UMass Football News--December 7th, 2021

 The Daily Hoosier reports former UMass coach Walt Bell has been hired as offensive coordinator for Indiana.

MassLive also has a post on Bell's hiring.

The Hampshire Gazette also has a story on Bell becoming Indiana's OC.

As the stories relate, this is good news for UMass as Bell's earnings will offset the cost of his buyout. Which, in turn means there will be more funding available for Brown's new staff.

In addition, Pitt QB Kenny Pickett is a finalist for the Heisman Trophy.
