McGuirk Magic!

UMass write-up here.

Northeastern write-up here.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, after the game, Mrs Blog and I stopped at our exclusive wine store----- Big Y, and bought a bottle of vino. Mrs. Blog offered a toast during supper to the win.

The UMass defense held the Huskies to 145 total yards. The first team offense played mistake free ball. Tony Nelson showed what he means to the offense.

All this with UMass missing even more players. Both Tyler Holmes and Jonathan Hernandez did DNP and did not dress for the game.

Two new UMass players received significant playing time and did well. Syracuse transfer Mike Mele started at MLB and led the team with 10 total tackles. He also hooked up with the Northeastern TE on two long passing plays and stayed with the receiver 40 yards down the field.

Cedric Gonnet was the second string TB and had 13 carries for 45 yards and a 4.5 yards/carry.

Armando Cuko was 3 for 3 and set the UMass single season field goal record.

One victory down and two to go. Let's enjoy the win.
