Ohio vs. UMass Prediction, Odds, Picks - November 18, 2025
Brandon Rose - Splits reps with Hairston in loss Rose completed 11 of 20 passes for 101 yards during Wednesday's 45-3 defeat versus Northern Illinois. He also had eight rushes for 12 yards.
Impact Rose got in during the second quarter of the blowout loss, and he ended up splitting reps with current starter AJ Hairston. The pair both ended up finishing with not great stat lines, so it's unknown who will be under center next week at Ohio.
NOVEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
AJ Hairston - Splits reps in blowout loss Hairston was 13-for-21 passing for 91 yards during Wednesday's 45-3 defeat versus Northern Illinois. He also had three rushes for 23 yards.
Impact Hairston started out the game for the Minutemen for the Wednesday showing, but he ended up splitting reps with position mate Brandon Rose. Hairston has struggled as UMass's starting quarterback so far this campaign, so it's not much of a surprise that the coaches are trying out other options. It's unknown how involved he'll be at Ohio next Tuesday now.

Grant Jordan - Shows off legs in blowout Jordan was 4-for-8 passing for 38 yards during Tuesday's 44-10 defeat versus Akron. He also had seven rushes for 51 yards.
Impact While Jordan only got in against the Zips when the game was out of hand, he showcased some solid rushing skills. The depth quarterback got to play over position mate Brandon Rose as well, making it likely Jordan could assume the QB1 role again if AJ Hairston gets benched. That decision will be awaited in next week's showing versus NIU.
NOVEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
AJ Hairston - Struggles continue against Zips Hairston was 12-for-20 passing for 54 yards and one touchdown during Tuesday's 44-10 loss against Akron.
Impact Hairston struggled to get the Minutemen going once again, and his squad has yet to get a win. The redshirt freshman quarterback did toss a touchdown and had no turnovers, but threw for his worst yardage total in five weeks. He'll aim to hopefully keep it competitive against Northern Illinois if he remains the starter next week.
NOVEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Jacquon Gibson - Six receptions, zero touchdowns Gibson (undisclosed) logged six receptions (on nine targets) for 35 yards during Massachusetts' 44-10 loss Tuesday at Akron.
Impact For 2025, Gibson's updated stats include 42 receptions (on 71 targets) for 393 yards, which would be his career-best. Yet, the wide receiver is still trying to log his first touchdown.

Rocko Griffin - Playing in game Griffin (undisclosed) is playing in Tuesday's game at Akron, Kevin McCaskill of FP Sports reports.
Impact Griffin was questionable ahead of the game, but he ended up running with the first-team offense and is in the matchup. The 5-foot-9 rusher is looking to build off a 23-carry game before the Minutemen's bye week.
NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Rose - Off availability report Rose (undisclosed) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against Akron.
Impact Rose has started a pair of games during his injury-plagued 2025 season. He'll be healthy for Tuesday's matchup against Akron, but AJ Hairston is slated to serve as the Minutemen's starting signal caller.
NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Reece Adkins - Still sidelined Adkins (undisclosed) won't play in Tuesday's game against Akron.
Impact Adkins will miss a second straight game due to an undisclosed injury. The tight end had caught a pass in four straight games before getting hurt, totaling five receptions on nine targets for 89 yards and no touchdowns. His next chance to play will come Nov. 12 against NIU. Max Dowling should handle most of the TE work Tuesday.
NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Da'Marion Alberic - Out at Akron Alberic (undisclosed) is inactive for Tuesday's game at Akron.
Impact Alberic will miss his third game of the season as UMass travels to Akron. The 5-foot-10 running back has averaged 2.67 carries in his last three games. He'll aim for a return next Wednesday.
NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Rocko Griffin - Uncertain for Tuesday Griffin (undisclosed) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Akron.
Impact Griffin missed three straight games due to a toe injury before suiting up in UMass's previous game. The running back is on the injury report once again leading up to Week 11, though it's unclear if it's related to his toe issue. If Griffin sits, Brandon Hood and Juwaun Price would likely handle most of the RB duties.
NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Jacquon Gibson - Questionable against Akron Gibson is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Akron with an undisclosed injury.
Impact Gibson missed back-to-back games before returning to the field in Week 9. Now, coming out of a bye, Gibson is on the injury report. The standout wide receiver has caught 36 of his 62 passes for 358 yards across six appearances. If he can't play, look for Donnie Gray, Jake McConnachie or Kenyon Massey to see a bump in usage.

Impact Hairston logged a whopping season-high 51 passing attempts against the Chippewas, but he had nothing to show for them with just 176 yards and one interception. The 6-foot-3 quarterback has failed to get a win for the Minutemen so far this season. He's thrown three touchdowns and four interceptions in his five starts this season.
OCTOBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Max Dowling - Suits up against Chips Dowling (undisclosed) posted one reception (on five targets) for four yards during Saturday's 38-13 defeat against Central Michigan.
Impact Dowling was previously listed as questionable for Saturday's contest due to an undisclosed injury but was able to suit up against Central Michigan. The 6-foot-6 tight end was held quiet on the day, catching just one of his five targets for four yards on the day. Dowling has struggled to remain involved within the UMass passing attack lately, recording just three receptions over the team's last three games. His next opportunity will come against Akron following the team's upcoming bye.
OCTOBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Jacquon Gibson - Targeted twice during Week 9 Gibson (undisclosed) tallied zero receptions (on two targets) for zero yards during Saturday's 38-13 loss versus Central Michigan.
Impact Gibson's latest targets mark his first since Week 6. Before maximizing his statistical output, the wide receiver's focus will be on regaining trust between him and Massachusetts' primary quarterback. In between Weeks 0 and 7, Gibson logged 12.0 targets per game.
OCTOBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Rocko Griffin - Solid among backs Griffin (toe) posted seven rushes for 56 yards and one touchdown and caught all four targets for 27 yards during Saturday's 38-13 loss against Central Michigan.
