The 2012 Buffalo State Bengals football team represents Buffalo State College in the 2012 NCAA Division III football season. They are led by nineteenth year head coach Jerry Boyes and play their home games at Coyer Field. They are a member of the Empire 8. On September 15, 2012, Buffalo State went on the road and defeated the three-time defending Division III national champion #1 rated Wisconsin–Whitewater Warhawks 7-6, winning the game on a touchdown pass in the game's final seconds. The victory by the Bengals snapped Wisconsin–Whitewater's 46-game winning streak, preventing the Warhawks from extending the streak to 47 games, which would have been the third-longest winning streak in NCAA football history.
