Merrimack dominated 1-6 LIU and held the Sharks to 131 total yards of offense. The win moves the Warriors to 3-1 in the NEC and keeps them in contention for the League title.

I watched the Army-LSU game on the CBS Sports channel. LSU won 62-0.
Army was without their regular QB Bryson Daily. He was injured. The Black Knights started true freshman Champ Harris, who was not effective against the Tigers defense. Army also played Larry Robinson at QB.
The new-look Army offense needs some passing yards to work. The two freshmen Army QB's combined for 42 passing yards.
If Bryson Daily does not play next week, UMass could have a chance to upset the Black Knights. The Minutemen need to play with intensity. The UMass offense should score some points. The Minutemen defense should be a pretty good matchup against the two Army freshmen QB's. It's not a given Army will win with their current situation.

I also watched UConn-UCF game. The Huskies lost 24-21 on a fourth quarter charge by UCF.
UCF had back-to-back losses where they gave up 56 points in both games. UConn does not have much except for RB Cam Edwards, who ran for 149 yards on 22 carries.
This is another game I think UMass should win. The Huskies are really bad. If UMass shows up and plays with emotion, the Minutemen are better.
I really think UMass could end the season with a 3-1 run if they get after it.
