Just bringing up the name UMass sends shudders down a BYU Football fan’s spine. After all, Senior Day last year was one of the lowest points in the program’s history, at least since LaVell Edwards took over as head coach.
The Minutemen came into Provo and outplayed the listless Cougars. BYU played decently on defense, but the offense was completely anemic.
Fast forward nearly a full year and the story is almost completely the same. The only difference is that BYU has to travel more than 2,000 miles to get their revenge over UMass. And like last year’s game, the Cougars will be bringing along a good defense and an offense that struggles to figure out where the end zone is.
