UMass Stuns Rutgers with Upset Win; Snaps 16-Game Skid
UMass entered as a 29-point underdog and handed Rutgers one of its worst losses, increasing pressure on Greg Schiano.
- On Thursday night, the University of Massachusetts football program stunned Rutgers University with a 37-21 upset victory at SHI Stadium, breaking a 16-game losing streak for the Minutemen.

- Minutemen quarterback William Watson III threw for 197 yards and three touchdowns, helping the offense rack up 397 total yards without a turnover.

- Schiano is in Year Seven of his second stint at Rutgers, which faces USC in two weeks, while UMass returns to Amherst on Sept. 12 to face the Sacred Heart Pioneers.
