BG has now had 6 straight positive games...with +8 BG had against UMass, which was the second best game of the season...at least based on our system. (The whole dumb thing is explained here.)

For the second straight week, BG did not have any negative plays. BG did not have any big special teams plays, either. BG had 3 touchbacks on kickoffs, buried a punt and a kickoff return, while UMass finished up +3...being hauled down by two bad punts and a bad kickoff return
