UMass is currently the #2 scoring offense and #7 scoring defense in the country.

Rutgers, you're going back to half-share for this.

Happy 20th season anniversary, BTN!

Rutgers being bad makes it hard to contextualize how big of an upset this was. UMass projected to be one of, if not the worst team in CFB and won on the road by 18 as 29.5 point dogs

This is like Michigan vs Appalachian State if Appalachian State only played their backups and Michigan brought JJ McCarthy back to play QB, then spent the entire game telling everyone how they played the first college football game in history
