Is the September 7, 1991 thrashing of Cincinnati to the tune of 81-0 at peril this week as a modern-era margin of victory and shutout?—Smee
It could very well be, but I lean towards no. UMass is better than their lack of logos suggest (though Penn State is legitimately one of the best teams in the nation). On offense, in particular, the Minutemen are actually pretty average - the issue for them is, though, that this week they’re up against a defense that is simply ELITE, and the best they’ll face by far all season.
Debbie Downer alert.
