Game Day---Ohio 2018


UMass will be in all-white with maroon hats.

Ohio is a solid club. They seemingly never have a bad year. The Minutemen are 0-3 against the Bobcats, but the games have been close except for 2013. If UMass plays with the energy and focus they displayed against Charlotte, we can win this one. The UMass offense usually scores points against Ohio. We need 35+ today.

The defense needs to keep the Bobcats run game under control and get some pressure on Rourke. Last year we beat a good Appalachian State team. A win over Ohio would go a long way in making 2018 successful.

Go UMass!

BTW, my Comcast cable schedule is showing the UMass-Ohio game.

Josh Wallfish has a post on reader's questions for the Ohio game. Not much news on the injury front. Ford and Comis are still questionable. Tyrus LeBeau is still limited. Charlie Timite is out. No word on Addo.

Josh also reports the Minutemen have been making practice count this year.
