"To say the season has been difficult for Massachusetts would be an understatement, as the Minutemen lost their 10th consecutive game on Wednesday night against Northern Illinois. The loss came in decidedly brutal fashion, with the Huskies running up a 45-0 lead by the midway point of the third quarter. When Massachusetts did eventually get on the board, the score produced an unfortunate viral moment."
"Nearly 1,000 miles apart, two of the sport's most historic ballparks spent Saturday trading bats for pigskin. At Fenway Park, the Secretaries Cup rivalry between the Coast Guard Academy and Merchant Marine Academy was played at a neutral site for the first time. Meanwhile, in Chicago, Northwestern welcomed Michigan to Wrigley Field -- and brought a home run-themed celebration to suit the occasion."
Massachusetts suffered a 10th consecutive loss to Northern Illinois, falling behind 45-0 before kicker Derek Morris hit a 44-yard field goal that triggered an ill-timed fireworks launch behind the end zone. Major League Baseball venues hosted two college football games, including the Secretaries Cup at Fenway Park played at a neutral site and Northwestern's game against Michigan at Wrigley Field. That game featured a home run-themed celebration. Week 12 also included midweek MACtion moments and other off-field oddities such as stretched-out undershirts in Pittsburgh and unconventional plays that prioritized function over form.
