The Spiders rushed 27 times for 1 net yard.
UMass had 6 sacks and knocked Aaron Corp out of the game.
The UMass defenders had 13 TFL and 4 INTS for 103 yards in returns. The UMass defense's performance was as good as it gets.
The Minutemen offense was less stellar. UMass punted 6 times. Three times UMass had first-and-goal and came away with zero points. Minutemen TE Emil Igwenagu and Rob Blanchflower had only one catch each. The offense went 3-14 on third downs and 0-3 on fourth downs. One good thing was we did not turn the ball over, which meant Richmond never had a chance to rally.
The kicking game continued to have problems. UMass missed two makable FG's. UMass averaged 26.2 net yards per punt.
With two out of three remaining games at McGuirk, UMass has a chance, with the way the defense is playing, to end their time in the CAA with a statement.
