Toledo vs UMass Game Preview

Why UMass Will Win

The defense is going to be better under new/former head coach Don Brown than it’s been in past seasons. It didn’t stop Tulane cold in the 42-10 loss, but it wasn’t awful against the run, it didn’t allow too many big plays, and it wasn’t bad on third downs.

The team has to be sharper and can’t give away anything to Toledo. It turned it over three times – was -2 in turnover margin – but it owned the time of possession battle and did a strong job of keeping things moving even though …

CFN Expert Picks, Week 2

Why Toledo Will Win

There was absolutely no UMass passing game whatsoever last week.

The ground game wasn’t bad – more grinding than great – but there wasn’t a thing happening through the air.

11 passes, four completions, 17 yards, three interceptions. That’s what the Minutemen generated against Tulane, and it’s not going to get much better against Toledo.

The Rockets were well balanced in the 37-0 breather against LIU, and they’re going to average well over five yards per carry to set the tone early.

Week 2 Schedule, Predictions, Game Preview

What’s Going To Happen

UMass doesn’t have an offense.

It will run here and there, but it doesn’t have the firepower to keep up with any sort of pace set by QB Dequan Finn and the offense that will move the ball however it wants to. The Rockets will score on the first two drives and cruise from there – UMass won’t have any answer.

It won’t be quite as bad as the 45-7 Toledo win in last year’s meeting, but it won’t be far off.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Toledo vs UMass Game Preview


Why Toledo Will Win

Can this team ever put it all together?

It had Notre Dame in big trouble, and then it bonked against Colorado State. The team got the win over Ball State, but the offense still didn’t work like it was supposed to.

The running game was stuffed cold by Colorado State, but it bounced back strong with 272 yards against the Cardinals, and now it should keep it all going against a UMass defense that’s getting plowed on for 242 rushing yards per game.

UMass has the worst defense in the nation on third downs, but …

Week 5 CFN College Football Expert Picks

Why UMass Will Win

Toledo can’t move the chains with any sort of consistency.

The offensive front has been a major problem – UMass HAS to get the pass rush going – and the team kills itself over and over again with way too many penalties.

The Minuteman offense has shown sparks – it worked in the loss to Eastern Michigan and the passing game kicked in late against Boston College. At home, the O should be decent, but …

What’s Going To Happen

Toledo will take the W, but it still won’t look like it’s in a place to kick it all in and take over the MAC when it dives back into conference play next week.

It won’t be a big-time offensive show when it comes to big plays, but there will be just enough points to make this interesting. Toledo will generate the scoring drives early on to be in control throughout.
