UMass Football News--October 13th, 2019

OK, I was proud of the way the Minutemen battled all game. Down to a fourth-string running back Gilberto Torres and led by a limping Randall West, UMass stayed energized the whole game. The offense had 19 first downs. This was a big improvement over the FIU game. We gave the high powered Bulldog offense too many short fields.

Up 52-14, Louisiana Tech still had their regulars in and were still throwing the ball.

A textbook targeting non-call stopped what would have been another UMass score.

I really hope Isaiah Rogers was not severely hurt. He is the heart and soul of the UMass team.

We have an off week coming up. Let's get some players healthy and beat UConn.
