STATE COLLEGE, Pennsylvania (Ticker) -- Dan Connor and No. 12 Penn State will try not to look ahead a week.
Connor leads the stingy Nittany Lions into Saturday's non-conference matchup with Buffalo.
Last week, Connor had a team-best 12 tackles - including a sack - as Penn State improved to 2-0 on the campaign with a 31-10 thumping of Notre Dame.
Connor helped the hosts limit the Fighting Irish to zero yards rushing and just 144 total yards, as the Nittany Lions avenged a 24-point loss at Notre Dame a year ago.
Penn State is gearing up for next week's Big Ten Conference opener at reeling Michigan, which has not lost to the Nittany Lions since 1996. The 0-2 Wolverines host the 0-2 Irish this weekend.
Buffalo rebounded from a 38-3 setback at Rutgers to pound lowly Temple on the road, 42-7.
Drew Willy threw a pair of touchdowns and ran for another score for the Bulls, who are 3-11 overall under second-year coach Turner Gill.
The teams are meeting for the first time since 1900, when Buffalo posted a 10-0 home win in the series' only meeting.
