Josh Walfish reports on the opening of UMass training camp. He says QB Josh Johnson has been taking reps with both the receivers and QB's.

The team is wearing new white Schutt helmets.

Josh said new QB Andrew Brito stood out with his arm strength.

Ray Thomas-Ishman has been moved to guard. 

WMUA has some video and Q &A with Coach Bell from the first practice.

BTW, I contacted the Sports information office and asked if any of the Fall practices will be open to the public. No word so far.
