University of Maine head football coach Jordan Stevens expressed satisfaction with his team’s disciplined and cohesive performance in a victorious season opener against Colgate. The win broke a four-game losing streak in openers and highlighted the team’s mental toughness and ability to overcome adversity. A standout moment was Alhaji Kamara’s game-sealing interception in the final seconds.
Transfer quarterback Carter Peevy impressed in his UMaine debut, displaying athleticism despite facing pressure from Colgate’s defense. Senior wide receiver Montigo Moss showcased leadership with key receptions, while defensive standouts like Kamara and Dorian Blackwell also made significant contributions. Despite injuries to important players like Cooper Heisey, the team is gearing up to face Montana State.
Coach Stevens acknowledged the need for improved tackling ahead of the game against Montana State, a formidable opponent with top rushers and receivers. Facing an opponent known for strong performances in all three phases of the game, UMaine will need a well-executed game plan to secure another victory. As Martin, who previously played for Montana State, prepares for the match, Stevens emphasized the importance of putting players in the right positions to succeed.
UMaine’s upcoming game against Montana State promises to be a challenging test, but based on their recent performance and commitment to improvement, the Black Bears are poised to bring their A-game to the field. Stevens remains confident in his team’s ability to compete and hopes to continue their winning streak as they face tough competition moving forward.
