Well, considering that UConn just lost to Temple, yeah, it's definitely possible.
September 18th, 2010 at 4:18 PM ^
Fail!!!!
September 18th, 2010 at 7:04 PM ^
What?
September 18th, 2010 at 4:12 PM ^
Probably.

Umass looked more experienced on offense and really executed their gameplan. Uconn is still trying to find it's identity.
September 18th, 2010 at 4:13 PM ^
It'd be competitive. UMASS actually had a higher Sagarin rating going into this week (so according to that metric, UMASS would be expected to win). Both are similar, but Frazier (UCONN) hasn't looked that solid this season. UMASS's QB made several throws that Frazier hasn't so far. I think UCONN's lines probably would handle UMASS's over the course of a whole game, much like our O-Line did.

trying to rationalize how "good" UMass is. Sorry.
September 18th, 2010 at 4:18 PM ^
Probably not. But maybe?
September 18th, 2010 at 4:20 PM ^
OMG we're 3-0, and our QB is a front runner for the Heisman. PANIC!

Could the Coyote catch Jerry?
Could Elmer Fudd ever shoot Donald Duck?
Would Minnie Mouse have better sex with Speedy Gonzales?

These are Jeff Sagarin's ratings for the teams we've played this year:
51 -- Notre Dame
69 -- UMass
80 -- Connecticut
So, according to that, yeah. They probably could. And since Temple (ranked #60) beat UConn today, I wouldd say they definitely could.
Incidentally, Bowling Green is ranked #108...so at least we've got that going for us next week.

so that would play into the game pregame mindsets, kind of like MSU playing CMU. I would favor UCONN to win because I feel they have the better talent, but today UMass showed me something on offense; I thought they executed well and they have the manpower to make that offense work. It would probably be a great game either way.

It doesn;t mean they will beat them everytime or most of the tiem if they played multiple times, but Umass is a good team with the capability to compete and beat many teams.
