Well I was there and a lot of good things happened.
- Taisun Phommachanh went 192 yards on 10-17 throws and added 96 yards rushing. That was the best offensive performance by a UMass QB in years. He seemed to get more comfortable as the game progressed.
- We scored 28 points in the 4th quarter!
- UMass scored 41 points!
- The Minutemen averaged 7.2 yarrds/play. Almost double last year's stat.
- The defense had 3 sacks and 1 important forced fumble.
- The defense scored a TD and held the Aggies to 2-9 on third downs.
That was the best looking UMass team I have watched in years. Through most of the game, the offense and defense did not sit on the benches. Everyone was standing up urging thier teammate
A great win for the program and UMass fans.
