Just hysterical, we kick the ball out of bounds to start the game, then the punt returner catches the punt on the 2-yard line. That itself is enough to fire Whipple.

But at least we get to see it in HD this week.

Fumble recovery right there. Perfectly placed hit to knock that ball out.

Legitimate good things to say early about UMass even after the special teams mistakes to start us off.

What an outstanding quarter for the D!

Chris Berman is on the sideline as a special assistant coach for us today. Fully decked out in UMass gear too.

Defense has been great. Offense is pathetic. Without Breneman, Ford is useless.

Hopefully Tennessee can cough up another turnover and give our defense a chance to do something. There was also that near interception a bit earlier in there, in addition to the fumble.

The dozens of tweets by UT fans are hilarious. "Jesus, please come soon!" "UT football budget 128 million. UMass 8 million. 2nd quarter 0 to 0"

Field the kick when it lands within the 5. Don't field the kick when it bounces near the 20.

Makes sense.

Evidently after 11 numbers are ambiguous to the team and staff.
Raise the bar, do the minimum.

The SEC network superimposed the field goal line on the screen for UMass. :lol:

Well that's one way to respond to a touchdown. Getting one of your own.

But of course we miss the extra point.
