I don't see why they insist that we're a "triple option" offense. We're not running triple option like Navy here.

Twice on one drive! Maybe that stat will even out over the course of today and the next few games!

I think there's a reason why we like going up the middle right now....

I cannot believe I'm going to say this: Our offensive line looks good. Looks like we're wearing them down, like we did late in the game vs. UL-L. But it's only the end of the 1st quarter!

Again, our offensive line is taking it to them. We need to continue that. Meanwhile, our defense is resting.

Exactly. It's like night and day. Maybe something clicked for them. What is also good is that UMass is hurting at lb and we have the perfect type of rbs for that type of problem :mrgreen:

The offense looks so much better when your line looks good.

Grinding them down. These long drives are going to pay off big time.

But only a FG. Not sure if I would have passed on second and goal from the five, with the success we're having on the ground.

Our sidelines are getting pumped up. I am definitely feeling momentum shifting.

AMEN!

AND: Cuiellette looks so much faster than the stiff-looking kid that played up to OT last week.

If GC doesn't go out for those two plays, we'd have gotten points on that drive. Lets hope Glen's ok enough to continue. If we can hold them and get some points before half, I'll feel pretty good about our chances.

Big 3rd down.

BIG STOP!

If we can put some points on the board going into halftime, we can take momentum going into the 2nd half.

This is not CJ's Wave Team. This is a Fritz team that didn't panic when we went down by 14 points 3:30 into the game. It's fun to watch the team grow up in front of us, isn't it? Now, if we can eliminate penalties...

Our offense is one dimensional without Cuillette.
