UMass Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Best Case Scenario

7-5: UMass bounces back from a miserable 2019 with an early 3-0 start with wins over UConn, Troy and Albany before going on the road for three of its next four games. It wins two of the three, uses the off week to rest up for New Mexico State, and cements a bowl bid and a winning season by splitting the dates against Army and Liberty.

UMass Football Schedule 2020 Prediction, Worst Case Scenario

3-9: It all starts with a road loss to UConn and it keeps on going. Losses to Troy and Appalachian State are bad, but dropping the date on the road to New Mexico is worse. There’s a win here and there – like at Akron and against New Mexico State – but that’s it with a rough three-game losing streak to close out the season.

What’s Going To Happen

BYU is already set with its trip to the Hawaii Bowl, and now it’s time to start the tour of America.

First it gets to visit the middle of Massachusetts with its date with UMass, then it goes to San Diego to face SDSU, and then it gets to make the trip to Honolulu.

UMass gets to stay in Amherst.

The Minutemen have the nation’s worst defense, they haven’t been able to beat anyone but the worst team in college football – Akron – and now the offense has gone away, too.

This is the game for the BYU running backs to have a little fun.

UMass has the nation’s worst run D, allowing close to 300 yards per game, and the Cougars should be able to push for that with what should be their best performance of the year on the ground – 221 yards against Utah State is the previous high.

It won’t be a shutout – the Minutemen will get a few likes in with the passing game – but the Cougars will call their shot. They’ll shut it down in the fourth quarter.

Why UMass Will Win

No, really, Northwestern just doesn’t score.

What does the nation’s worst defense desperately need? One of the nation’s worst offenses.

Northwestern has the nation’s second-worst scoring attack – averaging just 11 points per game – has the least-efficient passing game in college football, and makes things a whole lot worse with a whole bunch of turnovers.

Even last week when the offense did move a bit and the running game worked against Purdue, the offense still only managed 22 points. The Wildcats can dink and dunk a little bit, but there’s nothing for the UMass defense to worry about deep.

For all of the problems the Minutemen defense might have, it’s not bad at taking the ball away, coming up with three turnovers in four games, They’re going to need at least three to make this a wee bit interesting, because …

Why Northwestern Will Win

No, really, UMass has the nation’s worst defense.

This thing is next-level bad, allowing 500 yards or more in every game but the win over an Akron team that’s the worst in college football.

You want to throw the ball? Everyone is able to fire at will for yards in bulk, unless they want to run at will. UMass has allowed 240 rushing yards or more in every game but two, and 300 yards or more in three of the last four games.

Northwestern’s Drake Anderson has been running just well enough to get the ball more, Kyric McGowan tore off 146 yards last week against Purdue as the receiver changed up his roles a little bit, and this week …

Everyone gets to eat.

What’s Going To Happen

The Northwestern defense will have something to do with this.

The focus will be on an offense that’s done next to nothing all season long, but the D will make this a laugher. The UMass defense will get hit for big, big yards against a team desperate to have a little bit of offensive fun, but the offense will be just as big a problem with no running game whatsoever against the Wildcat defensive front.
