Michael Traini of "Fight Massachusetts" has a 2024 quarterback position review.

As I said when I reviewed the QB room, I think the 2024 quarterbacks are as deep as we've had in a long time. Hopefully, Taisun Phommachanh will stay healthy and lead us to victories this year.

The UMass Athletic dept announces the 2024 Minutemen Hall-of-Fame class.

In it is Dennis Fenton who won letters in 1974, 1975 and 1976. Fenton was first team all Yankee Conference in 1976.

For 2024 opening opponent Eastern Michigan, Broderick Roman is the heart of the Eagles offensive line.

Hustle Belt looks at this year's rebuilt offense for the Toledo Rockets. Toledo lost the MAC's MVP and the MAC's Offensive player-of-the-year to the transfer portal. In addition the Rockets retain zero offensive line starters. For most MAC teams that would signal a rebuilding year, but Toledo will probably still contend for the MAC championship.

Hustle Belt also previews Buffalo's defense. The Bulls are the Minutemen's third game of the season and a decent opportunity for a road win.
