UMass Football News--June 1st, 2024

 

UMass releases the kickoff times for five 2024 games.

The 2024 Minutemen schedule is another tough one. The second half of the schedule is brutal.

  • Missouri - ranked # 9 by Lindy's and top-10 by most other pundits
  • Wagner- the second FCS team of 2024
  • Mississippi State- the Bulldogs went 1-7 in the SEC in 2023 but were undefeated in their non-SEC slate with a win over Arkansas on the Razorbacks home field
  • Liberty--Lindy's predicts the Flames to go 13-0 in their regular schedule (12-0 in CUSA and a win in the conference championship)
  • Georgia-- Everybody's #1 ranked team. The Dogs return the #1 ranked QB, Carson Beck, the #1 ranked recruiting class and have won 25 consecutive home games.
  • UConn--The Huskies went 3-9 in 2023. This year UConn plays four Power Five teams (Maryland, Duke, Wake Forest and Syracuse), but their Group-of-Five games (Florida Atlantic, Buffalo, Temple, Rice, Georgia State and UAB) are all winnable games.
