Message: [QUOTE="huskymedic, post: 5127485, member: 549"] [MEDIA=twitter]1861538764025168236[/MEDIA] -> But recent UConn players know UMass as the other independent FBS program in the area, and know losing to the Minutemen, as UConn did in 2021, would splatter paint all over a shiny 2024 season. The Huskies go to Amherst to play UMass on Saturday at noon. “We definitely approach it like a rivalry,” said Lundt, who is finishing his sixth and final year at UConn. “They’re only an hour and a half up north, so we definitely take it like it’s a rivalry every time we’ve played them. For us, there is a lot more at stake, to get that eighth win, so we’re going to go back and treat it like they’re the best opponent on our schedule.” <- -> “We feel like we came a long way from the start of the season,” said defensive back Jordan Wright. “We just want to finish strong, we don’t want to let everything we’ve worked for be squandered with the last game. It’s really important to the locals, and they’ve emphasized it. Guys from this surrounding area are telling us how important this game is, so we just want to give our all for them.” <- [/QUOTE]
