AMHERST, Mass. (AP) - Jeff Krohn passed for four touchdowns, including three to Jason Peebler, as Massachusetts won its eighth straight game and remained unbeaten in the Atlantic 10 with a 30-17 victory over Richmond on Saturday.
Krohn completed 13 of 28 passes for 201 yards for UMass (9-1, 7-0 A-10) while Steve Baylark rushed for 144 yards and Rich Demers ran for 124 yards.
Richmond (2-7, 1-6) led 17-7 at halftime on a 26-yard field goal by Joe Fore, a 1-yard run by David Edwards and a 4-yard run by Stacy Tutt.
But UMass held the Spiders scoreless in the second half, as Krohn connected twice with Peebler and on a four-yard pass to Rich Demers.
Krohn's 23-yard scoring pass to Peebler with 7:01 left in the third closed the lead to three points.
The Minutemen tied the game with 1:11 left in the third on Michael Torres' 28-yard field goal, and took the lead on the pass to Demers early in the fourth.
