Bryant managed only 3 points, a 43-yard field goal by Bryce Soli, and failed to score a touchdown. Quarterback Brennan Myer completed 20 of 33 passes for 187 yards but could not lead the team into the end zone.

Despite the loss, the defense held New Mexico State to 19 points, including a missed extra point, and forced punts on several drives. The Bulldogs limited the Aggies to field goals in the second half until a late touchdown.

Bryce Soli's 43-yard field goal was the only scoring for Bryant, showing reliability in the kicking game but highlighting the need for offensive improvement.

The recap does not mention turnovers or penalties for Bryant, suggesting a clean game but also a lack of explosive plays to shift momentum.

UMass managed only 169 total yards of offense, with a lone touchdown pass from AJ Hairston to Magnus Von Saldern and a 55-yard field goal by Derek Morris. The offense has been unable to generate consistent drives, which will be a major concern heading into their next game.

The defense allowed 467 yards and 44 points, including 153 rushing yards and two touchdowns from Jordan Gant. The inability to stop the run and contain big plays will need to be addressed to be competitive in future matchups.

Falling behind 14-0 in the first quarter forced UMass to play catch-up, and despite scoring 10 points late in the opening quarter, they could not sustain momentum. The team must focus on better early-game execution to avoid similar deficits.

At 0-9 overall and 0-5 in conference play, UMass is still seeking its first win. The mounting losses may affect team morale, but the players will need to stay motivated to break the streak in their next game.
