    Unless they have been ravished by injuries, and they have suffered some on defense this year, but I don't know the status of their players. Then, we'll be hard-pressed to score anywhere near 60!

    Assuming they are healthy, UMASS's front 7 is as good as we'll see this year. Arkansas is better. UTEP did a good job. UTSA is looking stout on defense. But, we'll have a tough time running the ball with any consistency. And, our short passing game will be challenged too. Which is our strength.

    I watched a good bit of their game vs. Miss State. And their D, especially their starters, wore down and the wheels came off. They don't have quality depth. They have a weak offense which means maybe we can keep their D on the field and wear them down. Unfortunately, we have a horrific defense and that probably means UMASS will have some nice drives, giving their D some time to rest.

    If both teams are at full strength, and if the game goes "to form," Tech will win 27-17. My prediction.

    This game worries me because of our history in playing poorly in games like this. Hopefully we just go up there and blow their doors off. But if it is a close game in the 4th quarter, will we be able to do what it takes to win? Despite managing to stave off a devastating collapse last week, I still think we have a lot to prove when it comes to close games.

    Same here. This looks like the classic trap game. Coming off the hard-fought win over an opponent the team views as a rival, and traveling far to play against a team you may not take as seriously as you should.... and also a non-conference game. They are going to need to focus this week... especially the offense. They have very little room for error.

    Road game,.. and quite a few starters did not play due to injuries and some disciplinary suspensions.

    I am hoping the extra rest does us good. Usually, extra days between games spells disaster for us.

    By contrast, UMASS is averaging only 18.3 pts per game, and scored only 16 points in its last game against CUSA member Old Dominion and 13 against CUSA's FIU in game 3.

    Tech wins by 30.
    I agree with you. Some numbers that will support that this game will go our way.

    I know this is obvious, but... Key game for our bowl hopes. We need this win to go 2-2 in non-conference.

    Re: 10/15: UMass game

    Coach has done a solid job of trouncing mediocre teams last few years ... just talking about S Miss getting stomped by SA should motivate team. I do not believe any team left on schedule can stop TT-CH and Higgins if they are healthy. I have been consistant that anyone can step up and beat you but 3-3 record should make us hungry to win. ( I was guy worried about NSU ) . line ia around 16 and I wont be surprised if we win by 25-30 . wish I was going .
