College football is not as popular in this part of the country. Boston College and UMass both have Division 1A programs, but fail to generate a lot of excitement.
BC has fallen on hard times in recent years. UMass has been a disaster when it comes to winning games.
They face each other on Saturday at Gillette Stadium. Will the fans turn out? Both schools have a huge alumnae in the area. Can they get at least 30,000 in the seats?
Last Saturday night, #127th ranked UMass took on #25 Florida. They trailed 10-7 going into the fourth quarter, before losing 24-7. It was a great showing by them as they were 36 point underdogs.
BC is favored by 16 1/2 over UMass. Everyone expects UMass to continue their losing ways. It should be a great game.
