UMass Football News--August 9th, 2019

Josh Walfish reports the Minutemen passing attack will feature WR's by committee.

Back in December of last year, the wide receiver unit was, I felt, maybe the top unit in terms of depth and talent going into 2019. If we're going to have an offense in 2019, it's probably going to mostly fall on the WR's. Football Study Hall has a nice article on the deference between the pro set and the spread.

I would guess Zack Simon as the "X" receiver, Samuel Emilus as the "Y" and Sadiq Palmer as the "Z". Jessie Britt, Brennon Dingle and JUCO Javon Turner should also get a lot of reps.
