UMass will play Texas A & M at College Station in 2022.
09/03 - at Tulane

09/17 - Stony Brook
09/24 - at Temple
10/01 - at Eastern Michigan
10/08 - Liberty
10/15 - Buffalo
10/29 - New Mexico State
11/12 - at Arkansas State

That's a tougher schedule than 2021----and it does not have UConn. If you missed it, Buffalo has won 30 games in the last four years (the most in the MAC). Tulane went 6-6 in 2020 with wins over Army and Temple. UMass could add another FCS team.
