Matty V has three stars vs Indiana.

Matty also has the Big Ten vs the MAC. UMass, Central Michigan and Miami all lost big.

Former Michigan running back Michael Cox is ready to play his old teammates.

He also has growing pains pay off in the end. Matty says Anthony Dima and Christian Birt will be back for the Michigan game. Both those players will help. Getting Dima back will help UMass now that we're finally getting close to some MAC games--games in which we should be more competitive. Even the MAC schedule is front-loaded with the winnable games at the end of the season.
