Sunday after the Maine Game--11/01/09

The Boston Globe says the Black Bears picked off UMass.

The Kennebec Journal said Maine stopped UMass.

The Maine Campus said Maine's defense powered by UMass.

The Springfield Republican says six turnovers did in UMass.

Matty Vautour says turnovers throttled (a good choice of words) UMass.

Thirteen turnovers in two games will certainly wreck your effort. UMass is now tied for third in the CAA North and a very long shot for a playoff birth. The Maine loss will probably knock UMass out of the FCS Top-25 polls.
