UMass Football News--September 5th, 2021

 Well, I knew Pitt was going to be a bad match-up as an opening game. I could not get the ACC video working, so I listened to the WHMP audio feed. I miss Josh Maurer, BTW. 

The UMass offense was pretty much stuffed by an outstanding Panther defense. When we did do something right we had dropped passes. Leaving the defense on the field for the entire first half makes some ugly stats.

The defense, I think, played pretty good. We had 3 TFL, 1 SACK and a FF. The defensive secondary had a number of BKUP's. The defense also had a goal-line stand.

The UMass offense did manage a score and over 200 yards of offense against probably the best defense we'll see all year. Chalk it up to a learning experience and get ready for BC.
