You may have noted a strange thing if you listened to last week's UMass-Maine game------Maine scored. The black bears had only managed 2 points in the previous two games. And the UMass defense had only given up 1TD this year.
Maine scored on two long pass plays and had another TD called back on a holding penalty. I had noticed that Maine shifted to a four-wideout set enough to take an image of it. Scroll down to the original blog. Maine had been successful in previous years with a "big back" offense. This year their featured RB Marcus Williams had graduated, putting a large dent in Maine's productivity.
