William DePaepe wins week 3 MAC defensive player of the week after his two sack, one forced fumble performance versus Stonehill this past Saturday.

Derek Morris wins MAC special teams player of the week going 3-3 on field goals with a 55-yard make included.

The Bears looked right toward Rogers on the final play, but thought better than to throw towards the former Minuteman.

Viking win 9-3.

Isaiah Rogers does his best Jahmad Harmon impression and almost gets a second toe down for a game ending interception to end the game versus the Bears!

Bears with one second left…

[Matt Ford-Wellman @MattFW_4]

Rogers played for UMass from 2016-2020 and finished his career with 188 tackles and 11 interceptions.

The Tampa Bay native has played for the Colts, Eagles and Vikings amounting four interceptions across his 29 starts in the NFL.

The UMass Football team’s success is spreading to its alumni as well!

Minnesota Vikings CB Isaiah Rogers just blocked a field goal in the 6-3 ballgame against the Bears right after Caleb Williams left with a lower body injury.

In his postgame press conference, TY Harding said Pop Watson “ain’t a typical quarterback that’s scared to get hit … [Watson] likes contact.”

Harding’s 56-yard rushing touchdown put that physicality on full display.

The athletic department graciously grants the @WMUAsports broadcasters parking passes in the student tailgate lot.

In years past, what used to be empty and desolate pregame is now the biggest party on campus.

It’s amazing what 2 wins can do for a culture.

@IraGorawara The real question UMass fans are wondering is what will @UmassReindeer do when and if the Flagship University wins a bowl game?!?!?

[Matt Ford-Wellman @MattFW_4]

@football_sis One former Minuteman and one current minuteman to round out the all-name team offense!

Shoutout notaries UMass running back Cookie Desiderio🙌

[Matt Ford-Wellman @MattFW_4]

The @UMassFH revenge tour is not getting enough credit.

Emily Barrett won MAC 2nd-Team honors last year and she’s only 3rd in points so far this year.

Amber Fairon looks otherworldly collecting 19 pts with 9 goals through 7 games.

Fairon notched another 2 goals vs. Ohio today.

Really a bummer Holly Rowe’s postgame interview got cut off. Definitely seemed like a technical issue with her cue. I can’t remember watching a prime time ESPN game and seeing two interviews get skipped over.

No fault to Sark or either reporter.

[Matt Ford-Wellman @MattFW_4]

Oh hello @UmassReindeer…

[Matt Ford-Wellman @MattFW_4]

@6HardingTy has touched the ball twice thought the first 4 minutes of the game.

He’s returned a punt for a TD and caught an absolute bomb from @WW3thefuture on the second play of the game for a TD

A crazy start for a Minuteman who bleeds maroon and black.

This aged like wine Drew Lock is still him I guess. NFL football is back!

[Matt Ford-Wellman @MattFW_4]

Drake Maye is looking more Dylan Lonergan than Tom Brady. Two interceptions away from a similar stat line too.

Tommy DeVito sits on the bench available too!
