UMass Football News--June 5th, 2025

 The Minutemen Command has Episode #7 of the Flagship Podcast. Rene and Mike interview ESPN writer Dan Wetzel.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sports Illustrated has the G5 Daily covering the top teams in the Group-of-Five after Spring Ball. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hustle Belt has a long interview with new UMass HC Joe Harasymiak. 

They also look at the QB situation for every MAC team. They predict Utah transfer Brandon Rose will win the UMass job.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Draft Kings Sports Book has UMass with a 3.5 over-and-under season wins for 2025. This is kinda encouraging to Minuteman fans as Vegas thinks UMass will win between 3 and four games. Note that UMass has only won four games twice in our FBS career (2017 and 2018 Whipple). We've never won five.

Outside of those two 4-8 seasons with Whipple, the win total of Molnar, Bell and Brown was 17-106 or .160 winning percentage..

Draft Kings also has UMass -1.5 favorite over Temple on August 30th.  A win over the Owls would be a really big boost to the 2025 season and place that four-win season ceiling in jeopardy.
