Game Day --Old Dominion

Well, once more into the breach dear friends. In two games the Minutemen just have not made any plays. Against Hawaii we fumbled the ball and repeatedly let receivers loose in our backfield.

Last week, Comis after coming off a lost year with an ACL injury, was having a good series and then did not protect the ball while running. Our freshman kicker had stated in an interview earlier in the week he was "comfortable from the 50 in" missed a 30-yarder. Our best WR Andy Isabella dropped what would have been a 50 yard completion. The missed field goal and Isabella's drop probably left 10 points on the table. As bad as we played, we would have been tied in the fourth quarter.

Today, someone needs to make some positive plays. The defense needs to force some turnovers. The offense needs to finish drives. We need to move the inflection points toward UMass. Let's do it.

I'll be there cheering for the Minutemen. Go UMass!

The Virginia Pilot reports Old Dominion is deep enough so that there is competition to make the travel squad.

I watched Ohio lose to Purdue last night 44-21. The Boilermakers pulled off a nifty double-reverse flea flicker against the Bobcats.
