## Resource

UMass shocked the football world with a stunning upset win over Big Ten rival Rutgers, defeating them 37-21 on the road after a brutal 16-game losing streak. The Minutemen, once considered hopeless underdogs, exploded for 24 points in the first half — a stark contrast to their entire 2025 season where they never scored more than 22. The turnaround? Likely tied to the departure of former offensive coordinator Mike Bajakian, who left for an NFL job coaching quarterbacks for the Cleveland Browns — despite his college offenses consistently failing to score and his limited experience with elite QBs. Now, the Browns are betting on Bajakian to revive Deshaun Watson’s career — a gamble that could backfire, given his track record.
