I see that we have scheduled two FBS schools for 2019.  I am guessing that it's a financial necessity, but it nearly knocks us out of playoff contention before the season even starts.

Travel to Massachusetts can't be cheap either.

Curious move.

I don't think we have to worry about playoffs again as long as Nick Hill is coach.   Next year is a probably a good year to be a sacrificial lamb and take the paychecks.

Is this game on the UMass campus or is it at Foxboro?

UMASS schedule shows it is in Amherst.

Tough schedule. I wouldn't be surprised to see us sub .500. No gimmes. Even the UT-Martin game won't be easy. They weren't good last year but have the 2nd best recruiting class in FCS according to Hero Sports, including 7 JC transfers. Hopefully one of our QBs will turn out to be a stud.

Very tough sched. Will be hard to get to 4-7. We will have a really good QB though.

I should get to see my Dawgs twice in person in 2019.  UMass game at Amherst and back in The Dale for Homecoming

What I don't like about this schedule is that 4 of the 1st 5 games are on the road. We could easily start the season 1-4 which would lower moral for fans and players.
