Wednesday--April 8th, 2015

Remember, today is the Football team's bone marrow registry drive.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The UMass website has some sights and sounds from Spring practice (video).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matty Vautour features returning UMass LB Shane Huber. Huber's UMass bio. Good to hear Huber is ready to go after his knee injury. He's listed as 6-3 250 in the Spring roster. That's FBS size in a MLB.

Last year final depth chart had Jovan Santos-Knox (6-2 240) as one starter. Vondell Langston (6-2 220) and Steve Casali (6-2 232) as the reserves. John Robinson-Woodgett is another option.

It's hard to imagine anyone replacing Jovan Santos-Knox as a starter. He went 12-12 GS GP 53 ST 90 AT 143 TT (led the team) 8.4-17 TFL 2.0 SACKS 3 FF. Steve Casali had 23 TT and Vondell Langston had 20 TT.

Huber's return and the two new DB's should give the Minutemen defense more options and talent in 2015.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bowling Green, our first MAC opponent of 2015 has a new starting QB. Johnson's Bowling Green bio.

The Star Press has more on Falcons' QB battle.

The UMass defense had three INT's against Johnson in our loss to Bowling Green last year.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Buffalo Bulls are looking for stability at their QB position.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Former UMass player Steve Dembowski (1991, 1992 and 1993) has big plans for Milton High.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today's Pigskin has a feature on Victor Cruz's road to recovery. Mentions UMass and has an image of him in his Minutemen uniform.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OT, but could Derrick Gordon end up at Syracuse?
