Addo INT helps UMass past Liberty 62-59 in 3OT thriller

In a game that delivered three overtimes, 121 points and 1,265 yards, it was a single defensive play that was the difference.

Senior Jarell Addo's acrobatic interception of Liberty quarterback Stephen Calvert in the end zone ended the Liberty scoring threat. The senior ripped the ball out of the sky in the third overtime. A few minutes later, Cooper Garcia hammered through a 22-yard field goal to complete a 62-59 win.

Addo made a couple of stellar plays in the run game just prior to the interception as well, finishing with 12 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss and a forced fumble.
