UMass Football News--August 16th, 2021

Mike Traini of " Fight Massachusetts" previews the 2021 UMass quarterbacks.

Kyle Grabowski of the Hampshire Gazette has a post on the candidates for the starting QB position.

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

I would think Colorado transfer Tyler Lytle would be likely starter. Why bring him in otherwise? I also think the Minutemen brain trust would like to redshirt Brady Olson so as to get as many years of eligibility for him as possible.

Garrett Dzuro will probably be the #2. I thought Zamir Wise's throwing mechanics looked a lot better than the Spring game. He was throwing tight spirals on his short to medium distances.

Action Sports has UMass as one of the five best bets for the "over" in 2021.

Pitt adds a four-star transfer from Ohio State.

The UConn Blog (good name) looks at the Huskies quarterbacks. Then they look at the UConn running backs.

Liberty is receiving preseason top-25 votes in the Coaches Poll.

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

Coastal Carolina is #24 in the poll and Army, Liberty, BC, Florida State and Pitt are all receiving votes. As an Independent, UMass sure is handed some challenging schedules.
