  • Team of the Week: UMass
    Sep 8 2026
    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.splitzoneduo.com

    Not even a year ago, Rodger Sherman joined Alex for a deep dive into how the UMass Minutemen made a case as the worst team in modern history.Now, we have a much different episode about UMass: They’re our TEAM OF THE WEEK coming out of Week 1. This is a new subscriber series in which we talk about a team in college football attempting to do something that nobody else is trying to do. Rodger and Richard cover the Minutemen, fresh off their season-opening win over Rutgers. Let’s talk about this rising team from the MAC:

    * 0:18: Why UMass earned TOTW honors

    * 5:49: Pop Watson! The option! What a win in Piscataway

    * 11:10: The very New Englandy character of the team

    * 16:06: UMass’ investment in not being terrible

    * 25:37: Are we crazy, or is a bowl a possibility?
