The Huskies could pull within one game of the Minutemen in the all-time series that dates back to 1897.

He will be seeking his 100th win as a head coach in his time at Northeastern (2000-03) and UMass (2004-08, 2022-present). ... UMass quarterback Taisun Phommachanh graduated from Avon Old Farms. His brother, Tyler, started three games for UConn during the 2021 season and entered the transfer portal after not seeing action in 2022. ... UMass reserve safety Jalon Ferrell joined the Minutemen after transferring from UConn in April, 2022. ... UMass is averaging 10,259 for its five home games. <- [/QUOTE]
