Week 0 Games

[Spsone07]

Missed field goal. UMass needs a long drive and touchdown on this upcoming drive

 

[storrsroars]

Mass looks OK - D gave up an 80-yd TD run but not much else. They're battling. Still nursing a 3-point lead late 3rd qtr.

Defense looks much improved. Offense still sputtering, although they can now sometimes complete passes.

 

[giddyup]

Brown D is blitz heavy. Surprised they haven’t exploited it more.

 

[GoConn]

This is a good game.

 

[storrsroars]

That NMST bomb for a TD was a strange play. Almost like a hail mary with two WRs going up for it in end zone.

Taisun is rising

 

[BugsyCT]

Taisun is rising

He's stepping up down the stretch with both his arm and his legs.

 

[formerlurker]

Florida International game on CBS Sports Network also. They look really good early. Bummed I'll miss them at The Rent but I'll be in Ireland golfing Old Head* that day so I have no complaints.


*Not to be confused with the Old Head going on at golf courses in The Villages, Florida

Brown D is blitz heavy. Surprised they haven’t exploited it more.

Shocking

 

[LoyalFanCT]

UMass is a decent team this year. UConn better be ready for Nov. 25

 

[BugsyCT]

Wow, UMass just blew it open with that pick-6. 34-17. It's a long way off but we might have our hands full in Amherst.

 

[CTBballfan243]

UMass is looking good. Putting the hurt on New Mexico State.

 

[GoConn]

i just took a look at UMass schedule...much easier than ours, IMO

 

[Spsone07]

Boston College might be the worst FBS in New England

 

[NowInStorrs]

NMSU opening up the playbook with a successful fake punt and a TD

 

[CTBballfan243]

Boston College might be the worst FBS in New England

We haven’t seen BC play yet. That might be a little premature. The transfer portal can change a team in a hurry.

 

[CTBballfan243]

UMass is gonna be tough team. Let’s hope UConn has improved as much as UMass has.

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

I was tempted to bet on UMass this week. Taison P won the the starting job there...and we know Brown is a good coach. I think they will be better this year... especially at QB.

I shoulda taken UMass

 

[ScottVib]

Neither UMass nor NM State played well defensively.

 

[NowInStorrs]

I think Don Brown 2.0 is going to be more successful than HCRE 2.0 (I realize a pile of manure would probably be more successful than HCRE 2.0 but just saying).

 

[HCCForever]

Vanderbilt over Hawaii 21-14 at half. Should be entertaining second half.

 

[weyuo]

Umass goes to Auburn next week. They also play at Penn St which irks me. Why do they get Penn St on their schedule but UConn can't get a sniff. They also play at Army and at Liberty before the finale with UConn. Barring major injuries I like UConn's chances. Looking at UConn's schedule that game in Amherst may be for bowl eligibility...for both teams. But I am hoping bowl eligibility will be decided at homecoming or the week before.

 

[huskidork]

good win for UMass hate em, but had a really strong feeling NMSU was going to get punched in the mouth, score doesn't tell the story of that game, minutemen dominated the second half if they can keep up that offense, and get that defense being a little more consistent, a bowl game is not too out of realm of possibility.

 

[giddyup]

UMass brought in a lot of P5 talent and it is showing.
