Monday--March 27th, 2017

Dan Malone has a post on Andrew Ford's upcoming second year as starting QB.

Ford finished 46th in passing efficiency in 2016 and 25th in TD's thrown. With Adam Breneman and Andy Isabella coming back, he should have two receivers to rely on. Isabella went 62-801 12.9 AVE 7 TD's 55 LONG.

UMass needs more production from the rest of the WR corps. Sophomore Sadiq Palmer, Redshirt freshman Brennon Dingle and Freshman Patrick Volcy need to help.

The Minutemen might get some production from the 2017 recruits. Six-foot five JUCO Jacoby Herring and Jesse Britt could get significant playing time.

Coastal Carolina is preparing for their first FBS season. Hopefully, UMass will give them a rough start.

While the UMass passing game did fine in 2016, the running game did not.  Michigan RB Kingston Davis is available...
