Defense really turned up for that one against CMU. But yeah, Hawai'i going through it over there after dealing with Georgia. They got another wagon even with Carson Beck gone.

Coach James Xavier's Offensive Gameplan

"We're facing an Ohio squad that is clearly a team in flux. They didn't perform too well last year and saw a number of talented players enter the transfer portal. They have a lot of heart, and they've already managed to snag one victory from an unsuspecting team that was sleeping on them. We cannot become complacent just because they have a few players that arguably should not be in the roles that they are. We need to perform and finish the job."

‣ CFB 2025 Regular Season, Week 5 - Peden Stadium, Athens, Ohio
(3-0, 2-0 MAC) UMass Minutemen at Ohio Bobcats (1-3, 0-0 MAC)

MASS | 7 | 28 | 7 | 7 | 49
OHIO | 3 | 0 | 0 | 6 | 9

Superstar effort from Haston, receiving game has UMass punishing Ohio early and often

UMass delivered a dominant performance in Week 5, rolling to a 49-9 blowout victory over an overmatched Ohio Bobcats team that’s still reeling from significant offseason roster turnover.

The Minutemen came out firing, with quarterback Ahmad Haston putting together a stellar first half. Haston threw four touchdown passes before halftime, efficiently slicing through a young and inexperienced Ohio secondary. His favorite target was wide receiver Kezion Dia-Johnson, who hauled in two first-half touchdowns, showing off his speed and route-running as he torched Ohio's severely undermanned secondary.

The Bobcats, decimated by the transfer portal during the offseason, struggled to establish any rhythm on either side of the ball. Offensively, Ohio couldn't keep pace, settling for just three field goals as the UMass defense consistently shut down drives and generated pressure in key situations. Red zone inefficiency and missed assignments plagued the Bobcats throughout the contest.

UMass kept its foot on the gas in the second half, adding a pair of passing touchdowns from backup quarterbacks, sophomore A.J. Hairstron and senior Ryan Jankowski, who was thrust into the game after the starters were pulled in the second half. They managed to connect with transfer wide receiver Donte Lee Jr. and tight end Owen Anderson. The Minutemen's depth and physicality overwhelmed a rebuilding Ohio squad, showcasing just how far the programs are trending in opposite directions.

With the win, UMass moves to a strong midseason position, led by a surging offense and growing confidence in both trenches. Ohio, meanwhile, continues to search for stability amidst a challenging rebuild.
