UMass Football News--November 4th, 2018

Wow what a game! Heroes galore. Andy Isabella set a program record of 303 yards and 2 TD's. The first TD was a thing of wonder. Comis overthrew Isabella by a good ten yards. Isabella saw the ball was over and just went to warp speed to catch up with it. He should have created a sonic boom when he hit the afterburner. Comis supplied 540 passing yards. Samuel Emilus had two overtime TD catches. Sadiq Palmer had two drive-continuing clutch catches. Marquis Young had a fumble that caused a Liberty score and then ran with fury for the rest of the fourth quarter. The offense had a program record 777 yards.

Jarell put on his super hero outfit and was everywhere on the field during the comeback. His INT in the third overtime won the game.

Cooper Garcia was iced twice before the game winning kick. First the officials gave Liberty a time out I thought they didn't have and then stopped play again to review the decision. Garcia, who was perfect on the day, calmly drilled the winning field goal.

It was a happy two hour ride back to New Hampshire.
