Well this is a game we need to win to have a breakthrough season. Georgia Southern is a solid Group-of-Five team, but they're not a powerhouse (yet). The Minutemen offense needs to score. The whole team is build around offense. We need five or more TD's today. Our receiving corps of Andy Isabella, Sadiq Palmer and Jesse Britt needs to lead the way. A good passing offense should open the way for Marquis Young to run.
The defense just needs to play solid assignment football. No busted coverages with no UMass DB in picture. Turnovers helped the Minutemen beat Appalachian State last year. A couple today to give the offense a short field would be huge. If an option team gets behind, it's generally hard for them to comeback.
Let's get this one done today. Go UMass!
