Bowl? If Pop and the team keep playing like this, a MAC title is in play

Dude I haven't seen fat guys dominate for us like that since the coach of the Jaguars was our QB

Nah I'm a UMass fan who follows Rutgers because I'm from NJ and half my family went there.

UMass was good in the trenches on the other side of the ball, too.

Agreed. To play like that away against a lower four team they have some hope for a great season in the MAC. Look at Ohio last year. Played Rutgers away close, beat an injured wvu at home and they went on to be 9-4. When you got a qb throwing like that who can escape for yards when needed and big guys on the line who can get you 2-3 yards of space each play, you got a good shot at a 8/9 win team out the MAC.
