Andy Isabella had 12 catches for 198 yards and three touchdowns in that loss, while current Minnesota Vikings defensive back Isaiah Rodgers had three tackles, including 2.0 TFLs, and an interception returned for a touchdown.
The 198 yards receiving is tied for the sixth-highest single-game total in the UMass records book.
