Human nature is a funny thing. In one of my previous posts I had two news items. One was a story mentioning that a player who had signed a LOI to UMass had been named the MVP of a high school All-Star game. The other was that UMass was interested in, but had not signed a player that had some minor legal problems. There were zero comments on the sure good thing and over a dozen about possible bad thing.
There has been a lot of comment about some of UMass' struggles this year, but no one has mentioned UMass' slick two-minute drive to win the game at Holy Cross. See this article from Smart Football about clock management and why spiking the ball is nearly always a bad idea.
