Sunday--November 1st, 2015

Well, yesterday was another down day for UMass football. Most disturbing was the ineffectiveness of the offense. UMass has gotta score to win.

Was Tajae Sharpe hurt or sick? He dropped a pass that would have continued a UMass drive and had two offside penalties. Frohhapfel threw another INT in the endzone to kill another drive. And I think it was Elgin Long who dropped a fourth down pass that hit him right in the numbers to stall yet another UMass drive.

The defense didn't do that bad. One of the Ball state drives was due to a short field. However, two of the defensive interference calls were definitely on us. Brackett and Jette were all over the receiver.

Not much going right for the Minutemen at this time.
