SFGate.com has how to watch the Flames-Minutemen game with statistical factoids.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the factoids that has sunk UMass this year is scoring. The Minutemen are currently #120 in the nation in scoring at 19.7 points/game. The UMass offense has struggled to score. Twenty points a game will not beat many teams.

With two new quarterbacks the Minutemen can't have a great opening drive then kick a field goal on the second drive and then go into a shell until eight minutes are left in the game. By then, it'll be 38-10 Liberty. Taisun Phommachanh seemed to be tentative in his mobility this year. Maybe he was still feeling the effects of his previous injury. He is/was not a real pocket passer. Ahmad Haston and AJ Hairston are in good health according to Coach Brown. They need to move the team and score in every quarter to keep up with Liberty. The Flames are not world-beaters this year. They lost to a 0-7 team. If we score 28+ points, good things could happen.
