had 199 yards rushing, but only 9 first downs. Army scored twice late to pull away.
The Army triple option is difficult to deal with. The Black Knights are currently #2 in rushing offense with almost 302 yards/game. They score an average of almost 28 points/game (#73). Army is #25 in third-down conversion at .453. They give up 379 yards/game an allow 23.4 points on average.
UMass needs some offense to win today. If the Minutemen can score more than 20 points, we should have a chance to close the season with a win.
I'll be there cheering for the Minutemen. Go UMass!
