NESN replayed a two-hour version of Saturday's game last evening. The announcers referenced Ellis Merriweather's carries were the most since Marquis Young's total against Buffalo on November 17th, 2015. UMass won that game. If you can run the ball, your offense looks good.
Brady Olson connected with seven different receivers at the UConn game. I still believe the Minutemen WR room has talent. With a more experienced QB, I think UMass could have a good passing game.
The UConn game stats moved UMass out of the NCAA cellar in a number of categories. The Minutemen are now #127 in total offense, #124 in scoring offense and #125 in total defense.

Arizona is alone atop the NCAA losing streak at 16 games following the UMass win. The Wildcat streak reached 17 games when Arizona lost to UCLA that night.
You remember Don Brown is Defensive Coordinator at Arizona.
