Game Day--Arkansas State--November 12th, 2022


Once more into the breach dear friends. Arkansas State is having a poor year. At 2-7, they should be a team we would have a chance to beat. The Minutemen defense should be competitive with Arkansas State. The Red Wolves are a passing team and UMass has given up some big plays so far this year. We need consistency in pass defense.

To win we have to score more than 13 points. If we're measuring happiness by improvement rather than wins, then 20+ points and not being shut out in the second half is improvement. The offensive production in yards improved last week. This week the offensive improvement in points would be a sign of better days ahead.

I'll be watching and cheering for the Minutemen. Go UMass!!
