 Garrett Cole of the Hampshire Gazette say UMass relished their first back-to-back wins since 2018.

Doc's Sports reports Liberty opens as a 13-point favorite over Old Dominion. The Flames has 603 total yards of offense last week against LA Tech. Liberty QB Kaidon Salter finished with a QB rating of 213. He went 16-23 for 297 yards. The Flames are rollin'.

Bleacher Reports says take the over in the Liberty-Old Dominion game.

I watched the UConn-Tennessee game on DVD last evening. The Huskies actually moved the ball pretty well against the Vols. UConn's best weapon was the Ta'Quon Roberson-to-TE Justin Joly combo. They combined for 8-89 yards. UConn gave back-to-back INT's for touchdowns and also lost a fumble for a TD. 

The Huskies gave up some long plays that put UConn behind early. UConn is a 24.5 underdog to JMU this Saturday. They should beat Sacred Heart and the UMass game is a toss-up.
