Notes
Worst program in CFB, but fair everyone is hurt
UMass disgrace to MAC, should drop to FCS
Only competitive in 2 games & 1 was L to Bryant
13 starters from Week 1 are out now.
Have not scored 7+ points in any game over a month
Blown out by Kent? UMass is worst team in CFB
There is nothing here to like or fear. Mid FCS at best
DBs are extremely banged up, moving CB to S
17 pts vs 2 FBS teams, 0 in the 2nd half
QB1 B Rose is out, Hairston & Jordan playing
