Ya they seem to be really excited about their ground game but their two RBs combined for 4.6 YPC in their first game and 4.4 YPC in the second. 

Now this isn't horrible, but if they plan on relying on the run game to keep the ball away from DRob and move the chains consistently, I think they have a problem. 

If Martin, Roh, Mouton, Ezeh, etc play well, UMass's RBs are going to take a big hit to their stats.

They really harped on the fact that both teams are 2-0.

Due respect to UMass, and mathematics not withstanding, not all 2-0 records are made equal.

I really doubt it will be another record crowd as he said at the end. I'm guessing it will be until the MSU or Iowa game where we reset the record for largest crowd ever to watch a college football game.

Ya there is no way they pass 113,090.

That was wishful thinking to pump up their fan base.

If we're 5-0 we break it verses MSU. Iowa will re-break it if we are 6-0 and possibly regardless. 

Wisconsin has a chance for a record too depending on the circumstances both for both teams.

it is nice to read and see comments by our wolverines that they are not underestimating any team that they suit up against.  that being said i would love to see such a dominating performance in ALL areas that many players see the field and experince the awesomeness that is M go Blue Football!

i don't care if we play 11 jokers from my office, I am always nervous. It just depends to what degree. I want this team to come out like we did last year and easily win.

I dont think we get to 113K for this game though.

The poll on the UMass blog only has 9% of the votes saying Umass will win.

Leading answer - Michigan by between 21 to a Bazzillion .. 42%

trailed closely by - Michicgan by a Bazillion - 26%

Because of the schools that closed around there recently, and the fact that UMass is a #1 choice destination for transfers from BCS schools, we're not going to see a tasty McCupcake here. This school could probably pull off a decent season in the MAC. Do NOT look past them. We will probably need to play the first team defense at least half the game.
