Toughest opponents left from worst to best

I think Western is worse. They got drummed 52 - 7 in their home opener vs ECU. Also UMASS threw up 35 on State. I'm embarrassed by my anxiety level over this game.


EDIT: It was the opener vs. ECU. Didn't realize I put "home". The game was @ ECU.

Oh, well frick us

I think UMASS is about ready to fold if they haven't yet already. The opener versus Florida you never know what to expect from teams - the favored ones needing a game or two to gel, while the underdog is fired up for the season and tries to shock the world.

The Miss State game was played in Foxboro Stadium which is the Minutemen's home away from home for their bigger opponents, and MSU had the score 41-21 well into the 4th qtr. before giving up 2 late TDs.

UMASS just got doubled up by LA-Tech 56-28 on their home field, and are 1-4 at home and 0-2 on the road. They've lost 4 in a row and also have a number of key injuries.

I'm concerned because it looks like we may start Bentley for the 1st time this season: I'm not pessimistic about Bentley and think he's a very talented QB, but with it being his first college action of any kind it could stunt whatever chance we have of jumping out early and controlling the game if he struggles. But either way we really should be decisive favorites here....
