 UMass 44 and Seton Hall 60 will match up at 700 p

They will enter the game on a two-game winning streak, which includes the victory over Quinnipiac and one over Holy Cross. Seton Hall is expected to give UMass more of a test than they have had in either of those two contests, but the Minutemen are coming off their best performance of the year and will look to build off that as they head into New Jersey. UMass (4-4) and Seton Hall (6-0) will match up at 7:00 p.m on Monday, Dec 7. Photo Credit: Masslive /Eric Gallant/J Anthony Roberts. Cowboys tight end Jason Witten caught 14 receptions for 156 yards and wide receiver Miles Austin recorded his fourth 100-yard game of the season after hauling in 10 receptions for 104 yards and a touchdown.Roy Williams also found the end zone twice, finishing with six receptions for 60 yards.It's hard not to criticize the Cowboys for losing their first game of December with their history of struggling in the Tony Romo era (5-8). The Miami Dolphins rebounded from their tough loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 12 with a one-point, come-from-behind victory against the AFC East-leading New England Patriots in Week 13. The Dolphins didn't get much pressure on Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and shied away from the running game that has made them so productive, but were still able to come away with the win. At 6-6, the Dolphins are one game behind the Patriots in the AFC East. They are finished with games inside the division and will complete the season with three game against AFC South opponents before closing the regular season against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Until then, here are my observations from the Dolphins-Patriots game: OffenseThe Dolphins gave Chad Henne the keys to the offense more than I've ever seen before, letting him throw 52 passes on the way to the most productive game of his career.Henne wasn't always on-point and missed a handful of easy throws, but he still made a lot of great throws and came through when it counted. The Dolphins have a real quarterback for the first time since Dan Marino. (Not that there is much competition among the players since then.)How many times is Pat White going to have to come in and do nothing before the team abandons that aspect of the offense It's like wasting a down every time he enters the game, and it makes zero sense when Henne is moving the ball down the field and getting a rhythm going. Ricky Williams ran hard and looked good, but the Patriots did a good job for the most part of stopping the run. Lousaka Polite once again came through in short yardage, and would have had some good receptions if Henne hadn't missed him badly multiple times.

Brian Hartline was also quite impressive with a few good grabs, including a great falling toe-tap in the end zone for a score Ted Ginn, Jr. also came through when he was called upon, making a beautiful sideline catch in the first half and on a slant during the final scoring drive.Though Joey Haynos was a non-factor, starting tight end Anthony Fasano caught the ball well when targeted and did a good job not going down easily while still protecting the ball.Henne didn't get the flawless pass protection that Tom Brady did most of the game, but the Dolphins' offense line did an admirable job, especially given how many passes Henne attempted. Nate Garner slid over to right guard and replaced Donald Thomas , performing well. I'm not sure if Thomas was benched or injured, as he has been a pretty solid player for the Dolphins all season. Defense & Special TeamsThe Dolphins' defensive line struggled against the run early but got things together. Their pass rush was pretty weak, as the Patriots' offensive line did their usual good job in protecting Brady.Nose tackle Paul Soliai played much better than he did in his first game against the Patriots.
