Two inflection points in yesterday's game: The first, Gerrell Johnson's incredible hustle play to strip Sampson Evans and preventing the score to going to 17-0. If he had not made that play the rest of the game would have probably been moot.
The second was Carlos Davis' third INT. UMass was inside the Eagles 10 yards line and came away with zero points. If UMass had kicked a field goal, we would have been up seven points and the game would have gone into overtime.

UMass won the stats creating 464 yards of total offense. The defense played well holding EMU to 19 points, only 14 first downs and three total 3rd down conversions.
EMU is a pretty good team. UMass needs to cut down on the mistakes and we'll get some wins in the future.
