6 Days to Hawai'i

Last year was a 40-46 shoot out. The game is being carried by NESNPlus, Sat @6PM and Red Soxs being on NESN Saturday. Do not see another scheduling conflict with NESN and the Red Soxs. Free streaming is available from UMassAthletics.com

We all know the media generally bashes us and this is probably one of the more positive pre-season write-ups.

Quote:This can be the best UMass team since its FBS leap, but that doesn't mean it can get to six wins. The Minutemen had some passing success last year with quarterback Andrew Ford, who started nine games and threw for 2,665 yards, 26 TDs and 14 TDs, with the help of a solid receiving corps featuring Andy Isabella and tight end Adam Breneman. Breneman in particular is worth watching, as he's a former blue-chip recruit at Penn State who decided to return to football after knee injuries caused him to step away from the team in Happy Valley. A healthy Breneman caught 70 passes for 808 yards and eight TDs, living up to that recruiting potential with the Minutemen. With some hope on offense and much of the defense back, four or five wins could be on the table for UMass, although the margin for error is thin with a tough road schedule featuring Temple, Tennessee, South Florida, Mississippi State and BYU.
