Massachusetts’s résumé mixes a quality neutral-site win over Oregon State and a notable home victory over Harvard with damaging nonconference setbacks to College Charleston, Wisconsin Green Bay and Marshall that undercut its upside. Those poor results blunt the value of routine wins over SUNY Albany, Le Moyne and Central Connecticut and make away-from-home proof points crucial. The Minutemen still control how their story finishes with upcoming chances to repair the picture against Boston College at home and in the neutral test with Florida State and by proving they can win on the road in league play when they travel to Akron and other conference venues.
