UMass Football News--August 21, 2021

 Mike Traini of "Fight Massachusetts" has a position review of the UMass TE's.

I would like to see Taylor Edwards have a rewarding final season. He's stuck by the program through some tough times and has also battled injuries. A productive final season would be a nice reward for his time at UMass.

Freshmen Eni Falayi 6-6 235 and Jackson Manning 6-5 245, both three-star recruits, are the future of the TE room. Coach Bell has said a number of times he likes his TE roster. Hopefully, they'll be a catalyst for a offensive renaissance in 2021.

The UMass website has a video interview with TE coach Segler.

Kyle Grabowski of the Hampshire Gazette has a post on how Alex Miller is building a strong foundation with the UMass offensive line. 

A better run game would go a long way in improving the Minutemen offense. Averaging 2.3 yards/carry like 2020, won't win many games (or non at all).

The Rhode Island Rams are thrilled to be back playing football.
