In a game that we have lovingly deemed the Malört Bowl, Northwestern (1-8, 0-7 Big Ten) will host the Massachusetts Minutemen (1-9), arguably the worst team in the FBS, this Saturday at 11:00 a.m. at Ryan Field.
To examine how UMass, who joined college football’s top level as an independent seven years ago, got to this point as a program, and to discuss whether they have any chance at competing this weekend (or, perhaps more importantly, covering the spread) we talked to UMass Basketball Podcast producer (yes, they talk about football too) and proud Massachusetts alum Bennett Karoll.
