The Minutemen need to bring their "A" game today. The Rams have Kasim Hill 6-2 234 at QB. He's already been twice CAA offensive player-of-the-week. He's a former four-star recruit who signed with Maryland. I've watched a couple of his games at Rhody. When he gets hit, he gets up kinda slowly as if he has a lot of miles on his body. He probably does, which is probably why he's playing for the Rams. However, every so often he looks like a four-star recruit.
Hill has gone 96-184 9 TD's 4 INT's and a stellar 127.24 efficiency rating. Rhody is going to score some points. UMass needs to have more offense than just running Ellis Merriweather between the tackles.
I think the Rams are a better football team than UConn. UMass needs to play with some intensity today.
I'll be there watching. Go UMass!
