UMass Offense Falls Behind Schedule in Loss To UConn
EAST HARTFORD, Conn. — UMass got off schedule early in its 35-16 loss to UConn on Friday. It stayed that way for the entirety of the Minutemen’s fourth consecutive loss.

But the issue wasn’t necessarily on the third downs themselves. The problem was the lack of movement upfield on the two prior plays, which constantly set quarterback Pop Watson III up for such a large sum percentage of highly-improbable conversions.
