Today is another challenge. Despite the Bulldogs 1-6 record, they are a full-fledged SEC team sprinkled with four-star recruits. State has size and speed on the Minutemen over most of their roster.
The Bulldogs have a good offense and are going to score. UMass needs offensive production to keep the Mississippi State offense on the sideline and to keep up. The Minutemen can probably throw the ball on the Bulldogs. Some accurate passing from Taisun Phommachanh (like he did against Army last year) could make the game close.
A couple of Mississippi State turnovers to blunt their offense and to give UMass a short field would help.
I'll be cheering for the Minutemen. Go UMass!!
