UMass Ends 16-Game Losing Streak | Rutgers Scarlet News

from Rutgers Scarlet Knights Football Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

UMass ends a 16-game losing streak with a dominant 37-21 win over Rutgers in their season opener, marking their first FBS victory since 2023. Third-string QB Pop Watson shined, throwing for 197 yards and three TDs while connecting with seven different receivers and adding rushing yards, helping UMass score on seven of ten drives. Rutgers’ new QB Dylan Lonergan struggled mightily, throwing four interceptions and fumbling once despite two TDs. UMass built a 24-7 halftime lead and extended it to 37-14 late in the fourth. KJ Duff’s three TD passes couldn’t overcome the deficit. Up next: UMass faces Sacred Heart, while Rutgers heads to Boston College.
