The Greenfield Recorder reports technology comes to UMass kicking and punting.

Fans tend to under rate the kicking game. Most pundits believe that in general, home teams tend to have about  3 point advantage. That's one field goal for the opposing team. Last year Cameron Carson was #77 in kicking, averaging one field goal per game.

MAC leading Miami (Ohio) averaged two per game. Two field goals a game would have added UMass wins over Eastern Michigan and New Mexico.
