Lets hope the UMASS defense can still pound away without the big #93 Byrne. I think he may have incurred a season ending injury at Richmond. Refs need to be more attentive to chop blocking which seems all too common at this level.
That would be a big loss for the UMass defense.
I was just looking at defensive statistics last night and thinking to myself how improved things are this year.
In 2010 Byrne had 13 TT 3.5 TFL and 0 sacks for the entire year.
In eight games this year, he has 26 TT, 1 TFL and 1 SACK.
In 2010 the defense had 12 sacks for 70 yards for the whole season.
In 2011, in eight games, the defense has 18 sacks for 117 yards.
Last year, 38-128 TFL for the whole year.
This year 48-202 TFL in eight games...
