Then some players made football plays. Kassan Messiah blocked a field goal to stifle any Golden Flash comeback momentum.
He led the the Minutemen with 10 TT 1 TFL and 1 QB Hurry. Then Lorenzo Woodley carried the ball seven straight times and went 80 yards for the clinching TD. That was a Marcel Shipp type of performance. Jackson Porter got some revenge as he added a pick-six to add to UMass' fourth quarter dominance.
The kicking game was better, not a weapon mind you, but a big step up from tear-your-hair-out bad. At least we can kick a 20-yard field goal.
Congrats to everyone and it'll be a lot easier reading the game coverage this week as I do the links for this blog post :)
