Red Wolves elected to receive the first half kickoff, which is unusual for us.

75 yard drive in a little over 3 minutes leads to a Jacquez Cross TD run. 7-0 AState,

A 14 point lead early helps. Interception led to the TD. Eddie Smith with the INT I think.

Interception leads to a short TD pass to Emmanuel Stevenson. 14-0

Refs picked up a flag for OPI on our TD incorrectly, but hey, we're not saying anything.

3 more.

17-0 44 yard FG by Zevada

17-0 End of 1st quarter.

At some point we'd appreciate it if our OC would get out of this annoying Run, Run, Pass sequence he gets going.

Yeah, short throws to the tight end were working. Get back to that.

Defense flat footed. UMass run for 6.

Great response. 73 yard TD Drive. Raynor to Foreman for a 37 yard TD 24-7

Different team with this kid at QB. Chief, we seem to be talking to each other. LOL.

No longer looking like an easy win for Troy. Great stuff Red Wolves, keep it up!

30-7 now. I hope they don't let up.

Figured as much:

Most everyone else plays tonight. JMU is already drunk celebrating. South is wearing all black bordering on depression, and Georgia Southern has already sold Statesboro out of beers.

UMass announcers are very complimentary of our win over Mississippi State last week. LOL.

I heard that. They are not interested in this game at all at this point.

Missed a FG to close the first half. That hurts. Zvada is having some thinking issues.

stAte 31
Mass 10
half

That was going to be a textbook 2 minute drill, and then Raynor mismanaged a running clock a bit, we got a holding penalty on first and goal, and then shanked a field goal.

In the end, it did importantly not allow UMass any chance of getting the ball back since they get the ball to start the 2nd half.

UMass has been very good in the 2nd half all season, need offense to keep scoring.

Simple highlight of the day was NCAAA president Charlie Baker (Former governor of Mass) coming on the ESPN+ broadcast to tout the NCAA's response to NIL and Covid, while showing zero interest in the game being played around him.
