After two bad losses there probably not much upside for UMass fans in a game against a Power Four team like Iowa. The goals for the Minutemen would be to play hard, be competitive, and try some new combinations.
We ran the ball on Georgia. Working on the UMass run game would be an excellent goal. If you can run the ball, you generally have a good lookin' QB and a good looking offense.
Implementing a zone defense could be another goal. Man coverage has not worked (which is a massive understatement) so far this year. Since we are not going to win the game anyway, working the kinks out of a zone defense could help the rest of the season.
Whatever the score, I'll be cheering for the Minutemen.
Go UMass!
