Friday--September 11th, 2015

Well, everyone knows that playing a PAC-12 team on the road in mile-high Boulder is a tough row to hoe. I think it's good to reflect on how far we've come in two years. UMass fans are actually talking about beating the Buffs, and we really have the team to do it. That in itself is a big step.

It's also worth while commenting on who has the best strength of schedule in New England in week #2 of the season. BC is playing its second FCS game in a row. Howard gave up 668 yards of offense against Appalachian State last week.  UConn defeated an FCS team in week #1 and this Saturday plays Army, who was beaten by Fordham last week.

So win or lose tomorrow, UMass vs Colorado is the biggest game for New England teams so far this season :)
