I think I read that UMass suffered 10 tackles for losses.

Easily my favorite UMass coach of all-time, in any sport. Yes, even including my former teacher Mike Stone.

Coach Quinn I'm told likes being with the NYR; backing of Gorton and Davidson, young roster to work with. He has not had to compromise his principles around accountability.
