We lose a couple in the recruiting wars:
- QB Brian Hudson verbaled to Liberty. I blogged about him back here .
- OG Keith Bourne verbaled to Boston College . I did a blog post on him here .
Former UMass Captain (1977) Peter McCarty is defensive line coach for the Western Michigan Broncos. I first saw this on the UMass Athletic Dept's "Just a minute' column.
More scans from the 1977 team are in the "UMass Football History" link in the Blog side bar.
