🔼 Homecoming Dub. The Bulldogs closed out its season-long three-game homestand by rolling past UMass 45-20 at Davis Wade Stadium. State racked up 463 yards of total offense and standout freshman quarterback Michael Van Buren Jr. accounted for three total touchdowns to wrap the game in Maroon and White. The offense supported a strong Dawg defensive effort that saw State limit UMass to only 10 points and 222 yards over the final three quarters.
