Making It 16 Games

UMass fell to 0-5 today with a 45-7 loss at home to Toledo. The game was never close.

The Minutemen could only get 134 yards in the air and 23 on the ground, while Toledo had a balanced offense of 232 passing and 223 running.

First downs is always a critical stat and UMass lost that one 23-8. Toledo ate up chunks of yardage every time they touched the ball with an average gain of 6.2 yards compared to 2.6 for UMass.  It was a recipe to extend their losing streak to 16 games.

Next Saturday will be quite a game at home with  0-5 UConn. Somebody will win and be 1-5.
