UMass 24, Maine 0
ORONO, Maine -- Despite trailing by 24 at the half, the score above doesn't quite incapsulate just how poorly the Maine Black Bears played against Massachusetts in the first half.
UMass (3-0) scored two touchdowns in the first 2:02 of the game, scoring on a 62-yard run by Matt Lawrence and on a 2-yard pass to fullback Chris Zardas from quarterback Liam Coen. Maine fumbled the ball on the first play from scrimmage following Lawrence's TD.
Following a second Lawrence touchdown run (4-yards; making the score 21-0), Maine fumbled again. Coen was intercepted on the drive following the fumble.
The Black Bears attempted a 24-yard field goal with under 30 second remaining in the half, but the kick from senior Bobby Donnelly missed to the left.
Maine tailback Jhamal Fluellen and quarterback Adam Farkes each carried the ball 11 times -- with Fluellen gaining 43 yards and Farkes 40. Farkes has attempted only nine passes, completing three for 22 yards.
Lawrence was the first-half star for the Minutemen, gaining 120 yards and two scores on 10 carries.
