BC Vs. UMass ‘Battle Of The Bay State’ Game Airs Saturday On NESN

The best college football team in Massachusetts will be decided at Gillette Stadium on Saturday, and you can watch all the action live on NESN.

The UMass Minutemen will host the Boston College Eagles in the “Battle of the Bay State” at noon ET. Both teams enter the game 0-1, although the Minutemen likely will feel better about themselves after giving Florida an upset scare in their opener, while the Eagles let one slip away to Georgia Tech in Dublin, Ireland.

That will be far from the only college football game on NESN and NESNplus on Saturday, though. North Dakota vs. Bowling Green (3:30 p.m.) and Holy Cross vs. New Hampshire (7 p.m.) also will be on NESNplus, while Charleston Southern vs. Florida State airs at 5 p.m. on NESN.
