UMass Upsets Rutgers in Shocking Blowout | Rutgers Scarlet News

Rutgers suffered a jaw-dropping defeat to UMass, losing 37-21 despite being heavy favorites — and UMass hadn’t beaten an FBS team in 23 games or won since last year’s winless season. The Minutemen, 29.5-point underdogs, stunned everyone with a 16-point victory, flipping the script after a 17-0 second-quarter surge. Rutgers clawed back with 14 fourth-quarter points but couldn’t overcome the deficit. UMass QB Dylan Lonergan threw two TDs and three INTs, while receiver KJ Duff shined with three scores for 196 yards. The win ties the all-time series at 3-3 — and Rutgers now faces Boston College Friday, still reeling from one of the most shocking upsets in college football this season.
