Game Day---Ohio

Well, the weather looks to be slowly improving and I hope the Minutemen continue their improvement too. UMass fans get to see a top-25 team that beat Penn State.

The most often adjective used to describe the Bobcats is "solid". They don't make mistakes and don't have an obvious weakness to exploit. Tyler Tettleton has thrown zero interceptions.  Ohio has only two turnovers all year. They lead the MAC in scoring defense and fewest yards rushing.

Ohio is the MAC's best and this is where we aspire to be in a couple of years. Given the performance of this year's recruits, I think we will get there.

Hope to see everyone at Gillette. Go UMass!!!
