T.Y. Harding gets UMass off to fast start as Minutemen win consecutive games
for 1st time since 2023
AMHERST, Mass. (AP) --- T.Y. Harding scored on a 49-yard reception in the
opening minute, added an 82-yard punt-return touchdown soon after and
Massachusetts defeated Sacred Heart 37-10 on Saturday, the first back-to-back
wins for the Minutemen since 2023.
UMass (2-0) snapped a 16-game losing streak with a 37-21 win over Rutgers of
the Big Ten in its opener and followed up with the easy victory over the FCS
Pioneers (0-2). The last time the Minutemen won consecutive games came in the
2023 season with wins over Army and Merrimack.
William Watson III hit Harding on the deep ball down the middle for the game's
first points then Harding raced for his second TD just over three minutes later.
Watson was 9-of-10 passing for 152 yards and added 40 yards and a touchdown on
the ground.
Jahmad Harmon turned his third interception of the season into a 34-yard
touchdown and a 37-0 lead early in the second half. Harmon had two picks in the
win over Rutgers. Reece Adkins added rushing TD.
The Pioneers' only TD came late in the final quarter on Cole Snider's 1-yard
run.
Up next Sacred Heart: At Elon next Saturday in a Coastal Athletic Association matchup. UMass: Home against Stonehill next Saturday. ___ Sign up for Top 25 poll alerts here, visit the Top 25 here and see AP's full college football coverage here |
