UMass has a chance to put a positive spin on the 2024 season with an upset win over Liberty or UConn. The Flames have proved to be mortal this season with two league losses. The Minutemen need to contain Liberty's high-octane offense and score more than 19 points.
With Taisun Phommanhach out, AJ Hairston and Ahmad Haston need to move the offense. The Flames still have an excellent defense and UMass has to generate some rushing offense to keep Liberty' offense off the field. The Minutemen have been running better lately, so there is a chance.
I'll be cheering for the Maroon & White! Go UMass!
