|
• UMass will host its first-ever mid-week night game when Ball State visits McGuirk Stadium for the nationally televised game on Wednesday. The game will be televised on ESPNU as part of the league's #MACtion series of games which are played on Tuesday and Wednesday night's in November ensuring the teams receive the most national exposure possible. • The UMass Sports Network will feature Voice of the Minutemen Josh Maurer handling play-by-play duties alongside analyst Matt Goldstein, and sideline reporter Cody Chrusciel. The game can be heard live starting at 7:40 PM (ET) on 105.5 FM WEEI (Springfield), 1440 AM WVEI (Worcester), and 1200 AM WXKS (Boston/Manchester/Providence). The broadcast is also available online through www.UMassAthletics.com and on smart phones and tablets through the TuneIn app. • The game will be televised on ESPNU and streamed online via www.WatchESPN.com or on mobile devices via the WatchESPN App. Mike Couzens will call the play-by-play action, while UMass Hall of Fame running back Rene Ingoglia will provide color commentary. This will be the first time since 2012 (vs. Ohio at Gillette Stadium) that Ingoglia, a two-time All-American at UMass, has been able to call a game for the Minutemen. It will be his first call in McGuirk Stadium since being a member of the UMass Sports Network in 2010. • UMass dropped a shootout at Toledo, 42-35, in its last game played which was over two weeks ago. Blake Frohnapfel threw for 438 yards and five touchdowns, however, the Rockets were able to score in the final minute of regulation to seal the win. • The tandem of Blake Frohnapfel and Tajae Sharpe have begun to catch the attention of the MAC and the NCAA. Sharpe was named to the Biletnikoff Watch List after his breakout start to the season. Frohnapfel ranks 5th in the NCAA for passing yards this year (2,483), while Sharpe also ranks 5th for receiving yards (890). • UMass was one of two teams in the country (Louisiana Monroe) to play four non-conference games against teams from the Power Five conferences (ACC, PAC-12, SEC, Big Ten).
• Today is Heroes In Action Night at McGuirk Alumni Stadium. Throughout the game, veterans, active military members and first responders will be honored in various ceremonies. Also, the Wing Commander of Westover Air Force Base, Colonel Albert V. Lupenski, will be among the honored military guests tonight. • Complete Game Notes As PDF |
