Game Day Toledo--October 2nd, 2021

 


Another Saturday, another good opponent for UMass. If you follow recruiting rankings you are aware the Rockets sign 20+ three star recruits every year. This leads to lots of depth and lots of seniors in the two-deep.

It also leads to a near upset of Notre Dame. Toledo is maybe a half a notch below Power Five teams like BC and Pitt. They're probably better than Florida State.

UMass needs to play a focused game. The sloppy start against Coastal Carolina seemed to fluster the Minutemen. We need some offensive production and the defense needs to make a couple of plays.

I drove 500 miles back from PA yesterday and I'll be hitting the road again to drive to Amherst this morning to cheer for the Minutemen.

Go UMass!

Winners and Whiners predicts UMass to cover the 27-point spread.

Sports Chat Place also thinks the Minutemen will cover.
