Well, UMass did a very credible job against a very good Georgia team. Three fumbles (one that stopped a UMass scoring drive and two others that gave Georgia a cheap TD) altered the results more than play on the field warranted.
UMass ran for a net 226 yards. Jalen John had a 11.9 yards/carry. We had some long plays with a 68 yard rush by John, a 22 yard rush be CJ Hester and a 38 yard scamper by AJ Hairston.
The UMass defense could not slow down the Dogs offense though. Georgia had 34 first downs and 550 total yards of offense. They're a very good team and showed it. The Dogs kept their first line in most of the game.
UMass really needs to recruit a kicker for 2025...
After a chaotic week, the UMass staff and players made an excellent effort and I was proud of them.

The Hampshire Gazette said UMass was impressive early.
BTW, Georgia is in the SEC Championship game.
