UMass Defies Odds in Historic Upset | Rutgers Scarlet News

UMass just pulled off one of the biggest upsets in college football history, beating Rutgers by 16 points as a 29.5-point underdog — and they did it after going winless for two years. This isn’t just a game; it’s a moment decades in the making for the program, with their quarterback from Virginia Tech torching a Big Ten defense led by Greg Schiano. With 37 points scored, UMass didn’t just cover the spread — they obliterated expectations, becoming the biggest underdog win since Texas State shocked Houston in 2012. It’s proof that in sports, anything can happen — especially when the underdogs have nothing left to lose. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
