KENT, Ohio (AP) -- Buffalo's Drew Willy led an 11-play, 73-yard fourth quarter scoring drive to tie Kent State, setting up Bran Thermilus's 1-yard TD run in overtime that gave the Bulls a 30-23 win Saturday.

Willy was 34 of 44 for 334 yards and two touchdowns for Buffalo (5-7, 5-3 Mid-American East), including a four-yard score to Brett Hamlin that capped the long drive and made it 23-23 with just under five minutes to play.

Buffalo's Ernest Jackson caught nine passes for 118 yards and a touchdown, while Naam Roosevelt caught eight passes for 90 yards and returned a first-half kickoff for 83 yards.
