UMass Football News--September 22nd, 2021

 Coastal Carolina has their game notes for UMass up.

I had forgotten Bill Durkin is offensive line coach at Coastal Carolina. I watched him play for the Minutemen and I think I spoke with him at several UMass functions back in the day.

The Hampshire Gazette reports Brady Olson is becoming more comfortable as the starting QB.

The injury report looks a little better than last week. Starter LB Zack Magis is out for the season. Nose tackle Taishan Holmes is likely out as is DL Xavier Gonsalves and LB Drew Harvey. On the offensive side OL Brian Parrish is out and TE Josiah Johnson (who had two TD's against Eastern Michigan) is iffy.

OTOH, CBS Sports has UMass as #6 in the bottom 25.
