We ran into a combination of things Saturday, I think. My abbreviated thoughts:

TT not 100% hurts, but even at 80%, he's a very solid QB who takes phenomenal care of the ball.

Beau is a workhorse, but I hope Boykin can get back quickly -- he could use a breather as the season goes on.

Our secondary is missing a lot of key pieces. I imagine that contributes to a game plan of leaving a bigger cushion and keeping everything in front of them. Can't say I disagree with the plan, given the hand we've been dealt.

We didn't play our best, but UMass is also, I think, better than most give them credit for. I think they'll win a couple games in the conference this year.

Many people who seemed flabbergasted by missed tackles don't seem aware that their two biggest players on the offensive side are grad student transfers from Notre Dame (WR #3, Deion Walker) and Michigan (RB #5, Michael Cox). Together, those two accounted for 242 yards, or very near half the team's offense, and the bulk of the big plays.

Not to mention Ohio was playing its third road game in five and traveling to a virtual unknown. They won the game that's all that matters. Sure UMass was an FCS school last year, but there is a reason they moved up.

True.

Except that we should have won by 14-17 points.

Probably, given the talent level and continuity of the program. But, games are played on the field and not paper as we have all discovered many times.

Look at UTSA. First year FBS is now 5-0 and crushed New Mexico State on the road. How do you think they feel? UTSA might not win another game on the schedule, as they've played a ton of FCS opponents to get to 5-0 and are now in the meat of their WAC schedule.
