No one pretended UMass would be good this season. Since joining the FBS in 2012, UMass has never won more than four games in a season.
Expectations were low, but this is the abyss.
Losing to Rutgers stunk. Losing by 25 to FCS Southern Illinois was shocking. Now, losing 52-17 to Charlotte, is numbing. Look into oblivion UMass football. It’s darker than ever before.
How’d UMass get here? The minutemen were a respected program at the FCS level. They won the 1998 National Championship. They played in the 2006 National Championship.

UMass did everything wrong since transitioning to FBS.
