Well Taisun Phommachanh played his best game of the season. He was the heart and soul of the UMass offense. He went 9-22 for 173 yards and he had a couple of drops by the WR's.
He engineered a 10-point fourth quarter comeback and was the Minutemen's leading rusher. He did all that could have been asked of him.
The defense played well too. The Red Hawks went 1 for 8 on third down conversions. The defense had 10 (!) TFL, two sacks and an INT.
And, I would like to point out, Miami's second TD was blatant offensive pass interference. If you watched the Georgia-Alabama game later in the evening the refs called one that was a lot less obvious.
In overtime we missed our field goal and Miami made theirs. UMass played their best game and gave me hopes for the rest of the season.
