Woah! Actual UMass Football News!

The UMass website has an interview with Coach Brown on UMass Spring Practice. Be still my heart! Actual UMass Football News. The video clip will probably be moved to the Official UMass Football Page soon.

First news, UMass captains for 2008 have been selected.

• Sean Calicchio OT
• Liam Coen QB
  
• Sean Smalls CB
  
• Brandon Collier DT (Junior)

On offense, Brown said that Emil Igwenagu has been playing the fullback slot while Chris Zardas is recovering. He said without giving any names that we have talent at WR.

On defense, he said George Byrd has the weak side linebacker nailed down. He mentioned Johnny Evans and Sam Besong also at the "will" position. Anthony Rouzier and Andy Rensende-gomes are being looked at for the strong side. Middle linebacker is still open apparently.
