Underdog Dynasty looks at UMass' 2017 schedule.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, Underdog Dynasty says the Temple Owls don't have a rivalry game. Minuteman fans would dearly like to supply one. The last UMass-Temple game was excellent (not counting the last two minutes).

Temple does have a rivalry with Rutgers over recruiting New Jersey players.

The Minutemen play at Lincoln Financial Field on September 16th.

Meanwhile, the USF Bulls, who went 11-2 in 2016, start Spring Practice. USF could be the best team UMass plays in 2017; better than the two SEC teams. The Minutemen should get some good recruiting exposure in talent-rich Florida from the game. UMass plays at Raymond James Stadium on October 14th.

The Bulls play a number of teams from the Northeast in 2017: Stony Brook, UConn, Temple and UMass.

The NY Jets could be interested in Victor Cruz.
