My blog buddy, Melissa has watched a couple of UNH vs UMass games and offers up a bit of Insight on the teams. It tickles me to see females getting into the whole game of football.
Just a wee preview of what she says:
"Here's a Yankee's eye view on the Minutemen, with a big thank you to my husband, the talking sports encyclopedia."
• The UMass Minutemen are FAST. Quicker than a fart in a skillet, now that I think about it. They have the best defense in the strongest league in the 1-AA division (that's not an opinion according to the TSE, that's a fact. The league is brutal and getting out of it undefeated is a huge accomplishment--which they did)
• Quarterback Liam Coen is smart and accurate. He's the 1-AA leader in pass efficiency
But
• UMass only scored 24 points against a horrific UNH defense. Seriously, my grandmother could score 38 points against UNH's defense this year.
• Coen isn't Armanti Edwards. Edwards is a game changer and he seems to be the kind of game changer that defies an answer.
• The Mountaineers appear to be every bit as fast as UMass and maybe a step quicker.
Thanks Melissa. Wish I could see you in Chattanooga on Friday or heck, just anytime...
