Game Day Army---2020

UMass will meet Army on a cold, but sunny day in West Point. Wish I was there. As Independents, an annual game between the schools would be awesome. West Point on the Hudson is just a great place to watch college football. The Corps of Cadets and Michie Stadium makes a wonderful venue.

As I have noted this week, Army is not a good matchup for us this year. What the Black Knights are good at (running the ball) is what we are terrible at (defending the run).  UMass needs more offense to make the game even moderately interesting. I sincerely hope future trips to West Point will be more fun.

I'll be watching today and cheering for the Minutemen.

Go UMass!
