Comeback OT Win for Minutemen!

After giving up a 58-yard rushing TD and a 72-yard passing TD in the first two minutes of the game, most figured UMass would roll over and die. Then Mike Wegzyn took the field. The sophomore signal caller had his best game of the season, throwing for 300+ yards, 3 TDs and running for over 90 yards and scoring the game-winning TD on the ground.

Mike Wegzyn led two beautiful drives down the stretch. He was in a flow so coach Charley Molnar let him get in the hurry up and call his own plays. Wegzyn was masterful, finding open men and threading the needle between defenders. Reality set in on the Chippewas when Wegzyn hit seldom used TE Sharif Custis down the seem for the game-tying score with just 41 seconds remaining. After CMU went 3-and-out, UMass took a knee and took it to overtime.

In overtime, the Minutemen won the toss and decided to play defense first. After a couple quick strikes through the air, the Chippewas were inside the six yard line when UMass' defense dug in and kept them away from pay dirt, forcing an overtime field goal. Wegzyn took the field and hit Derek Beck on the right side for a 15-yard pickup. On the second play, Tajae Sharpe hauled in a 5-yard pass on a crossing route. The following play, Wegzyn called for 5-wide, spreading the defense thin across the field. He dropped back, didn't see anything he liked and took off. He eluded the defensive end and took a big hit from the middle linebacker, plunging into the endzone for the win!

For his performance, QB Mike Wegzyn has earned MAC Offensive Player of the Week honors!!!
