Nothing against Amherst, or the University of Massachusetts, but I can think of many opponents I’d rather watch Missouri play than this one. On the road as a 28 point favorite, coming off a game where you looked like ass on national TV, there’s really no winning this game.
And I say this again as no disrespect intended to UMass. The way the Tigers have scheduled traditionally is with one FCS opponent, one ‘Power Five’ opponent, and two ‘Group of Five’ opponents. The Tigers don’t travel against non Power Five opponents often, but when they do it can be rocky.
