UMass really needs a big effort against Army. All the off-season work and effort has not had a lot of reward in 2023. The Minutemen need to show up and play with enthusiasm and spirit. If they do, Army should be within reach.
If Army ends up playing two true freshmen QB's, our defense should be competitive with the Black Knights. The UMass offense should be able to move the ball and score some points.
A win against Army would make a huge difference in the 2023 season, maybe more than a closing win over UConn. It would be a big reward for the players and coaches and balm to battered souls of UMass football fans.
