The UMass defense finally got it together and looked like the defensive team we had last year.
Yes, we blew the coverage on the first series and then added a penalty to make things worse.
BUT THEN
- we held Towson to 22 net yards rushing
- Towson had 22 catches and only averaged 6.o yards/catch
- Three INT including a 90 yard return for a TD!
- Three straight times the offense turned the ball over in our territory and the defense held the Tigers to three points.
- we were flying to the ball and we out hit them all day.
