At Arizona John went 11 GP 66-280 4.2 AVE 23 LONG. Also had 11-66 yards receiving. 

Coach Brown says he wants to have a run-first offense and the Minutemen have added a lot of fresh talent in the RB room.

UMass still needs experience on the O-line. Murphy has 17 starts at the FBS level and also plays OT. He could find a lot of playing time in Amherst with Coach Miller.
