UMass is a must win.

Today’s win vs. BC opens up a real possibility to make a bowl game. Next week is a life or death. A loss vs. UMass would be devastating. However, I do think we take care of business.

2 wins to go.

I tend to ignore the regular hyperbole from @shizzle787, but I 100% agree on this take.

UConn is two wins away from bowl eligibility and UMass is far and away the worst team remaining on their schedule.

What's crazy is that each game remaining is "winnable", but I am confident UConn will beat UMass. I don't feel the same true confidence playing against Liberty/Army.

What a fun season this has been! The energy from the players, coaches, the bench, the noise of the crowd. Felt good to see on TV.
 
Just one small point -- and I may have overlooked the fact that someone has already said this -- but UMass is a must win every time UConn plays them. In whatever sport. Including hockey where they currently excel (2021 National Champions).
 
Oh, btw, I know I said that I have moved beyond hating teams, but just to clarify, a 54-0 score in favor of UConn would definitely be satisfying. Immensely satisfying actually.

Assuming we beat UMass and lose to Liberty, the Army game will be a playoff game. Win and we live to play another day!
 
Not worried about UMass, worried about Liberty and Army. Think webeat Army, Liberty will be a challenge

Our offense hasn't put together a decent drive since the first half against Ball State. Our RB group is two deep. We should win. But the game still holds peril especially if we turn the ball over like we did in the second half against Ball State.

I'm only 75 minutes from Michie Stadium. I was there for the last UConn football game @ Army and I want revenge!

Any tips to get into the stadium without getting checked in to the visitors' center first?
 
The New Mexico bowl is a 6 hour drive for me, would love it if we made it to that game.

I know we aren’t the worst team in college football anymore, but I cannot believe some of these posts overlooking any opponent. Glad the staff and players are likely not in this frame of mind. Treat every game like we’re the underdog.

Absolutely agree. Can't beat BC then lose to their little brother. Plus, after what happened to us last year in Amherst, I wanna beat the crap outta them.

I lived in Western Mass for 22 years, including most of Calimari's tenure, and their fans froth at the mouth about UConn.

They believe UConn's success is no big deal and they should be better, so we can be sure their players will be fired up and Don Brown will have put them into a frenzy about the game, so we better be ready.

On the original point of the thread, yeah can't cough up a hairball in this spot.
 
Liberty beat UMess 42-24, next week should be a fair comparison. And Liberty plays Arkansas next week while we face UMess. Hopefully the Hogs beat 'em up physically before we face them.

Anyhow, unless we take care of UMess, it doesn't matter.

Mora has spoken after the wins about how they have to back it up so I think they will be ready
 
That Rocket City Bowl thing is weird. They have a Twitter account and a website that barely has anything on it. They joined Twitter in 2016. The about us portion says they're planning on bringing a bowl game to Huntsville, AL but it doesn't appear that they've ever had a bowl game. There are no articles about it. It doesn't seem to be an actual thing, at least not yet.
 
Against the six non-ranked opponents, UConn's offense has put up 134 points, for an average of 22.3 per game. UMass put up 24 against Liberty, which is now ranked. So yeah, there's a reason to be a little bit cautious here.

UMass has given up an average of 35 pts per game vs their FBS opponents. And they have not played anyone at the level of Michigan, NC State or Cuse. They play TX A & M later this year. We are 14 pts favs which seems right but no game is a sure win for us - we still have to bring it.
 
Can’t wait for Friday at 7. Hope the place is packed and jacked. Got games that mean things.
