Well UMass' first half offensive stutters masked what was the finest defensive performance Minuteman fans have seen for some time.
Stonehill had 491 yards of offense against New Hampshire and was held by UMass to 161 total yards. Stonehill QB Jack threw for 390 yards against the Wildcats had only 134 against the Minutemen. UMass allowed only 27 yards of rushing offense and that should keep the Minutemen in the top-10 nationally in rushing defense.
In addition UMass had 5 TFL, 2 SACKS, 1 INT and 2 FF. An outstanding effort.
On offense, UMass had a slow first half, but ended up scoring 36 points, one point off their season average.
3-0!
