The University of Massachusetts Minutemen have officially joined a list no one wants to be on.

UMass has gone 0-12 in the 2025 college football season. 

Their last chance for a victory came and went on Tuesday evening. Bowling Green visited Massachusetts and left with a convincing victory.

Fittingly, it poured on the UMass turf the entire second half.
