UMass adds Liberty to the 2020 schedule.
Mike Traini of "Fight Massachusetts" has a post on the Marshall game.
It's great UMass is playing. This will help recruiting, retention and player development.It will pay dividends in 2021.
However, 2020 wins may be tough to acquire in the revised schedule. The original schedule had UConn, New Mexico State, Albany and Akron. The Minutemen would have had a good chance against all those teams. The revised schedule looks like we will play all high-end teams. This will trigger the anti-football trolls, so UMass fans need to be prepared. You could probably write the Globe hit piece yourself.
Liberty is undefeated and they dominated Power Five team Syracuse.
Army is 5-1 and my pick to win the Commander-in-Chief trophy.
Marshall is also undefeated. And all these games are going to be away.
