I dunno about this. We're 12th in the MAC in scoring offense, 12th in total offense, 12th in total offense, 12th in passing offense and 11th in passing efficiency. Minutemen quarterbacks have thrown 12 INT's and 8 TD passes. The defense has arguably played well enough for UMass to be 3-3 in league play. With a better offense, you could probably add a victory over Maine and we could have put a scare into BCS Vanderbilt.
Doyle has not been able to shake the injury bug. I would really like to see him catch fire, but can the program stand another double-digit loss total in 2014? In football, competition is good. If it were me, I'd strongly look for a JUCO or a fifth year gunslinger. One or two years would not derail Stafford's or West's career.
As I said in last Sunday's post, I saw UMass fans still buying Minutemen stuff after the Akron loss. The fanbase wants to get energized. I realize how big a jump we're making, but in 2014 UMass really needs some wins.
