UMass ended the day with 10 first downs (three of them in garbage time with a couple of minutes to play) and 27 total yards rushing.
Yesterday, the undermaned UMass offense had 17 first downs, 123 yards rushing and 309 total yards. Stacey Bedell, T.J. Sharpe had good games. A.J. Doyle moved the team. Ed Saint-Vil and Joey Colton combined for 21 tackles.
Unlike the Maine game, were UMass looked like it had nothin', UMass sounded like a FBS team. It's something to build off of. The Minutemen made some mistakes, but the game was nothing to be ashamed of. One more BCS team to go and then we're into MAC play. UMass players and fans need to keep the faith. We'll get there.
