Is the UMASS PPV stream the only way to watch this game? Trying to plan ahead a bit.

I don't see it listed on my DishTV sports package. Sometimes games pop in late.

The game will be televised in the Lynchburg/Roanoke market on WZBJ Channel 24.

Which is what on Direct Tv?

I'm a 1/2 mile across the Va border with a NC zip. We'll have to break out the rabbit ears.

What's up with 24-3 4 and 5 in the Burg but not 1 or 2?

The Minutemen have established a pattern in outcomes this season that I hope continues against us. I am curious who will be at QB this week after the starter Ford missed the UConn win and fellow redshirt senior Comis performed reasonably well.

I had a chance to go back and watch the broadcast. The announcers said Ford is out for the season after undergoing ACL surgery.

UMASS horrible D ---- Liberty horrible D
UMASS has a stoudt receiver and a running back that will challenge our D
Liberty has stoudt recievers and a potential running game.
UMASS and Liberty can never decide what shows up on the field.
Tough call .. she loves me, she loves me not, she loves me .....

This is an important game for the season and program. NMSU game -terrible loss,was offset by Troy -great win. this is a game where we should have no excuse but to go in and play well after a bye and getting some key players healthy. A type of game that this staff has a penchant for losing - I would love to see them get over the hump. Then if we pull a big upset later it means a whole lot more.

UMASS favored by 2 .... not much respect shown our way given who we are playing.
I hope we come prepared as well

Whoever made Umass favorite must have gave it to them because they are home team.

That; and the fact their defense is the worst in the NCAA by a school not named Liberty!

Ford is a big loss. If he wasnt banged up all year they would be better. I know prior to the season he was expected to be the second or third best qb we faced this year behind fine and the uva kid. Heard that from multiple sources and a couple outside other coaches advisors felt that way as well.

Great coverage as always. I can't wait to see that W on our schedule Saturday night.

[FlamesHighontheTide]

Call me crazy, but I feel really good about this one. HCTG is 4-2 coming off a bye week and one of the two losses was to Coastal in Double OT 55-52. We easily could be 5-1 off bye weeks. Extra time seems to help Gill and the team. I am looking for that trend to continue this weekend especially with Matthews coming back and a few of the others. Saturday can't get here soon enough

Little bit of remorse from the fans for Pickett leaving their program.

[FlamesHighontheTide]

I hope Pickett does what one of the UMASS fans said, "I hope he scores 5 TD's against us."

[FlamesHighontheTide]

The line started at 3.5 in favor of Umass and it now stands at 1. Vegas is holding to that home-field advantage.

I really hope we win this by 2 or more scores.
