In UMass' home opener against the Maine Black Bears, the Minutemen get stunned by a score 35-28. QB Mike Wegzyn threw a crucial interception in the waning moments of the game as he had his offense marching down the field. A score would have tied up the game and forced overtime, but his second interception of the game sealed the deal on the 0-2 start on the season.

The schedule doesn't get any easier with the Minutemen packing their bags and heading to Kansas State. The following week, the SEC's own Vanderbilt Commodores will come marching into Gillette to put a beatdown on UMass.
