RE: Week 6 Game Thread
Previews snippets from UMass perspective.

Daily Collegian
Quote:It’s hard to find a team in Division I football that has experienced the same struggles that the Massachusetts football team has endured over the past three seasons.
Luckily for the Minutemen, they’re facing that team on Saturday.
The Miami (OH) has shared similar frustration that UMass has faced over the past few seasons and currently have longest active losing streak in college football at 21 consecutive losses. Its last victory came on Oct. 27, 2012, when the Red Hawks upset then-No. 23 Ohio in a 23-20 thriller.
When looking at the Red Hawks (0-5, 0-1 Mid-American Conference) the similarities between them and the Minutemen are eerily similar. Both teams are under the leadership of a new coaching staff, both have transfer quarterbacks running the offense, and. most importantly, both are winless and have found ways to lose leads late in the fourth quarter against teams that on paper that are better.

The Springfield Republican has 4 articles in the last 20 hours and here is a snippet from the last one.
Last of 4 Republican Articles

Quote:OXFORD, Ohio – With last week's latest disappointing loss behind it, the University of Massachusetts football team makes its the first Mid-American Conference road trip of the season Saturday, traveling to the "Cradle of Coaches" to face Miami (Ohio).

The winner finally gets into the win column. The loser? They won't want to think about it.

Here are three story lines to keep an eye on as the action plays out:


1. Which team is more desperate?

I hope Miami kills Umass. I want to see true freshman Paul Moses get another rushing TD for the Redhawks!

I doubt either team "kills" the other. But UMass looks better so far..

Any team that is winless and gets blown out by another winless team must be very, very bad.

It's a bit of a matchup thing. What UMass's defense is bad at, Miami's offense is bad at. What UMass's offense is good at, Miami's defense is bad at.

Yet the game is not over. It took some stupendously bad plays by Miami to get this 3 TD lead, and Miami is definitely going to score 3 TDs in the second half. UMass has one DB who simply can't cover, so we'll either have to double-cover his guy or roll the dice that Miami can't execute a throw and catch. We might have to score 70 to assure that we win.

Not that this comes as a surprise, but there's really no defense being played in this BGSU-Buffalo game. This lead will just keep changing back and forth.
