UMass leads at half

UMass 14, Colgate 10


The Minutemen continue to struggle offensively, but take a four-point lead into halftime. Following an interception by Courtney Robinson, Liam Coen and Matt Lawrence led UMass down to the Colgate four-yard line, where Coen rolled out to his right and hit fullback Breyone Evans a yard deep in the end zone.

The Raiders are dominating the Minutemen offensively, amassing 230 yards in the first two quarters, compared to 90 for UMass. The Maroon and White did not reach positive yards rushing until well into the second quarter.

And yet, UMass appears to be in control of the game, capitalizing on Colgate mistakes and turnovers. Both UMass touchdowns, in fact, are off Colgate turnovers. Jeremy Horne's touchdown reception in the first quarter followed a Cody Williams fumble during a punt return, and Evans' score in the second came off the Robinson interception.
