The first 10 minutes of game time was all maroon-and-white.
The final 50 minutes was mostly black-and-blue.
BYU’s defense grinded the explosive UMass offense and the Cougar offense produced 35 straight points en route to a 35-16 victory over the Minutemen on Saturday at Gillette Stadium.
First half was promising…
The Minutemen looked like they would run away early from the Cougars.
UMass took the opening kickoff and controlled the tempo with a 14-play, 72-yards drive that culminated in a Cooper Garcia field goal. On BYU’s first play from scrimmage, Jake Byczko would recover a fumble to put UMass in great field possession.
