Why Army Will Win

The running game should work again.

It was stopped by Air Force and didn’t do enough against Troy in the 10-9 loss, and then it popped back up again against a bowl-bound UConn team. The Knights ripped off 5.5 yards per carry, controlled the game when they had to, and all was right with the world.

Can UMass stop the run? No.

It allowed 154 yards per game, but that’s partly because everyone is able to balance out the attack against this bunch. It allows close to five yards per carry and gave up more than 5.2 yards per pop five times.

Army is 4-0 when averaging more than 5.2 yards per carry and …

– Bowl Projections | Bowl Bubble: Who’s Bowl Eligible?

Why UMass Will Win

Army is 0-6 when running for 5.2 yards or fewer.

The UMass defense might not be anything special, but it hasn’t been roasted too badly. It’ll give up 200 yards to the Knights, but it likely won’t allow the 300 or so to take over the game.

The third down defense is strong, the offense is great at controlling the clock, and there’s a shot it’s able to beat Army a wee bit at its own game.

The Army D doesn’t get behind the line enough, it’s not good at stopping third down tries, and the run defense allows over 200 yards per game. Along with that …

– Week 13 College Football Schedule, Game Previews

What’s Going To Happen

Army has yet to win a game away from home this season.

It’s 4-2 at West Point and 0-4 on the road or in neutral site games. UMass hasn’t been able to win anywhere – it doesn’t have a victory over an FBS program – but at least it’s finally back in Amherst after not playing a home game since late October.

This game will be FAST – the two running games will keep the clock moving. UMass will keep it close for three quarters, but the Army ground attack will be a wee bit better.

Why UMass Will Win

The fight is still there.

It’s been a rough return for head coach Don Brown, but there’s a lot to build off of even without a win over an FBS team.

The running game is working okay – it’s enough to come up with 150 yards if it commits to the ground game, and the passing attack all of a sudden found something.

After having the saddest air attack in the country for most of the season – just one touchdown pass over the first eight games – UMass stepped it up with QBs Brady Olson and Garrett Dzuro combining for 573 yards and three scores over the last two weeks.

If Texas A&M has checked out after this disaster of a campaign, UMass should be able to score a bit. But …

– Bowl Projections

Why Texas A&M Will Win

Don’t discount just how much fun it might be for this team to get a win. Any win.

After the embarrassment of being the first SEC team to be knocked out of bowl eligibility this season, and with the brutal pain of four close losses in the last five games games, now it’s time to open it up.

UMass can’t come up with third down conversions, and that’s against a schedule without any games against a Power Five team..

– Schedules, Predictions College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

It might not be a breeze – the UMass defense isn’t that bad – but the Texas A&M ground game should be able to hit 200 yards with a slew of big runs, and the defense will come up with stop after stop.

It might not be the total obliteration to erase all the problems of 2022, but Texas A&M will get points off its first few drives and cruise from there.

UMass vs Arkansas State Game Preview

Why UMass Will Win

The wins might not be there, but there have been signs of improvement in a few spots. The Minutemen lost, but they came up with their best passing game of the year with 266 yards against UConn last week.

Now that passing game has to keep working – it got just its second touchdown pass of the season – to go along with a ground game that has to run through the Arkansas State defensive front.

The Red Wolves are struggling offensively, but they’re having an even tougher time defensively allowing 160 yards or more in seven of the last eight games.

But …

– 10 Best Picks Against The Spread

Why Arkansas State Will Win

The dead Arkansas State offense should perk up.

There’s been absolutely nothing happening with the ground game – a net -19 yards against South Alabama in the loss a few weeks ago – thanks to a disastrous line that allows way too many plays behind the line.

UMass will come up with several tackles for loss – ASU is the second-worst in the country at keeping defenses from getting behind the line – but the defense has allowed 190 rushing yards or more in six of the last nine games.

– Schedules, Predictions College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

It’s been a disastrous losing season for Arkansas State with four straight losses – the wheels came flying off in the loss to South Alabama two weeks ago.

However, the Red Wolves should be able to get the offense going by finally running well enough to be more than awful. UMass will fight the good fight, and it’ll run well and come up with a few scores, but this will be Arkansas State’s day.

UMass vs UConn Game Preview

Why UMass Will Win

It’s been a rough run for the UMass offense, but the defense hasn’t been too awful against the run and does just enough to get into the backfield to matter.

Stop the run, stop UConn. There’s no passing game coming from the Huskies, the downfield throws aren’t there, and the offense as a whole struggles to get to 300 yards.

UMass needs takeaways, and UConn has a bit of a fumbling problem. This should be a low scoring game, so even being a +2 in turnover margin might be the difference. However …

– NFL Expert Picks, Week 9

Why UConn Will Win

UConn has forced three turnovers or more in three of the last four games including five last week in the 13-3 shocker over Boston College.

The Huskies have found a nice mix to be more than just competitive winning three of the last four games. There isn’t much from the UConn passing attack, but there’s really not anything happening from UMass through the air.

The Minutemen have a hard time getting to 100 yards per game, the UConn defense hasn’t been bad against the run, and it shouldn’t take too many points putting this away against the nation’s worst offense.

– Game Previews, Predictions College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

UConn isn’t going to do anything crazy. Run, run some more, control the clock a little bit better, and rely on the defense to hold up against the run.

This won’t be anything thrilling – be shocked if there’s any sort of flurry of points – but UConn will get this done to keep its bowl hopes alive.

New Mexico State vs UMass Game Preview

Why New Mexico State Will Win

The team is rested.

It had two weeks off since coming up with a win over New Mexico to make it two wins in the last three games. How did the wins happen? The running game was great against Hawaii, the defense held up when needed against the Lobos, and it had plenty of time to prepare for what UMass can do.

UMass can’t throw – there’s no need to worry about getting hit through the air against an O with just one touchdown pass on the year. Hold up against the run, beat UMass.

– NFL Expert Picks, Week 8

Why UMass Will Win

UMass had two weeks off to get ready, too.

No, the passing game doesn’t work – like, at all – and the running game isn’t great, but the team is fantastic at controlling the clock, it doesn’t turn the ball over, and it’s not like it has to come up with 50 points to win this.

New Mexico State doesn’t have a passing game, either. The offense sputters, it struggles on third downs, and it doesn’t make up for the problems on one side with takeaways on the other.

– Game Previews, Predictions College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

UMass has a bit more of a running game, but New Mexico State is a bit more effective at it.

The difference will be a few turnovers. New Mexico State doesn’t take the ball away – just four on the year – and UMass does. It’ll be +1, and that will be enough.

Buffalo vs UMass Game Preview

Why Buffalo Will Win

The Bulls found their running groove.

They weren’t able to do much on the ground against Miami University, but the defense and passing attack did just enough to get the win, and then came the season-high 280-yard day in the win over Bowling Green.

On a three-game winning streak, the defense is playing better, there aren’t a slew of mistakes, and the team is able to hang on to the ball and control the clock.

However …

– NFL Expert Picks, Week 6

Why UMass Will Win

The Buffalo run defense isn’t anything great.

The line isn’t good at getting into the backfield, and Bowling Green is the first team that didn’t hammer away with ease on the ground.

UMass might not be doing a whole slew of things right, but the ground game has been okay and the defense has done a good job of taking the ball away with ten takeaways in the last four games.

However …

– Schedules, Previews College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

There’s absolutely no UMass passing game for the Bulls to worry about. As long as there aren’t a slew of turnovers for easy points, UB should be able to grind its way to a low-scoring win.

UMass will have its chances, but it won’t be able to keep the chains moving. The O will be on the field for most of the game, but it won’t do anything with the time logged in.

Liberty vs UMass Game Preview

Why UMass Will Win

The running game continues to do just enough to matter.

That’s partly because the passing attack doesn’t do much of anything – the O is all about the ground game and trying to hold up defensively – but the team is able to hold on the ball for long stretches.

Own the time of possession, hope the defense can keep on taking the ball away with nine takeaways in the last three games, and …

– NFL Expert Picks, Week 5

Why Liberty Will Win

UMass doesn’t score.

It’s averaging fewer than ten points per game against FBS teams and hasn’t hit the 14 point mark yet against any of them – the 20-3 win over Stony Brook from the FCS counts as an offensive explosion.

The Liberty run defense is good enough, there’s zero fear of any sort of a passing game, and as long as the offense can be far, far more careful with the ball than it’s been so far – 12 turnovers in five games are too many – there won’t be any real concerns.

This will be over very, very fast if …

– Schedules, Previews College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

Turnovers. If the Liberty D starts coming up with takeaways and if it can get up right away, UMass has no ability to come back.

Liberty will win the field position battle in the first half, score off the chances, and coast in the second half.

UMass vs Eastern Michigan Game Preview

Why UMass Will Win

The running game hasn’t been bad.

It’s been a grind to get the passing attack going, but the run defense hasn’t been gouged, there are enough third down stops to matter, and the offensive line is averaging 186 yards per game all while doing a great job of controlling the tempo of the game.

Eastern Michigan might have been great at times, but it got rumbled on by Buffalo last week, it’s allowing close to five yards per carry, and …

– NFL Expert Picks, Week 4

Why Eastern Michigan Will Win

UMass doesn’t score.

The running game might be fine, but there’s no passing game to worry about and there’s a big problem putting the biscuit in the basket.

The Minutemen try to slow games down to a crawl to keep them close, but they’re dead last in the nation in scoring with just 40 points in four games.

Eastern Michigan can make this easy. Load up against the run, keep the nation’s worst passing game from hitting the third down throws, and keep the mistakes to a minimum.

– Schedules, Previews College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

Turnovers aren’t much of an issue for Eastern Michigan – other than the five given away against Louisiana – and there won’t be any need to take too many chance.

UMass – for all of its problems – should keep this from getting too far out of hand, but again, it’s just not going to score enough.

UMass vs Temple Game Preview

Why UMass Will Win

The running game has to get moving right away.

UMass doesn’t even pretend to have a passing game at this point – the 105 yards in the win over Stony Brook represents a season high – and there aren’t that many gashing runs. However, the Minutemen are able to bash out 188 yards per game, they do a good job of controlling the clock, and they should be able to keep the score low and in range throughout.

Temple’s offense isn’t good enough to consistently move the chains, there’s no real ground game, and …

– CFN Expert Picks, Week 4

Why Temple Will Win

The defense will have to win this.

In the first year under head coach Stan Drayton, the pass rush has stepped up in a big way. The line should stop the UMass offense before it gets going, and that should be enough to offset a rough attack that’s struggling to get going.

As long as the defense is coming up with around ten tackles for loss, it should be doing its job throughout.

– Week 4 Schedule, Predictions, Game Preview

What’s Going To Happen

Points will be hard to come by.

UMass got rocked by Tulane and Toledo, but it’s playing a defense its own size. It should be able to run enough to matter, but the Temple D will be better, there will be some semblance of a passing attack, and the home side will get through a low-scoring grind.

UMass vs Stony Brook Game Preview

Why Stony Brook Will Win

In two games, the University of Massachusetts football team has thrown for 65 yards more than you have.

The passing attack didn’t do much of anything in blowout losses to Tulane and Toledo, and now it’s up to the Seawolves of Stony Brook to make the Minutemen have to press.

Stony Brook lost to Rhode Island to start the season, but it wasn’t bad, it was down 21-14 going into the fourth quarter, and then the game got away from it.

Head coach Don Brown has a plan. Run, run some more, and stay committed to it. That might not have worked out so well when the team was getting blasted in the first two games, but that’s going to set the tone for winnable games going forward.

QB Gino Campiotti and Tim Baldwin are a good rushing complement to Ellis Merriweather, and now the style has been established.

What’s Going To Happen

The UMass running game will come through.

The defense might be having issues, and Stony Brook will run little bit, too, but the Minutemen will be more effective on the ground.

That’s a must considering neither team will be able to throw.
