Crusaders still alive

Football
Jeremy Rice

The Crusaders are still alive after three quarters of action. The Minutemen gave up 14 points and now lead by just two touchdowns, 37-23 . More mistakes, sloppy play and penalties have cost UMass an easy fourth quarter.

It seems like the Maroon and White set the speed on cruise control a little early.

On a day when defending NCAA champ Appalachian State shocked Division I-A Michigan, 34-32 on a blocked field goal on the last play, the Minutemen are struggling against a Patriot League opponent at home.
