All right. We're home in McGuirk. I think this should be a highly competitive game. Again, the UMass offense has to be productive. Miami is a solid MAC team; a team many pundits picked to win their division in the MAC.
UMass needs to score 28+ points to win. The Redhawks are not Auburn. The Minutemen defense should limit the Miami scoring, but we can't expect the defense to pitch a shutout.
The UMass rushing game has been very good so far. A 150+ yards rushing and two or three TD's on the ground will go a long way towards making the offense effective.
I'll be there, cheering for the Minutemen. Go UMass!
