Monday--August 22nd, 2016

Matty Vautour looks at competition to make the traveling squad among the UMass running backs.

The Minutemen went into Spring ball with only two scholarship RB's: Marquis Young and Sekai Lindsay. IMHO, that means at least one and possibly both freshmen RB's Bilal Ally and Peytton Picket are a virtual lock to see some significant carries in 2016. John Robinson-Woodget is the starting FB. Whipple likes to see the FB catch the ball out of the backfield, but rarely calls a running play that position. Andrew Libby will probably back up Robinson-Woodget at FB.
