The Minutemen are 1-3 against FCS opponents over the last three years. UMass needs to win this game. A win will continue to build momentum for the season and set up the last two games of 2023. Merrimack is a run-first offense. If UMass can contain RB Tyvon Edmonds, then the Minutemen defense should be able to control the Warriors offense.
UMass is #87 in total offense in FBS in 2023. The Minutemen need to continue to run and mix in the passing attack. UMass has scored more than 30 points only twice this season. This would be a game the Minutemen should be able to score.
I'll be there cheering for the Minutemen. Go UMass!!
