2012 Massachusetts Minutemen

[Jack Lambert]

Here are your starting white Minutemen for one of the FBS's newest members in Massachusetts. Expect the Minutemen to struggle mightily this year; it'll be an upset if they win more than 1-2 games. Since this is UMass's first year in the FBS, we have not kept track of their past numbers of white starters. They look to start 9 in their inaugural FBS season.

White players on the projected two-deep to look out for are QB Brandon Hill, WR Brian Dowling(wow, he lasted long at RB):mad2:, C Anddy Moas, (The only two whites on the OL two deep, what's up with UMass and a nearly all-black line??):icon_confused:, and MLB Tom Brandt. Wow, only 13 whites out of 44 players on the two-deep for UMass. It's safe to say UMass will fit right in with most of the FBS teams with recruiting like that.

Offense
QB- Kellen Pagel
H-Back- Rob Blanchflower
WR- Chase Danska
TE- Brandon Howard- in a fight for the position
RT- Anthony Dima

Defense
DE- Brandon Potvin
DT- Kevin Byrne
DE- Daniel Maynes- in a fight for the position
OLB- Tim Brandt

Jack, for some reason I decided to preview Massachusetts when they were FCS back in '08. That year they had 8 White starters. Looks like things have stayed pretty much the same over the past 5 seasons, or at least appear that way. That was the only other year they were previewed.
