The UMass football team fell back to .500 following its 24-0 loss to Toledo at the Glass Bowl on Wednesday night.

The Minutemen (5-5) mustered just 188 yards of total offense against the Rockets (8-2) and were without William “Pop” Watson III for much of the contest after the quarterback lasted just three plays before leaving the game with an injury.

Injuries piled up for UMass in this one as T.Y. Harding and Brock Taylor were also impacted.

The Minutemen return to McGuirk Alumni Stadium next Wednesday for its home finale against Akron.

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
