on 20 carries.

Buffalo's win, just its second of the season, tied its highest total as a member of the MAC. That may alleviate some pressure on head coach Jim Hofher, whose future could still be in question after seven wins over four years. Hofher is in the fourth year of a five-year contract.
