UMass Football News--April 28th, 2023

The Hampshire Gazette reports the UMass defense wants to be the best unit on the field.

The Minutemen defense made a significant improvement in 2022. They went from nearly the worst in football to respectable. The defense went from last in FBS, giving up 43.1 points/game to #103 and 31.1 points/game. This year, I think we'll be able to be a more attacking defense and the results will be even better. 

As usual, playing Auburn and Penn State will hurt  the stats some, but against Group-of-Five; we'll play well.

Speaking of Auburn, apparently they are still searching for a starting QB.

The weather predicts showers for tomorrow afternoon. I'll be there and hope it'll hold off until the scrimmage finishes.

Will the PAC-12 raid the Big 12?
