UMass Minutemen Football Schedule Analysis: The Minutemen should be able to come up with a few wins with dates against Rhode Island, Maine and New Mexico State, but they’ll go through a whole lot of humping to get there. They’ll likely be double-digit underdogs in each of the first five games before getting UConn at home.

UMass Minutemen Football Schedule Best Case Scenario: UMass pulls off a shocker against either Eastern Michigan or Toledo, beats UConn, and takes care of three of its last four games for a five-wins season.

UMass Minutemen Football Schedule Worst Case Scenario: It’s an ugly first five games before losing to UConn at home. Every games a blowout loss on the way to an 0-8 start before losing to either Rhode Island or Maine, and the loss to New Mexico State closes out the rough season with a clunker.

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.
