Sunday--October 25th, 2015

Wow! this is turning out to be a terrible year for injuries. Yesterday Kelton Bracket and Trey Seals DNP. Marken Michel got hurt in the first quarter and did not return. From then on it seemed as if we were losing players every other play.

The injury to Sekai Lindsay seemed to really take the wind out of UMass' sails. I think the defense played most of the game with minimal substitutions. No wonder they got tired in the second half.

Jovan Santos-Knox had 20 TT's. That was the most single-game tackles by a player since 2004.

UMass gave the undefeated Rockets all they could handle in the first half. Remember everyone in the weekly score poll was predicting a total blowout by the Rockets. The Minutemen did a good job defensively against Toledo's running game. UMass played a crappy game against Kent State last week. Against the Rockets the Minutemen played with spirit. I think it was a good effort by everyone. I hope we get some people back for the Ball State game.
