Well, we'll always have September. October was winless. UConn was the better team yesterday. The Huskies had a better offense and special teams. Defense was about even.
There was some good news. Pop Watson was back as was Joe Griffin. That bodes well for the last third of the season.
The bad news was for the third game in a row, UMass decisively lost the special teams play. The offense was backed up starting drives most of the game and we had a punt blocked for a TD.
Five three-and-outs in a row probably decided the game. Pop Watson looked a little off in his passing in the first half and a slew of penalties prevented the Minutemen from gaining any traction.
We're off until November 4th, so the players can get some rest and recovery.
