Well, boys and girls, that was a team loss. The defense, which had been the mainstay of team, tackled poorly and allowed a game-winning TD with about 4:00 minutes to play.
Blake Lucas missed two FG's, either one would have ended up winning the game. The chip-shot in the fourth quarter was the back-breaker.
I wouldn't have gone for two. UMass had the momentum. I would have sent it into overtime and kept playing.
In Coach Molnar's defense, it looked like UMass had two open receivers. Doyle just didn't hit them.
UPDATE: I have been thinking about my above comment. The Bronco coverage was decent. I should not have characterized the receivers as "open". The receivers would have had to go and get the ball and maybe out-wrestle the defender. However, A.J. threw it high and away, nobody even had a chance to make a play.
Another win is going to be tough to come by in 2013.
