UMass Football News--September 11th, 2025

Mike and Rene do Episode #21 of  the Flagship Podcast.

Some epic rants by Rene and Mike, but last Saturday's results cannot be changed, so it's no use being upset. To me, it seems for whatever reasons, injuries, inexperience, or not the right personnel, we do not have the horses to play man coverage. We need a different defensive plan.

On offense, we flat need to score more. Three TD's in two games will not win many contests.

Since Iowa appears to want to work on their passing in this game, we too could experiment with some different  coverages since we are unlikely to win anyway. UMass needs to find some things (and players) that are effective and ignore the score in this game.

Go UMass.
