UMass didn't win the game against Buffalo, but it was still a big turnaround from the Kent State game. Against the Golden Flashes, the Minutemen did not look as if they had anything.
Against Buffalo, UMass played with fire and determination. UMass played well with what we have. The Minutemen still need more talent on both sides of the ball, but if the Minutemen keep playing like they did Saturday, we have a chance to win some games this year, especially if we get Rocco Griffin and Jacquon Gibson back.
UMass ended up 5-17 on third downs. One more at the end of the game would have won it. We ended up punting 9 times (for 438 yard in another great game) by Keegan Andrews.
The Minutemen made plays yesterday. They were one play short of winning.
And take a bow UMass fans, an amazin' 15,239 fans showed up. Imagine if we were winning!
