Game Day BYU--November 19th, 2016

Good Morning from Provo, UT. Our motel is withing walking distance of Cougar Stadium, so we'll be hiking up to the game. Hope to see some other UMass fans.

Another week another Power Five team. BYU would hold its own in the Big12. Last week, with their running backs injured, BYU went back to their pass-every-down roots and threw for over 400 yards. The Cougars have a lot of talent on both sides of the ball.

Hopefully, the bye week allowed UMass to get some players back. Getting Da'Sean Downey back would really help the defense as would Tedrick Lowery. Downey has 7.5 TFL and 5 SACKS in eight GP. Lowery has 31 TT in six GP.

The Minutemen need to avoid turnovers and stop those five minute meltdowns when everything goes wrong.

If you're watching on ESPN3, Mrs Blog and I will be the couple in Maroon & White.

Go UMass!!!
