UMass Football News--September 30th, 2018

Well, 2018 was a repeat of 2017. The Minutemen scored 42 points but could not contain another dual-threat QB. By the fourth quarter the Ohio defense was shutting down the UMass offense. It is well  to remember the Bobcats are a good team. They had Cincinnati on the ropes. The Bobcats probably will win the MAC East.

We were not competitive along the defensive line. The Bobcats repeatedly collapsed the UMass front four. Leon Flanagan had a good game, but our DE's kept biting on the fake. Andy Isabella was open all game. UMass was also on the wrong side of a couple of questionable calls.
