UMass vs Rhode Island Game Preview
Why Rhode Island Will Win
The UMass defense is a problem.
It’s been struggling all season long, and the offense has been the biggest issue to overcome, but the D has been destroyed over the last two weeks allowing 121 points.

Why UMass Will Win
Rhode Island can’t score.
UMass might have a power outage, but it’s playing a slew of decent FBS teams. The Rams scored seven points in back-to-back games against Towson and Villanova, and they couldn’t keep up in a 21-point loss to Maine.
For all of the problems UMass is having, the running gnat hasn’t been bad over the last few weeks – it ran for 210 yards on Florida State – and Rhode Island doesn’t have the type of defense that can get into the backfield on a regular basis.

What’s Going To Happen
At the very least, UMass will hold on to the ball enough to keep this from getting out of hand. The problem will be the big plays.
Rhode Island will give up over 200 yards on the ground, but it’ll make up for it with a few big scoring plays and lightning strikes.
