Rapid Reaction: Northwestern stomps UMass 45-6, narrowly fails to cover the spread

EVANSTON — Today was a fun day at Ryan Field.

In the game of the century, Northwestern (2-8, 0-7) secured its second victory of the season against UMass (1-10), who was as bad as advertised.

In a game where both teams looked equally terrible for most of the game, the Wildcats prevailed 31-6 thanks to some solid play from its front-seven and a career day from running back Evan Hull. The true freshman had quite the breakout game, finishing with 224 yards and 4 touchdowns.

Despite the final score, there were still plenty of woes and concerns for this Northwestern team.
