UMass is a must win.

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.

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.

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.

Do you think the players forgot about last year? I think they have revenge on their minds

Yup.
