Well Blake Frohnapfel was the best thing UMass fans have seen in a long time. Besides his amazin' numbers (334.5 yards a game is a UMass record by a large margin), Frohnapfel has the intangibles that make an effective QB. I was at the Colgate game 2005 out in Andy Kerr Stadium when Tim Day threw four INT's in the first half. Liam Coen came in the second half and went 20-35-193 and two TD's to spark a furious UMass comeback. Coen started every game for the rest of his career after that. Frohnapfel has those kind of intangibles He looked good and suddenly UMass has a bunch of good receivers. Sixteen Minuteman players caught passes in 2014.
Frohnapfel will be the starting Minutemen QB as long as his career lasts (hopefully 13 games in 2015).
Verboys has by far the best foot speed of the rest of the QB's. He could get some reps out of the wildcat next year. Comis has had a lot of favorable press; it'll be interesting to see him in the Spring game. Since Frohnapfel will certainly be the starting QB in 2015, A.J. Doyle may not want to sit out another year. Whipple's second game was OK, but it looked like everyone lost a gear---- it looked like 2013. However, Whipple did improve a lot in his second game.

The annual Max Page dog-and-pony show went off yesterday. Please all UMass fans, if you get a chance to meet him , shake Chancellor Subbasawamy's hand for defending UMass football.
The facility senate then voted to dissolve the ad-hoc committee on football.
