Game Day Boston College--2018

UMass has the best team we've had since the move to FBS. Boston College (according to pundits) has their best team in ten years. The Eagles have the most NFL-ready back in college football in A.J. Dillon. Boston College's passing attack probably will look better than it really is because the entire Minutemen defense will be geared up to trying to contain Dillon.

Despite the disparity in size, Minutemen fans can take heart in the fact that we've made real progress. I would not trade the Ford-Comis duo for Anthony Brown or their #2 guy. The starting Minutemen WR corps of Isabella, Britt and Palmer is better too. The UMass starting backfield of Moses, Hayes, McAllister and Rogers is as good as any DB's the Eagles have.

That said, the other units favor the Eagles. Let's hope there is some opening rust on Brown. If UMass could get a couple of turnovers and Georgopoulos can make Boston deal with a long field all game, we've got a chance.

Go UMass!
