One of the commenters mentioned the excellent coaching by UMass staff for the Michigan game.
The UMass Blog concurs. It looks to me as if Coach Morris, Coach Picucci, Coach Dudzinski and all the rest of the staff gamed just about every ounce of advantage out of what UMass had to offer. Take a bow coaches!
Note that the Michigan coach made a point of going to the UMass locker room and praising Coach Morris and the team.
