UMass Wins First Game of Season!
In a tightly contested battle, UMass takes down MAC opponent Miami (OH) at home, 17-7. The win is the first of the season for the Minutemen and brings their conference record to 1-1. Stacey Bedell, in his first start at HB of his career, played tremendously and will continue to start while fellow freshman Lorenzo Woodley will spell him throughout the game and on the goal line.
Sophomore QB Mike Wegzyn is still having issues turning the ball over, but luckily the defense bailed him out with two interceptions of their own, including one in the endzone. The defense seems to be gelling now and hopefully the game-changing plays will continue to rear their head in our favor.
The defense had their backs against the wall. With 3:30 left in the game and a ten point lead, the Miami (OH) offense was on the the doorstep, looking to pound in a TD. After allowing a first down on the 1-yard line, the defense held strong, forcing a turnover on downs as they registered their 2nd sack of the afternoon on 4th down!
