UMass Football News--April 26th, 2023

 The Hampshire Gazette reports UMass' offensive coordinator Steve Casula thinks there has been real progress this spring on offense.

Fixing the offense is very likely a multi-year task. For the last four years we have been near the bottom of FBS in nearly every offensive category.  Last year, most of the effort and recruiting went into the defense and there was a significant improvement.

This year, with two transfer QBs and a much deeper RB room, the focus is on moving the UMass offense out of college football's cellar. We are a bad-weather team and a decent running game would be a good place to start. It looks like we have made a good start on increasing speed and athleticism. The offensive line may still be an area of concern, especially depth.

I'm looking forward to seeing the UMass offense this year.

Anyone beside me think there may be a impending train wreck at Colorado?
