UMass has some video from Wednesday's practice and comments from DT Robert Kitching and coach Whipple. Kitching's UMass bio.

At 6-2 310, UMass fans hope Kitching is a force in his senior season at NT. In 2014 He went:

12-3 GP-GS 8 UT 35 AT 43 TT 5.5-12 TFL 0.5-1 SACKS. Kitching led the Minutemen with two blocked kicks.

Dan Malone has five questions with freshman RB Andy Isabella. Not all track guys are football players. One track player who UMass fans remember was Adrian Zullo, who was instrumental in the Minutemen's National Championship. At 5-7 155 Zullo was a tough football player. UMass needs all the team speed it can get (UMass fans who went to the Penn State game last year know what I mean). Hopefully Isabella can add a dimension to the Minutemen offense.
