Tuesday before William & Mary -August 31st, 2010

UMass' game notes for William and Mary in pdf and html.

The UMass depth chart is on page 6. The o-line does not match yesterday's article by the Springfield Republican, but game notes often don't match the actual game starters in my experience.

By my count, 17 Red Shirt Freshman or true Freshman on the two-deep chart.

The MGoBlog looks at Michigan's secondary and "while mournfully contemplating everything from Mike Floyd to whatever 5'8" guy UMass will throw out there this year."

Back on August 24th the Wiz of Odds Blog had this to say about the Wolverines secondary:"Trouble is brewing in the Wolverine secondary. It started with All-Big Ten selection Donovan Warren leaving for the NFL after his junior season. Prized but troubled defensive back Demar Dorsey was signed to a letter of intent in February, but was denied entrance into the school. Boubacar Cissoko, who started four games in 2009, is now serving time in the real Big House for his role in multiple robberies. Adrian Witty, a prized recruit in 2009, didn't qualify academically. J.T. Turner, another high-profile recruit, was granted his release and is looking to transfer. Senior Troy Woolfolk, the backfield's most experienced player, is lost for the season after injuring his lower right leg. That leaves redshirt sophomore cornerback J.T. Floyd as the only player who has started in college. If you're name is Rich Rodriguez, 8-16 after two seasons as coach, there is reason for concern."
