No images from Buffalo. I had some camera trouble so I left my digital camera at the hotel. It was just as well as the predicted "showers" varied through the game from a steady drizzle to a frog-drowning downpour.
Sometimes in life what you do is not rewarded. That was the case for the UMass defense who played another spirited and gritty game. Nine of the Bulls 33 points were given up by the UMass offense. The Minutemen "D" held the Bulls to 4-14 first downs and had bad field position all day. The defense finally tired in the fourth quarter.
The UMass offense was terrible, led by A. J. Doyle. He struggled all day to get the play off. UMass took two time outs in the first half to stop the play clock. The Minutemen promptly took a sack after the time out on both of them. Doyle threw a pick-six, fumbled the ball to stop another UMass dive and took a delay of game penalty on a third-and-one that killed another. The lousy playing conditions did not bother Buffalo; they had no fumbles and no INT's.
To top everything off, Rob Blanchflower was ejected from the game for taking a swing at a Buffalo defender.
