Two weeks ago, the Minutemen were hapless for three quarters against the krptonite that is the Blue Hens...
Last week, the Wildcats played the part of our Lois Lane...bending over to entertain the homecoming crowd at Alumni Stadium...As the University of Massachusetts football team walked off the field at Delaware Stadium Oct. 10, the Minutemen looked like roadkill.
After a strong start to the season, UMass looked like it had been exposed as a pretender in the Colonial Athletic Association chase after a 43-27 loss to the Blue Hens
The defense, which looked flawed against Delaware, carried the Minutemen Saturday. It had two interceptions and seven tackles behind the line of scrimmage.
In the fourth quarter with UMass clinging to a lead, the defense forced the Wildcats into back-to-back three-and-outs.
http://www.gazettenet.com/2009/10/19/de ... tion-upsetUMass coach Kevin Morris gets credit too and not just for successfully preparing his team for a big game. He chose not to dress the four players who were arrested on a drug charge earlier this month, even though the athletic department's policy required just a one-game suspension which was served at Delaware.
The four - including defensive back Shane Viveiros who started three games at strong safety - might have helped bolster a defense that was battling injuries, but Morris chose to make a statement about what was important.
So...the question is...which team shows up at Richmond???
