If we are going to make a run at the end of this season, the time is here. UMass has played a string of good teams in 2015. However, the Minutemen have looked less formidable than I had hoped. Our pass-only offense has stumbled at times. Probably because of injuries, the Minutmen defense has not improved this year.
However, UMass has showed flashes that it can do better. The offense scored on Notre Dame and Toledo. The defense played tough against FIU and Kent State.
Ball State is not a good team. Let's play both haves of the game and with both offense and defense and get a second win of the season.
Go UMass!!!!
