Well, UMass looked flat and uninspired in a loss to Eastern Michigan. We fumbled a scoring chance, missed a field goal (a long one admittedly) and threw a costly interception. Eastern Michigan QB Noah Kim was in control all game and picked apart the UMass secondary. The Eagles repeatedly converted third-and-long situations.
The Eastern Michigan defense was as good as advertised. The Eagles held UMass to its lowest offense stats of the year.
Pop Watson was not sharp and did not influence the game. Conference play is tough. We have a chance to play better against Miami (Ohio) next week and they are one of the MAC's top teams. Shake it off and play better next week.
