UMass Football News--October 9th, 2017


After six games, UMass is #64 in total offense, #84 in scoring offense and #113 in rushing.

Andrew Ford is #12 in passing yards.

I forgot to report on FIU when I listed the UMass opponent's scores yesterday. The Panthers lost at Middle Tennessee 37-17. That brings FIU to 1-1 in C-USA. If the Panthers make the conference championship game, the December 2nd game against UMass is canceled.

The State says Tennessee was in a "dog fight" against UMass.

Two UMass opponents hook up next Saturday when BYU plays at Mississippi State.

I watched the best college football game of last Saturday: Western Michigan's wild seven overtime win over Buffalo.

In one of the overtimes, a Western Michigan TE caught a TD, then his sister ran onto the field and started hugging him.
