The 2019 UMass Minutemen football season has been taken behind the barn and put down, like a horse with a bum leg. It’s merciful. Thank God it’s over.
After the final whistle in UMass’ loss to BYU, the team’s new record was making the rounds. UMass allowed more points in 2019 than any team has ever allowed in one season. They let up 632 points on the season, which is good for 52.7 points per game. New Mexico State is the second worst defense in 2019, allowing 40.3 points per game.
Concerned that the defense wasn’t that bad and it was a bunch of special teams and defensive scores that beat them?
