UMASS went 0-12 last year and had lost 16 games in a row.

They scored 14 or less points in 10 of their 12 games last year, and lost by 4+ touchdowns in nine of them.

They were outscored 214-54 over their last 5 games of 2025. An average score of 43-11.

They had lost 23 straight games against FBS opponents.

They went 8-76 over the last 8 seasons.

They’ve had 7 seasons with 1 or 0 wins since 2011.

They had never beaten a power 4/power 5 team.

Today, they went into Rutgers, as a 29.5-point underdog, and scored 30 unanswered en route to their first win against an FBS team since October 2023 at Army.

They also lost a game against Buffalo last year that I’m not sure was even mathematically possible to lose.
