ISABELLA CATCHES FIRE (ALSO, THE FOOTBALL)Junior wide receiver Andy Isabella averages 111.5 receiving yards and 6.0 receptions per game over the last four games in becoming the team’s leading target during the second half of the season.

In the span of three wins and a loss, the 5-foot-10, 195-pound speedster owns 24 catches, 446 receiving yards and five touchdowns, including a career best three versus Maine. A “big gain” threat, Isabella has three receptions of 60 or more yards during that four-game span.

‘QUIS COMING THROUGHJunior running back Marquis Young is matching Andy Isabella’s production through the air on the ground with 447 rushing yards over 58 carries during the most recent four games, an average of 14.5 carries and 111.8 rushing yards per appearance. In that span, he has four touchdowns.

Young’s recent stretch of success pushed him over 800 rushing yards for the season, his third consecutive year with 800 or more yards on the ground.

STEADY TARGETSTwo Massachusetts receivers sport catch streaks of 20 or more games through the opening 10 contests of the season. Andy Isabella sits at 22 consecutive games (12 in 2016; 10 in 2017) while Adam Breneman is at 21 consecutive games (12 in 2016; nine in 2017) as he missed the Tennessee contest due to injury.

Breneman and Isabella’s streaks of 20 or more appearances with a reception make Massachusetts one of only five teams with a pair of receivers on the list. It also includes Clemson (Deon Cain, Hunter Renfro), Florida (Antonio Callaway, Brandon Powell), Illinois (Mike Dudek, Malik Turner) and Memphis (Phil Mayhue, Anthony Miller).

ISABELLA LOVES SEC COUNTRYAndy Isabella posed a career-best 158 yards over seven receptions, including a 69-yard score at No. 21 Mississippi State. In five games against SEC competition over the last two seasons, Isabella compiled 24 receptions for 368 yards. It includes games on the road at No. 25 Florida (2016), South Carolina (2016), Tennessee (2017) and the Bulldogs (2017) along with a Gillette Stadium game against Mississippi State (2016).

He had three receptions of 50 or more yards over those five games, including a 53-yard catch at Florida and 52 and 69-yard receptions against No. 21 Mississippi State (11/4/17).

YOUNG IS RESTLESS IN THE BACKFIELDIn the last four games, Marquis Young recorded 447 rushing yards over 58 carries (7.7 ypc), includ-ing four for touchdowns, during wins over Georgia Southern (10/21), Appalachian State (10/28) and Maine (11/11) and the near-upset at No. 21 Mississippi State (11/4). He had more than 100 yards rushing vs. the Eagles, Mountaineer and Black Bears, his first three games with 100+ on the season and his eighth, ninth and 10th career outings in triple digits.

He had 101 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries against Georgia Southern before he posted 132 yards and two scores over 15 carries against Appalachian State. Young added 91 yards over 11 carries at Mississippi State ahead of his 19-carry, 123-yard, one-touchdown day vs. Maine.

OFFENSE DOES NUMBERSThe Massachusetts offense is averaging 41.0 points per game over the last four contests, with 50 against Ohio, 58 versus Georgia Southern, 30 in the win over Appalachian State, 23 at Mississippi State and 44 versus Maine. The 50 points against Ohio were the most of the FBS era for the team until UMass posted 58 in their next time on the field.

In that span, the run game averaged 180.2 yards per game, led by 100.6 by Marquis Young and 45.8 from Bilal Ally. Young has four touchdowns and averaged 7.0 yards per carry in that span while Ally totaled three scores and hits for 4.4 yards per attempt. Andrew Ford and Ross Comis are a combined 110-for-182 (.604) with 14 touchdowns against three interceptions. Six receivers have more than 150 receiving yards in that span as well, led by Andy Isabella’s 489 on 28 receptions (17.5 per catch).

OVERTIME MINUTEMENMassachusetts played the first overtime game of the team’s FBS era against Appalachian State and walked off of the McGuirk Alumni Stadium field winners, 30-27, in double overtime. It was the first overtime game since Nov. 3, 2007 (L, 12-6 at Rhode Island [OT]).

The win over Appalachian State marked the team’s 11th overtime game in program history, in-cluding the FCS era. UMass is now 5-6 all-time in overtime games and 2-3 when playing multiple overtime periods.

ISABELLA GOES RIGHT TO... LUDICROUS SPEED!Over his last 22 games played, Andy Isabella has 1,642 of his 1,644 career receiving yards and 113 of his 115 career receptions playing mainly as a starter at wide receiver. The 5-foot-10, 195-pound Isabella posted 75 or more receiving yards in 11 of those 22 games, with 100 or more in six contests. He leads the team lead with 15 touchdown receptions in that span.

STEADY AS IZZY GOESWide receiver Andy Isabella is one of only six receivers in the nation with two or more receptions in each of the last 22 games. In that span, Isabella has a total of 113 receptions for 1,642 yards and 15 touchdowns. He has five or more receptions in 14 of those games, including six such outings in 2017, and was limited to two receptions in only one of those contests (Georgia Southern, two catches, 81 yards, one touchdown).

RECORD-SETTING HOMECOMING WINMassachusetts football put up the most offensive yards in a single game in team history with 670 yards, split between 350 through the air and 320 on the ground. It bested the previous program mark by 32 yards (638, vs. Bowling Green, 9/27/14) and it was the first game with 300 or more rushing yards since Nov. 14, 2015 (330, at Eastern Michigan).

The Minutemen also posted 33 first downs during the victory (15 passing ,13 rushing, 5 penalty), the second consecutive game with 30 or more first downs. The last game with more than 33 first downs was against Eastern Michigan (34, Dec. 18, 2014).

BILLY TOUCHDOWNSSophomore running back Bilal Ally made his first collegiate start memorable with career highs of 16 carries, 116 rushing yards and three touchdowns. The game also included a career-long run of 57 yards (fourth quarter touchdown) and was the first for a UMass running back with three or more touchdowns since Marquis Young had as many at Buffalo on Nov. 27, 2015. It accounted for the first three touchdowns of Ally’s collegiate career.

YOU GET A TOUCHDOWN!!! AND YOU GET A TOUCHDOWN!!! EVERYBODY GETS TOUCHDOWNS!!!UMass scored an FBS-best 55 points in the win over Georgia Southern via eight touchdowns: three by Bilal Ally (RB) and one each by Adam Breneman (TE), Jessie Britt (WR), Brennon Dingle (WR), Andy Isabella (WR) and Marquis Young (WR). The previous most for points in game during the FBS era was 50 against Ohio on Sept. 30, 2017 - the prior game for the Minutemen.

CURRENT LOCATION: AN ENDZONE NEAR YOUThree Minutemen recently entered or currently approach the career top 10 at UMass in rushing or receiving touchdowns, including Adam Breneman (TE), Andy Isabella (WR) and Marquis Young (RB).

Isabella enters the game at BYU with 15 career touchdown receptions, tied for seventh all-time at UMass, while Breneman sits at 11 - one shy of tying Kerry Taylor in 10th. Young enters the weekend with 19 career rushing scores, one away from evening with Frank Alessio (1993-96), Jerome Bledsoe (1988-91) and Paul Metallo (1971-72) in 10th place.

MR. MOVE THE CHAINSOf his 124 career receptions as a Minuteman, Adam Breneman earned UMass football a new set of downs on 73 of those catches. He opened 2017 with seven first down receptions among nine total grabs covering a career-best 179 receiving yards. He added six first down grabs in nine total receptions during his 126-yard outing at Coastal Carolina and had five over a career-best 12 catches against Ohio.

In total, Breneman has eight career games with six or more first down receptions.

WELCOME TO THE TOUCHDOWN CREW, OREKOYASophomore running back Nick Orekoya recorded the first points of the eventual 30-27 double-overtime victory over Appalachian State with a one-yard touchdown plunge. It marked his first collegiate rushing touchdown and second-ever score (receiving TD at Temple). He is also the fourth Minuteman with a rushing touchdown in the last five games (Bilal Ally, 3; Marquis Young, 3; Ross Comis, 1; Orekoya 1).

RECEIVERS KEEP IT 100Three UMass football receivers have games with 100 or more receiving yards in 2017, including tight end Adam Breneman and wide receivers Andy Isabella and Sadiq Palmer. Isabella eclipsed 100 yards at Coastal Carolina (101), against Old Dominion (105), at No. 21 Mississippi State (158) and vs. Maine (152). Breneman has three games each with 100 or more yards, against Hawai’i (179), at Coastal Carolina (126) and versus Ohio (131). Palmer did so at Temple (117).

OUTRUNNING THE EAGLESFive UMass ball carries combined and amassed 320 rushing yards over 44 carries (7.3 ypc) during the rout of Georgia Southern, led by 100-yard games from Bilal Ally (16-116-7.2) and Marquis Young (13-101-7.8). In addition to the 100-yard rushers, Nick Orekoya posted 49 yards on nine carries (5.4) while Ross Comis added 46 over five attempts (9.2) and Andy Isabella had eight on one attempt.

BOMBS AWAY VS. THE BOBCATSMassachusetts put up rare passing numbers against the Ohio Bobcats, completing the game with 403 yards through the air (33-of-58 passing). It is the first instance of 400 passing yards in one game for the Minutemen since the team put up 486 at Bowling Green on Oct. 10, 2015. Andrew Ford had 390 - a career high - of those 403 yards while Ross Comis had the remaining 13.

THE CEDAR CLIFF CONNECTIONUMass quarterback Andrew Ford and tight end Adam Breneman played together previously asmembers of the Cedar Cliff High School football program in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania. Both emerged as offensive standouts for the Minutemen during the 2016 season.

Breneman is the all-time leading receiver in Cedar Cliff history and all-time leading tight end inPennsylvania high school history in all receiving categories.

Ford was the 2013 Gatorade Player of the Year, football’s Mr. Pennsylvania and an Elite 11 QB as asenior. He set Cedar Cliff records in passing yards, touchdowns thrown and completion percentage.

The Ford-to-Breneman duo is one of 11 in FBS featuring a quarterback and receiver who played together in high school.

SPEEDSTER DOWN THE SIDELINEAndy Isabella established himself as an explosive threat at wide receiver with 801 yards on 62 receptions, including seven for touchdowns, during his true-sophomore season in 2016. The breakout year came after Isabella totaled seven yards over two receptions as a freshman in 2015.

Isabella has improved upon his 2016 numbers in 2017, as he has 841 receiving yards on 51 catches (16.5 per reception) through 10 games, with eight touchdowns, including one each against the Hawai’i, Coastal Carolina, Old Dominion, Georgia Southern and No. 21 Mississippi State defenses and three against Maine at Fenway Park.

He used a 60-yard TD reception against Old Dominion to surpass 1,000 career receiving yards.

BIG PLAY ANDYJunior wide receiver Andy Isabella was a part of 11 of UMass football’s 31 plays from scrimmage of 30 or more yards over the opening 10 games. Among his biggest plays, Isabella caught 69-yard touchdown passes at No. 21 Mississippi State and versus Maine plus a 68-yard TD against Georgia Southern. He also hauled in a 60-yard score versus Old Dominion, returned a kick 44 yards against Hawai’i and rushed for a 42-yard gain at Tennessee.

Initially listed as a running back during his freshman season (2015), Isabella moved to wide receiver before the 2016 campaign. His 11 plays of 30 or more yards break down to eight receptions, two kick returns and one rush.

THE SECURITY BLANKETTight end Adam Breneman caught 12 passes for 131 receiving yards and two touchdowns against the Ohio defense - his most receptions, tied for his most touchdowns and the third-greatest yardage total on his college career.

His 12 receptions rank as the most by a Minuteman tight end in the history of the program and tied for the ninth-most by one player in a game in the UMass record book.

Breneman ranks second in the nation among tight end in terms of receiving yards per game and receptions per game on the season, supported by three 100+ yard outings and three games with nine or more receptions.

SADIQ IN THE SPOTLIGHTWide receiver Sadiq Palmer posted his first collegiate 100-yard outing with seven receptions for 117 yards at Temple. The sophomore from New Jersey became the third Minuteman receiving target with a 100-yard game on the season, joining Andy Isabella (4) and Adam Breneman (3).

The seven receptions and 117 receiving yards represent single-game career bests for Palmer and nearly matched his season totals entering the Temple game (10 receptions, 122 yards).

AIR ATTACK ON DISPLAY AGAINST OHIOQuarterback Andrew Ford etched his name into the UMass record book for single game touch-downs, completions and attempts against Ohio with his 32-of-54 and five TD performance.

Ford tied the program record with five touchdowns, an accomplishment previously achieved eight times, including last by Blake Frohnapfel at Toledo on Sat., Oct. 25, 2014. His 32 completions were tied for the fifth-most all-time while his 54 attempts are the eighth-most in the record book.

BRENEMAN LEAVING LASTING MARK AT TIGHT ENDThree-quarters of the way through his second season in Western Massachusetts, tight end Adam Breneman ranks as one of the all-time most productive members of his position group across team history. In only 21 games with the program, Breneman has 124 receptions, 1,493 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns.

Thanks to his 2016 efforts, Breneman is first all-time among UMass tight ends for touchdown receptions in a single-season (8). Breneman’s 2016 numbers also rank second for receptions and receiving yards behind only Kerry Taylor’s 74 grabs and 854 yards in 1998.

QB’S BEST FRIEND AT TIGHT ENDIn 2016, Adam Breneman broke out against the Boston College defense with 69 receiving yards and a touchdown on three catches in only his second game as a Minuteman. He produced a 58-yard catch-and-run TD reception in the first quarter - the longest by a tight end since Jean Sifrin rumbled for a 76-yard score against Toledo on Oct. 25, 2014.

Since then, Breneman emerged as one of the top tight ends playing collegiate football as he owns 1,493 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns over 124 receptions as a Minuteman. Despite playing less than two full seasons for the Minutemen, Breneman ranks eighth all-time in receptions and is nearing the top 10 in touchdown receptions (10th, Kerry Taylor, 1995-98) and receiving yards (1,571, Bob Simeone, 1981-84).

He entered his first season with the Minutemen with 186 career receiving yards on 15 receptions (three touchdowns) as a member of the Penn State football program from 2013-15. Including his nine appearances in 2017, Breneman owns 1,684 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns for his collegiate career.

THE FASTEST TO FOUR DIGITSMarquis Young reached 1,000 career rushing yards in only 13 games played, which ranks Youngamong the quickest Minutemen to 1,000 yards in recent team history. The last to reach the plateaufaster was Steve Baylark, who did it in 11 games as a freshman in 2003. RJ Cobbs (2001-05)also accomplished it in 11 games, as did Rene Ingoglia (1992-95).

Ten games into his junior season, Young now has 2,662 career rushing yards over 495 carries, including 19 for touchdowns. He surpassed 2,000 career rushing yards during the game against Old Dominion. He jumped into the seventh-place spot on the UMass career rushing yards list dur-ing the game against Georgia Southern, surpassing Jerome Bledsoe (2,216; 1988-91) and Kevin Smellie (2,228; 1985-88).

ON THE GROUND OR IN THE AIR, ISABELLA DON’T CAREJunior wide receiver Andy Isabella opened 2017 with a pair of touchdowns against Hawai’i, one on a six-yard end-around run and another via a two-yard reception with two seconds left in the first half. It marked Isabella’s first collegiate rushing touchdown and his eighth receiving score. He has since added seven more receiving touchdowns to give him 15 on his career, tied for the sixth-most in the history of UMass football.

Entering the 11th game of 2017, the dynamic playmaker owns 2,325 all-purpose yards in his career (1,679 receiving, 422 kick return, 239 rushing and 15 punt return).

FORD FROM THE STARTBelow are Andrew Ford’s numbers as a starter. In 2016, he also appeared but did not attempt a pass at No. 25 Florida (Sept. 3) and went 11-of-21 for 189 yards with one touchdown and two picks in relief of an injured Ross Comis at Old Dominion (Oct. 7). In 2017, he did not start against Georgia Southern due to an injury sustained during game week practice but saw time as a reserve and was 9-of-12 for 157 yards and a touchdown.

TIPPING THE SCALESThe starting offensive line of Ray Thomas-Ishman, Sr., (LT), Jake Largay (LG), Derek Dumais (C), Lukas Kolter (RG) and Jack Driscoll (RT) average 324.0 pounds (1,620 pounds total). All five stand at least 6-foot-4 and weigh at least 315 pounds. None are entering their final year of eligibility.

YOUNG GETS PURPOSEFULRunning back Marquis Young eclipsed 1,000 all-purpose yards for the second consecutive season in 2016 with a team-leading 1,045 on the season via 898 rushing yards and 147 receiving yards. He owns 3,332 all-purpose yards for his career as he posted 1,031 as a freshman in 2015 and began 2017 with 1,256 over the opening 10 games of the year (125.6 per game).

GIGANTICALLY SLIM AND TRIMRay Thomas-Ishman, Sr., stands 6-foot-5, 350 pounds entering his sophomore season. One year ago, as a true-freshman starter, Thomas weighed in at 392 pounds while holding down the left guard spot for 11 of his 12 appearances. Thomas started at left tackle in one appearance dur-ing 2016, at Old Dominion, his slated full-time placement on the line in 2017. Despite losing 42 pounds, Thomas is still the largest offensive lineman on the team by 20 pounds (Derek Dumais).

YOUNG BREAKS OFF BIG RUNSMarquis Young tallied three of the team’s longest runs from scrimmage during his opening three years competing at UMass, including a scamper of 95 yards and a pair of 83-yard rushing plays. His 95-yard touchdown against Appalachian State (10/28/17) ranks tied for second on the all-time list with Fred Ellert (95 vs. Tufts; Nov. 27, 1928). Young also had a pair of 83-yard bursts, one each at Notre Dame (Sept. 26, 2015) and against Mississippi State (Sept. 24, 2016). The only run longer than Young and Ellert’s 95-yarders was Jim Pizano’s 96 yard run against Rhode Island on Oct. 5, 1996.

BRENEMAN, THE ALL-AMERICANAdam Breneman appeared on three national preseason all-America listings. He earned USA Today Preseason All-America Second Team, Athlon Sports Preseason All-America Third Team and Bleacher Report Preseason All-America. Since the beginning of the year, Breneman added midseason all-America from CBS Sports, Pro Football Focus and Athlon Sports.

Breneman currently ranks tied for 26th overall across FBS and second among tight ends in receptions per game (6.0) and 46th overall and second among tight ends for receiving yards per game (76.1).

MOONLIGHTING AT HIS ORIGINAL POSITIONAfter being listed as a running back during his true-freshman season in 2015, during which he did not carry the ball, Andy Isabella converted to wide receiver for the 2016 season. Isabella has since carried the ball 27 times for 239 yards, an average of 8.9 yards per carry.

Three of his career carries went for 20 or more yards, including a 42-yarder at Tennessee.

Known for his speed, while in high school Isabella posted the top 60-yard dash time in the nation according to MileSplit.com, finishing in 6.72 seconds at a Northeast Ohio Indoor Track Conference event at Spire Institute on Jan. 28, 2015.

FORD’S FIRST-YEAR SUCCESSIn his first season as a Minuteman, Andrew Ford stepped into the starting quarterback role and wrote his name into the team’s record book in 11 single-season categories, including pass comple-tions, passing yards, passing touchdowns and completion percentage.

BRENEMAN’S 2016 BY-THE-NUMBERSAdam Breneman emerged as one of the top tight ends in FBS during 2016 to the tune of team-leading spots for receptions (70), receiving yards (808) and touchdown catches (8).

In the final six weeks of the year, Breneman pulled in 42 receptions (7.0 per game) for 512 yards (85.3) and six touchdowns during play vs. Louisiana Tech (7-94-0), South Carolina (9-94-2), Wagner (8-138-2), Troy (6-77-1), BYU (8-79-0) and Hawai’i (4-30-1).

He finished the year ranking among the top two tight ends in the nations in a multitude of cat-egories, including receptions (1st; 70), receptions per game (2nd; 5.8), receiving yards (2nd; 808), receiving yards per game (2nd; 67.3), touchdown receptions (2nd; 8).

TAKE IT TO THE HOUSELee Moses became the second Minuteman in as many games with an interception returned for a touchdown, when Moses took a pick 70 yards for the score at the Fenway Gridiron Series meeting with Maine on Nov. 11. It followed Isaiah Rodgers’ 29-yard pick-six at No. 21 Mississippi State one week prior.

BALL HAWKIsaiah Rodgers recorded a pair of interceptions against Mississippi State quarterback Nick Fitzger-ald, including one returned for a touchdown. He was the first Minuteman with multiple interceptions in the same game since Khary Bailey-Smith had two against Miami (Ohio) on Oct. 12, 2013. His pick-six was the first since Jackson Porter accomplished the feat at Kent State on Oct. 11, 2014.

Against Mississippi State, Rodgers returned his first pick for six points on the first play of the Bulldogs’ opening drive of the second quarter drive. Including the extra point, it put UMass in front, 13-10. He added a second interception during the third quarter, which he returned 30 yards to the Massachusetts 45 yard line.

FINDING GAPSThe Massachusetts defense has 56.0 TFLs over the last seven games, including double-digit out-ings at Temple (11.0) and at Tennessee (12.0). Prior to the seven most recent contests, the UMass defense averaged 3.7 TFLs total over the opening three games (11.0 total, 5.0 vs. Hawai’i, 2.0 at Coastal Carolina, 3.0 vs. Old Dominion).

During the last seven games, 17 different Minutemen recorded at least an assisted-TFL, including Da’Sean Downey’s team-leading 11.5 (52 yards lost) - the only Minuteman with at least 0.5 TFLs in each outing. Downey’s 15.5 TFLs in that span leads the team, followed by Sha-Ki Holines’ 6.0 TFLs.

DOWNEY: THE QUICKER TFL PICKER-UPPERSenior defensive end Da’Sean Downey has 18.0 TFLs over his nine appearances, which ranks among the most in one season in team history. Downey is currently tied for second among Minute-men all-time for TFLs in a season, even with Jeremy Cain (2002), Chris Price (1999) and Khari Samuel (1998). The only Minuteman with more than 18.0 in a season with Valdamar Brower (24.0, 2001). His 32.0 career TFLs ranks Downey just outside the top 10 in program history in the category (10th, 33.5, Michael Hanson, 2005-09).

TAKING THE LONG ROUTEEdge-rusher Da’Sean Downey ranks among the nation’s leaders in tackles for loss, standing tied for fourth in TFLs per game (2.0) and total TFLs (18.0).

Downey posted a career-high 4.0 TFLs and tied his personal best with 2.0 sacks in the 55-20 win over Georgia Southern (10/21). The 4.0 TFLs against the Eagles’ offensive line marked the 17th-most in a single game across FBS this season and it is one of only 34 individual performances all season with 4.0 TFLs or more.

He immediately followed with another 4.0 TFL game against Appalachian State, which made him one of only two players in the nation with multiple games of 4.0 TFLs or more (Brian Womac, Rice).

Downey has at least assisted on a TFL in each of his nine appearances this season.

ADDO-ING UP SOME BIG TACKLE NUMBERSFirst-year linebacker Jarell Addo has 5.5 TFLs among 56 total tackles over his first 10 games started at outside linebacker.

All 5.5 of his TFLs came during the previous eight games. In that same span, Addo had 53 of his 56 tackles, including a personal-best 13 at No. 21 Mississippi State.

Addo, a redshirt-sophomore, moved to linebacker and redshirted in 2016 after he played 2015 as a defensive back.

BARR WINS GOLD HELMET AWARDMiddle linebacker Bryton Barr collected a New England Football Writers Association (NEFWA) Gold Helmet award on Wed., Sept. 27 following his 12-tackle effort in the near-upset at Tennessee. Among his 12 tackles, Barr accrued 1.5 TFLs for five yards lost. He had at least two tackles in each quarter and split his dozen evenly between the first and second halves. It is Barr’s first honor from the NEWFA. He currently leads the team with 88 tackles in the opening 10 games while his 8.8 tackles per game average ranks Barr tied for 36th in the nation.

SAFETY PLAY AT THE LINEStarting safety Jesse Monteiro had 5.0 TFLs over the last six games. They represent 5.0 of his 5.5 TFLs on the season, with the remaining assisted stop coming on a sack against Hawai’i during the season-opener. His 5.0 TFLs are nearly half of the TFL total of the entire secondary combined (11.5; 5.5, Jesse Monteiro; 3.0, Tyler Hayes; 2.0 Isaiah Rodgers; 1.0 Lee Moses).

[INSERT PRAYER HANDS/SAFETY EMOJI HERE]UMass football recorded its first safety as an FBS program against Ohio on Sept. 30. In the third quarter, a bad snap by the Bobcats landed in the endzone, which Ohio recovered for the safety. The last time UMass had a safety was against Central Connecticut on Oct. 8, 2011.

CLOGGING UP THE MIDDLENose tackle Ali Ali-Musa totaled 15 tackles against Old Dominion, a career high and the most since Steve Casali had 15 against Tulane on Oct. 1, 2016. Ali-Musa’s day began with a combined sack of quarterback Blake LaRussa with Da’Sean Downey on the first play from scrimmage of the game. It also included a fourth-and-goal stuff of running back Jeremy Cox from the UMass one yard line during the fourth quarter.

Ali-Musa is first among defensive linemen in tackles with 58, including 6.0 TFLs. He averages 5.8 tackles per game and already surpassed his total from 12 games played as a junior one year ago (37).

GIVING THEM THE BYCZ-NESSFreshman Jake Byczko posted a career-high 10 tackles during extended time on the defensive line against Old Dominion. He was active throughout the game, with two tackles each in the first, second and third quarters before he had four in the fourth. The Massachusetts native entered the game with two total tackles in his prior two appearances.

GET IT BACK FOR THE OAfter only forcing one turnover in the opening four games (Isaiah Rodgers, first quarter inter-ception, vs. Hawai’i) and going 15 full quarters without one, Massachusetts has 13 in the last five games (six fumble recoveries, seven interceptions).

Tennessee: 1 (FR)Georgia Southern: 4 (3 FR, 1 INT)Appalachian State: 3 (2 FR, 1 INT)No. 21 Mississippi State: 3 (INT)Maine: 2 (INT)

In that span, Lee Moses has three picks, Isaiah Rodgers adds two and Tyler Hayes and Jesse Monteiro have one apiece. Six different Minutemen have one fumble recovery apiece, including Jarell Addo, Bryton Barr, Steve Casali, Jake Froehlich, Tyler Hayes and Rodgers.

ACTIVE HANDSThe defensive line and linebackers posted 18 of the team’s 47 pass breakups through the opening 10 games, with Jarell Addo’s six leading the way. It includes eight different Minutemen. Cornerback Isaiah Rodgers leads the team with 11, including a career-high three versus Maine.

SETTING THE BARR HIGHIn his first 10 games as a Minuteman, starting middle linebacker Bryton Barr led the team with 88 total tackles, including 6.0 TFLs and 2.0 sacks. It is 23 more than the next Minuteman (Steve Casali, 65). He had 13 tackles against Hawai’i - tied for the game-high - and added double-digit outing at Coastal Carolina (11), at Tennessee (12) and against Appalachian State (15).

Currently, Barr’s 88 total tackles and 8.8 tackles per game rank among the nation’s leaders. He is tied for 33rd in total tackles and tied for 36th in FBS for tackles per game

Prior to his arrival at UMass, Barr was a five-year member of the Towson football program, where he totaled 142 tackles, including 13.0 TFLs from 2012-16.

STOPS IN THE MIDDLEThen-redshirt junior inside linebacker Steve Casali led the Minutemen with 105 tackles during the 2016 season, split between 47 solo and 58 assisted tackles. His breakout 2016 season came after Casali totaled 40 tackles over the 2013-15 seasons. He posted 32 tackles more than the next Minuteman (Jesse Monteiro; 73).

Casali, who also had eight pass breakups, 6.0 TFLs, three fumble recoveries and one forced fumble, earned recognition of his 2016 season with a spot on the 2017 Bronko Nagurski Trophy Watch List.

He is the leading active tackler on the team with 210, including 14.0 TFLs and 4.5 sacks, and has four career fumble recoveries along with a pair of forced fumbles.

TOPPING 10 TACKLES A GAMEFive Minutemen have at least one game with 10 or more tackles during 2017, led by four such outing by middle linebacker Bryton Barr. Below is a list of each Minuteman, the opponent he had 10 or more tackles against and the total recorded in each game

Addo: at #21 Mississippi State (13)Ali-Musa: Old Dominion (15), Appalachian State (10)Barr: Hawai’i (13), at Coastal Carolina (11), at Tennessee (12), Appalachian State (15)Byczko: Old Dominion (10)Monteiro: at #21 Mississippi State (12)

IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, SON AND HOLINESRedshirt senior defensive lineman Sha-Ki Holines second among active Minutemen in tackles for loss behind only defensive line mate Da’Sean Downey. Seven appearances into his 2017 season, Holines has 25.0 TFLs, including 7.0 sacks, over 41 games played.

Holines posted 3.0 as a freshman, 9.0 for 30 yards lost as a sophomore and 7.0 covering 31 yards as a junior. He missed the opening three games of 2017 due to injury, but followed with an average of 0.9 TFLs per game since his return. He is the only Minuteman with 3.0 or more TFLs in each of the last four seasons.

MR. RODGERS’ NEIGHBORHOODIsaiah Rodgers leads all Minutemen with three interceptions this season, with one against Hawai’i and two more at No. 21 Mississippi State. Rodgers returned his first pickoff against the Bulldogs for a touchdown and took his second one 30 yards back to the UMass 45 yard line during the third quarter.

Rodgers was the first Minuteman with an interception returned for a touchdown since Jackson Porter did so at Kent State on Oct. 11, 2014. He is also the first with two or more interceptions in a game since Khary Bailey-Smith had as many against Miami (Ohio) on Oct. 12, 2013. Rodgers is now one of 34 Minutemen all-time with an interception returned for a touchdown.

He leads the team in passes defended this season (14) and, despite only being a sophomore, has the most among active Minutemen with 23. His five career pick-offs also rank Rodgers as the active interception leader.

HUBER HAS TO HANG UP HIS CLEATSRedshirt senior linebacker Shane Huber was forced to medically retire from the game of football prior to the start of the 2017 season due to concerns over recurring knee injuries. Huber finishes his UMass playing career with 126 career tackles, 5.5 TFLs, two passes defended, a pair of forced fumbles and one interception over 24 appearances. He missed time in 2013 and 2016 and red-shirted all of 2014 due to injury. He will continue to serve as a team captain in 2017 while he fills a sideline role as a team assistant.

UMASS FOOTBALL GAMES NOTES • DEFENSE/SPECIAL TEAMSNCAA GRANTS BARR TWO ADDITIONAL YEARS OF ELIGIBILITYGraduate student linebacker Bryton Barr was granted two additional seasons of eligibility by the NCAA prior to his transfer to the University of Massachusetts. Barr previously played at Towson University from 2012-16, but missed the entirety of 2014 and 2015 while he only played in two games during 2013 due to injury.

Barr returned to the field full-time in 2016 and tallied 58 tackles (6.5 TFLs/3.0 sacks), one forced fumble and one pass breakup. He also ranked second on the team in tackles as a true freshman in 2012 with 74 (5.0 TFLs/2.0 sacks), two pass breakups, two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble.

Barr lines up as an inside linebacker during 2017 and opened the year with a team-high 13 tackles, including 1.5 TFLs for nine yards lost against Hawai’i. He leads the team with 88 total tackles through 10 games.

LAURENT WINS GOLD HELMET AWARDPunter and kicker Logan Laurent collected the team’s second New England Football Writers As-sociation (NEWFA) Gold Helmet Award following his game-winning heroics against Appalachian State in the team’s 30-27 double-overtime victory on Sat., Oct. 28.

Laurent booted the game-tying field goal from 45 yards away with five seconds to play and sealed with win with a 36-yarder during the second overtime period. He also hit a 47-yard try during the first quarter. Laurent also averaged 44.6 yards per punt, with two downed inside the 20 yard line and bombed two more than 50 yards.

He also handled kickoff duties and sent three of his five attempts for touchbacks in the win.

LAURENT KICKS, BACKFLIPS INTO RECORD BOOKSLogan Laurent gave the Minutemen their first FBS overtime victory with a pair of clutch field goal conversions. Laurent hit from 45 yards away with only five seconds left in the fourth quarter to tie the game at 20-20 and force overtime. He ended it, and celebrated with a perfectly executed backflip, with a 36-yard conversion from the right hash mark in double overtime.

LAURENT PUTS UP THE POINTSIn his first complete game back in his role as the field goal and extra point kicker, Logan Laurent totaled a then-personal-best 11 points against Ohio via a pair of made field goals and five extra points. Laurent opened scoring in the first and second quarters with field goals of 24 and 35 yards, respectively. He hit all five of his extra points, one in the first quarter, two in the second and three in the fourth.

Laurent bested his 11-point outing against Ohio with an even dozen scored in the double-overtime win against Appalachian State, during which he hit all three field goal attempts and pushed through each of his three extra point tries. He added a third straight game with 10 or more points at No. 21 Mississippi State on Nov. 4 (3-3 FG, 2-2 XP).

LAURENT SURPASSED TRIPLE DIGITS IN POINTSDuring his 11-point outing against Ohio, Logan Laurent surpassed 100 career points. Entering the game with 95 as a Minuteman, Laurent went over 100 with his second field goal of the game and ended the day with 106 via 21 made field goals and 43 extra point conversions. He now owns 144 following the win over Maine (28 FGs, 60 XPs).

STARTING IN THE ENDZONERunning back Marquis Young added kick return duties to his list of responsibilities during the game against Ohio and broke off four returns for 129 yards, including an 81-yard burner down the UMass sideline that set up Adam Breneman’s second quarter touchdown reception. It was his first game with a kickoff return at the collegiate level. He owns 227 kick return yards on nine attempts this season (25.2 per return).

HEIGHT ADVANTAGELogan Laurent, a Ray Guy Award Watch List candidate for the second consecutive season, ranks among the tallest kickers and punters in NCAA Division I during 2017. At 6-foot-4, Laurent is tied for the third-tallest kicker and tied for the 12th-tallest punter. He is one of only three student-athletes listed at punter and kicker to stand 6-foot-4 or taller, joined by Brad Davis (Old Dominion; 6-foot-7) and Rhett Almond (BYU; 6-foot-4).

DEPLOYING THE FOURTH DOWN FOOTBALL MORTARThrough 34 games as the primary punter, Logan Laurent ranks among the best performing spe-cialists in UMass football history with the career punt average and single-game punt yard records.

Over 181 career punts, Laurent averages 42.04 yards per attempt (7,609 total yards). Brett Arnold ranks second at 41.35 yards per attempt (97-4270; 2007-08).

Laurent’s most active day came in the 2016 #BattleoftheBayState against Boston College with 12 punts covering a program-record 547 yards (45.6 per attempt). Laurent dropped four of his punts inside the Eagles’ 20-yard line while four traveled at least 50 yards.

Laurent has 37 career punts of 50 or more yards and dropped 49 inside the 20-yard line.

LAURENT PULLS DOUBLE-DUTYLogan Laurent served as the sole punter for the team over the last two seasons while simultane-ously seeing extended time as the team’s field goal kicker. His efforts rank Laurent among the top kickers and punters in UMass history.

As a kicker, Laurent stands second in field goal percentage (.778), fourth in field goals made (28) and sixth in field goals attempted (36). As a punter, Laurent stands first all-time in yards per punt (42.04) and fifth in punt yards (7,609) and total punt attempts (181).

Laurent is the only player in the history of the program to rank in the top 10 statistically as a punter and kicker. He is currently listed as splitting the No. 1 place kicker responsibilities on the depth chart alongside redshirt freshman Michael Schreiner.

RODGERS RUNS IT OUTIsaiah Rodgers finished his true freshman season in 2016 with the fifth-most kick return yards in one campaign in program history, with 733 over 31 returns (23.6). Rodgers set the team record for kick returns in one game with nine against Mississippi State on Sept. 24, 2016. He also etched his name in the record book for the fifth-most returns and ninth-highest yards per return average in a single-season in program history. Ten games into his sophomore season, Rodgers is already 11th on the all-time list for total kick return yards by a Minuteman.

LAURENT DIALS IN DOWN THE STRETCHLogan Laurent made his final six field goal attempts of the 2016 season after he started 1-for-3 in the category. Laurent converted two each against Hawai’i and Wagner while he had one each at Troy and at BYU. Four of those six conversions were from distances of 30 or more yards, including a 44-yard field goal at BYU.

Laurent picked up in 2017 where he left off in 2016 as he made each of his first nine attempts of the year against Ohio (2), Appalachian State (3), No. 21 Mississippi State (3) and Maine (1). He currently has 28 made field goals in 36 attempts (.778) - the second-best field goal percentage in team history.

WEARING MULTIPLE COACHING HATSMark Whipple is one of only seven head coaches in the nation who doubles as an offensive or defensive coordinator. He is joined by Doug Beaty (Kansas; defensive), Paul Johnson (Georgia Tech; offensive), Mike Leach (Washington State; offensive), Rocky Long (San Diego State; offensive), Doug Martin (New Mexico State; offensive) and Derek Mason (Vanderbilt; defensive).

UMASS FOOTBALL GAMES NOTES • SPECIAL TEAM/MISC.UMASS ATHLETICS MOURNS LOSS OF DICK MACPHERSONUMass football mourns the loss of former head coach Dick MacPherson, who passed away at the age of 86 on Tues., Aug. 8. MacPherson, a 2009 College Football Hall of Fame inductee, spent seven seasons on the sidelines at UMass and led the program to four Yankee Conference Championships.

MacPherson guided UMass from 1971-77 and won Yankee Conference Championships in 1971, ‘72, ‘74 and ‘77. Among his multitude of career highlights, MacPherson coached Massachusetts to a 35-14 victory over California-Davis in the 1972 Boardwalk Bowl. His UMass squads dominated the Yankee Conference and posted a 28-8-1 mark in league action, while he finished his time in Amherst with a 45-27-1 overall ledger (.623). He was inducted in the UMass Hall of Fame in 2004.

After leaving UMass, MacPherson went on to a successful tour as the head coach of Syracuse football (1981-90), during which he guided the Orange to five postseason bowls, including his undefeated 1987 squad’s Sugar Bowl appearance. He also had a two-year stint as head coach of the New England Patriots (1991-1992). Following the completion of his coaching career, MacPherson served as a color commentator on television and radio broadcasts for Syracuse football.

COACHING AT THE ALMA MATERUMass employs three alumni in full-time coach roles in 2017, including Steve Costello (corner-backs), Charles Walker (recruiting coordinator/linebackers) and Dave Wissman (defensive line). Costello and Walker were letterman for the Minutemen. Wissman played at New Hampshire before he finished his degree at UMass. Alumnus Scott Woodward also serves as an offensive analyst.

DEGREES IN-HANDSeven Minutemen enter the 2017 season with their undergraduate degree requirements completed, including Bryton Barr, Nick Berus, Adam Breneman, Steve Casali, Connor Lemieux, Jesse Monteiro and Matt Tuleja. It puts the Minutemen among the schools with the most undergradu-ate degrees earned entering the 2017 season. Barr (Towson) and Breneman (Penn State) earned their degrees prior to transferring to Massachusetts as graduate students.

UMASS ONE OF FEW TEAMS WITH FEMALE ATHLETIC TRAINERUMass football is one of nine programs across FBS with a female primary athletic trainer. Associate athletic trainer Jennifer Brodeur is in her 12th year with the department and 10th working with the football program. In recognition of her success, Brodeur was named the Assistant Athletic Trainer of the Year by the National Athletic Trainers Association in June, 2013. The award is only given to one individual per year and is voted on by the College/University Athletic Trainers Committee. She was promoted to Head Athletic Trainer in August, 2017, which made Brodeur only the sixth female in her position as the leader of the sports medicine office and the football team’s primary athletic trainer.

THE QUARTERBACK GURUTwo of the most successful quarterbacks in program history played for Mark Whipple during his first tenure at UMass (Todd Bankhead & Jeff Krohn) while two highly successful NFL QBs received guidance from him during his time with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles as Whipple worked with Ben Roethlisberger and Donovan McNabb.

Bankhead took snaps for the Minutemen from 1998-99 and finished his career with 7,018 passing yards, the second-most for a career in program history. Jeff Krohn suited up for Whipple from 2002-03 when he threw for 4,993 yards. Bankhead had 51 career touchdowns, while Krohn pro-duced 44, which rank second and third on the program’s all-time top 10 list, respectively. Blake Frohnapfel added his name to the list of successful QBs coached by Whipple as he notched 6,264 passing yards and 39 touchdowns in only 22 appearances with the Minutemen.

WHIPPLE BECOMES PROGRAM’S ALL-TIME WINS LEADERWith the 44-31 victory over Maine in the 2017 Fenway Gridiron Series, Mark Whipple became the University of Massachusetts’ all-time head coaching wins leader in team history with 60 career victories.

Whipple surpassed Vic Fusia (1961-70) for first in UMass football history. Whipple is one of five coaches in team history with at least five winning seasons. Fusia leads the way with eight while Don Brown (2004-08), Harold “Kid” Gore (1919-27), Mel Taube (1931-35) and Whipple each have five.

LET’S GET THE BAND BACK TOGETHER!Mark Whipple is flanked by former Minutemen on the sideline in 2017. Included on his staff are two recent program alumni in Steve Costello (tight ends) and Charles Walker (recruiting coordinator and outside linebackers). Whipple also employs former UMass quarterback Scott Woodward as an offensive analyst after he completed two years as a graduate assistant in 2015 and 2016.

In addition, Whipple’s son, Spencer Whipple, is now coaching the wide receivers alongside his duties as the passing game coordinator after he suited up for the Maroon and White in 2008 before transferring to play for his dad at Miami (Fla.). Additionally, special teams coordinator Mark Michaels coached alongside Whipple during Whipple’s first tenure as the UMass head coach.

MINUTEMAN HOMECOMINGSUniversity of Massachusetts football travels to six states for the six road games in 2017, including Florida, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Utah. Two of those road trips combine to bring 20 Minutemen to their home states: 12 from Florida and eight from Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania: Bryton Barr (Camp Hill, Pa.), Nick Berus (Bakerstown), Adam Breneman (Mechanicsburg), Andrew Ford (Camp Hill), Victor Santiago (Bethlehem), Charan Singh (Murrysville), Ray Thomas-Ishman, Sr. (Philadelphia) and Charly Timite (Philadelphia). Thomas-Ishman, Sr., and Timite played together and were in the same graduating class at Simon Gratz High School. Breneman and Ford plated together at Cedar Cliff.

Florida: Bilal Ally (Jacksonville), James Bowe, Jr. (Miami), Jessie Britt (Lake Alfred), Cycoby Burch (Orlando), Claudin Cherrelus (Naples), Zeke Edmonds (West Palm Beach), Bakhari Goodson (Orlando), Tyshaun Ingram (Orlando), Brian Roberts, Jr. (Jacksonville), Isaiah Rodgers (Tampa), Patrick Volcy (Naples) and Caeleb Washington (Melbourne). Cherrelus and Volcy played together and were in the same graduating class at Golden Gate High School.

RETURNING FOR ANOTHER ROUNDUMass ranks tied for the 10th-most returning starters in nation, with eight on the defensive side of the ball and seven on the offensive end.

On the offensive side of the ball, the UMass returning starters include Adam Breneman (TE), Jack Driscoll (RT), Andrew Ford (QB), Andy Isabella (WR), Travis Reynolds (TE), Ray Thomas-Ishman, Sr. (LG) and Marquis Young (RB).

UMASS FOOTBALL GAMES NOTES • MISCELLANEOUSWHAT’S IN THE WATER NEAR CAMP HILL, PENNSYLVANIA?Three UMass football Minutemen hail from Camp Hill, Pa., and Mechanicsburg, Pa., towns of ap-proximately 8,000-9,000 people, including Bryton Barr, Adam Breneman and Andrew Ford. All three are starters, Barr at middle linebacker, Breneman at tight end and Ford as the quarterback.

Barr had 13 tackles, 1.5 TFLs and 1.0 sacks in his UMass debut and owns a team-best four games with 10 or more stops this season. He also paces the team in unassisted (36), assisted (52) and total (88) tackles. He previously was a member of the Towson football team for five seasons and was granted eligibility for 2016 and 2017 from the NCAA due to medical hardship.

Breneman, whose name appears on the Biletnikoff Award Watch List and John Mackey Award Watch List, has 1,493 receiving yards and 11 touchdown receptions in only 21 career games with the Minutemen. He was a three-year member of the Penn State football team prior to his gradu-ation and transfer to UMass ahead of the 2016 season.

In 20 career games played, Ford has tossed 43 touchdowns and thrown for 5,010 career yards while completing 61.7 percent of his attempts (394-of-639). In his first year as a starter for the Minutemen in 2016, Ford placed his name among the top-10 in program history in 11 categories, including the second-best completion percentage in team history (60.8) and tied for the fourth-most passing touchdowns (26).

UMASS ANNOUNCES 2017, FUTURE SCHEDULE CHANGESUniversity of Massachusetts football agreed Thurs., Sept. 14, to accommodate a Hurricane Irma-related scheduling change request made by the American Athletic Conference (AAC) and the University of South Florida (USF) and postponed the teams’ planned meeting at USF in Tampa, Florida, on Sat., Oct. 14, 2017. Additionally, UMass and Florida International University (FIU) have agreed to play a game at FIU in Miami, Florida, on Sat., Dec. 2, 2017.

UMass and USF will complete the postponed contest at USF on a to-be-determined date during the 2022 or 2023 seasons. The UMass-USF game in Massachusetts slated for the 2018 season remains unaffected by these scheduling changes.

The UMass-FIU contest on Dec. 2, 2017 will be the 12th for both teams, as FIU previously cancelled its game against Indiana, originally slated for Sat., Sept. 16, 2017. FIU will return to UMass during the 2020 season on Oct. 24. Should FIU qualify for the C-USA Championship Game on Sat., Dec. 2, the 2017 UMass-FIU meeting will not be played. In this scenario, the 2020 UMass-FIU game is unaffected and UMass will travel to FIU during a future season following the 2020 meeting.

With these adjustments, the 2017 Massachusetts football schedule now features back-to-back bye weeks (Sat., Oct. 7 and Sat., Oct. 14). The updated slate gives the Minutemen three consecu-tive home games spanning the two-week break (Sat., Sept. 30 vs. Ohio; Sat., Oct. 21 vs. Georgia Southern and Sat., Oct. 28 vs. Appalachian State). The addition of the Sat., Dec. 2 game at FIU also creates a third bye week in the season as Massachusetts has a one-week break between the Sat., Nov. 18 game at BYU and traveling to FIU for Sat., Dec. 2.

LOS QUATRO CAPITANESUMass features three permanent captains and one individual-game captain in 2017. The three permanent team captains are Adam Breneman, Steve Casali and Shane Huber. Da’Sean Downey served as the rotating fourth team captain in all but two games, during which Jesse Monteiro (at Coastal Carolina) and Ray Thomas-Ishman, Sr. (at Temple) filled the role.

HEAD COACH MARK WHIPPLE10TH SEASON AT MASSACHUSETTS // 20TH AS COLLEGIATE HEAD COACH // BROWN, 1979

Mark Whipple, the architect of one of the University of Massachusetts football program’s most successful eras, was named the team’s head coach on Jan. 14, 2014. He was previously at the helm of the Minuteman program from 1998-2003 when he led the Minutemen to the NCAA I-AA National Championship in his first year while making two more postseason appearances in the following five years.

Whipple enters his 10th season at the helm of the program in 2017 and 20th year overall as a collegiate head coach. He begins the year three victories shy of becoming the all-time winningest head coach in UMass football history.

Whipple is the second head coach of the program during the Football Bowl Subdivision at UMass. He is the fourth of the Minutemen’s 29 all-time coaches to serve multiple tenures.

A 30-year coaching veteran of the collegiate and professional levels, Whipple is widely regarded for his prowess as an offensive coordinator and his ability to develop quarterbacks. He helped Ben Roethlisberger of the NFL’s Pittsburgh Steelers win a Super Bowl in his second year, built the University of Miami’s 2009 and 2010 offenses into two of its best all-time and his teams set 40 offensive records while at UMass.

“Sometimes, you need to go away to find out where your home is and I have found it,” said Whipple during his introductory press conference. “I can make a bigger impact than I have ever made in my life with people young, old and in between at the University of Mas-sachusetts and that’s what I am really excited about. I believe in this place and it hit me after the interview when I drove around campus and then got out and walked. This is a special place and I will represent this University better than I ever have. I am trying to do it better than anyone ever has. People ask me, `Why would you leave the NFL?’ They haven’t been to UMass. They haven’t been to the University of Massachusetts.”

Whipple wealth of experience as a head coach helped him to a 129-87 overall record, including a 57-54 mark at UMass. His coaching resume includes a National Coach of the Year award (1998), Division I-AA National Championship (1998), a Brown Athletic Hall of Fame induction (1996), an NFL Super Bowl Championship (2006) and a pair of collegiate bowl game appearances (2009, 2010).

“We are thrilled to welcome back one of the greatest coaches in the 135-year history of UMass football,” said UMass Amherst Chancellor Kumble R. Subbaswamy. “Coach Whipple is committed to fostering a positive environment in which our student-athletes will thrive both athletically and academically. His passion for the flagship campus and his drive for excellence have already earned the support of alumni, faculty, students and fans. I am confident that, under Coach Whipple’s leadership, Minuteman football will continue to improve and will excel at the FBS level.”

Whipple coached with the Cleveland Browns from 2011-12, where he served as the team’s quarterbacks coach. He worked with second-year quarterback Colt McCoy (2011) and rookie Brandon Weeden (2012) within the Browns’ West Coast offensive scheme.

His most recent collegiate stop was at the University of Miami as the assistant head coach, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach during the 2009 and 2010 seasons. During his time in Coral Gables, he guided the explosive Hurricane offense during two of the best statistical seasons in program history. Both years featured total yardage in excess of 5,000 yards with 2010’s total of 5,483 standing as the third-most in program history.

In 2009, Whipple led Miami to its best offensive season since the national-title contending 2002 team. The Hurricanes put up 5,199 yards of offense becoming just the eighth team in school history to eclipse the 5,000-yard mark in total yards gained. Under Whipple’s tutelage, quarterback Jacory Harris totaled the second-most pass completions (249), fourth-most pass-ing yards (3,352) and sixth-most touchdowns (24) in a single season at Miami.

The 2010 Miami squad posted the fourth-best total rushing yardage in program history with 2,372 on the ground. Damien Berry led a stable of tailbacks with 899 yards and five touchdowns. The group overall averaged 182.5 yards on the ground per game with an aver-age of 4.8 per carry.

Whipple spent the 2008 season as an offensive assistant coach with the Philadelphia Eagles, helping the team to an appearance in the NFC Championship game. Before joining the Eagles, he served as the quarterbacks coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers from 2004-06 where he was instrumental in the development of Roethlisberger, who became the youngest starting quarterback to win a Super Bowl as a rookie. In 2004, Roethlisberger became the first NFL quarterback to finish a season undefeated with a 13-0 record in games he started.

Prior to his move to the NFL, Whipple spent 16 years as a collegiate head coach. In addition to his time at UMass, Whipple also led the Brown and New Haven programs.

At every stop in his college coaching career, the trademark of a Whipple team was a high-powered offense. His UMass teams rewrote the program’s record book, setting more than 40 team records. In 1998, his national championship team posted school records in points scored (524), touchdowns (73), total yards (7,074), passing yards (4,050), completions (306) and first downs (354).

During his first tenure at UMass, Whipple posted a 49-26 (.653) record in six years (1998-2003), leading the Minutemen to a Division I-AA National Championship in his first season with the team in 1998. He also won three Atlantic 10 Conference Championships. He was named the American Football Coaches Association’s GTE Division I-AA National Coach of the Year, while also receiving National Coach of the Year honors from Don Hansen’s Football Gazette and finished runner-up for the Eddie Robinson Award, presented by The Sports Network.

In addition, Whipple was named the Scotty Whitelaw Division I-AA Coach of the Year by the New York Metropolitan Football Writers Association, and earned AFCA/GTE Region I Coach of the Year honors. In 2003, he earned Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year honors. He was selected as the New England Coach of the Year by the New England Football Writers and the Gridiron Club of Greater Boston in both 1998 and 2003. He posted five winning seasons in only six years as head coach with 17 different players earning all-America honors.

Whipple took over a program which finished 2-9 in 1997 and had won just 19 games in the previous four seasons combined before his arrival. He immediately brought unparal-leled success to the Minutemen under his leadership, with a national title, three conference championships, consecutive NCAA I-AA playoff appearances for the first time ever and three NCAA berths overall in his six seasons on the sideline.

Introduced as the 26th coach in UMass history by then-athletic director Bob Marcum on Dec. 16, 1997, Whipple-coached teams posted a .500-or-better record 14 times. No UMass football coach reached the 20-win plateau faster than Whipple, who also owns five of the school’s 11 all-time postseason victories.

In Whipple’s rookie season at UMass, the Minutemen won a then school-record 12 games (broken by the 2006 NCAA national runner-up team) en route to the 1998 NCAA Division I-AA championship. UMass posted a record six victories over ranked opponents in 1998, including a 55-43 triumph over top-ranked and previously unbeaten Georgia Southern in the 1998 NCAA Championship game.

The Minutemen followed up Whipple’s first campaign with another outstanding season in 1999. Armed with a lofty preseason ranking, UMass rebounded from a 1-3 start, posted a 9-4 record and advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA playoffs. Along the way, UMass tied the all-time school record for consecutive victories with eight, and also claimed a share of the 18th Atlantic 10 title in school history.

In 2000, UMass struggled with injuries to key players throughout the season, but was still able to post an overall record of 7-4, with three of the losses coming against teams which advanced to the Division I-AA playoffs. It marked the first time UMass strung together three-straight winning seasons since a five-year run from 1977-81. In addition, the Minutemen finished in third place in the Atlantic 10 with a 5-3 league mark, and handed Whipple his 100th career win with UMass’ 29-21 season-ending victory at Rhode Island.

A young and inexperienced team was hit hard by injuries in 2001, finishing 3-8, but Whipple’s 2002 Minutemen rebounded to post an overall record of 8-4. UMass tied for third place in the Atlantic 10 with a 6-3 mark in conference games, while downing two teams ranked in the top five in the nation (No. 2 Maine and No. 4 Villanova).

Whipple came to UMass following a four-year stint at his alma mater, Brown University. During his four years with the Bears (1994-97), Whipple compiled a 24-16 (.600) overall record without a losing season. His teams won more games in four years than the previous eight seasons at Brown combined.

Whipple led Brown to a 7-3 mark and a second-place finish in the Ivy League in his first season in 1994, posting the school’s best record and first winning season since 1987. His squad capped the year with four consecutive victories, marking the first time since 1980 that Brown had accomplished that feat.

In 1995, the Brown offense set several single season school records, including most points (282), total offense (4,165 yards), passing offense (2,502 yards) and first downs (227). His 1996 team came within a play of the Ivy League title. Battling Dartmouth to the final minute in the ninth week of the season, the Bears fell to the undefeated Big Green by three points. For the second straight year, Whipple’s passing offense set a new school mark with 2,628 yards.

In 1997, his squad set Ivy League and school records for total of-fense (474.3 yards per game) and Brown records for single season first downs (233), passing yards (317.9 yards per game) and single game total offense (629 yards vs. Yale).

Before his tenure at Brown, Whipple spent six years at the Uni-versity of New Haven (1988-93), where he posted an impressive 48-17 (.738) overall record as head coach and offensive coordinator, including two straight NCAA Division II playoff appearances in 1992 and 1993. The Chargers were ranked in the top 20 nationally in five of his six seasons at New Haven.

In 1992, he led the Chargers to a 12-1 mark, advancing to the NCAA semifinals and finishing with a No. 5 ranking nationally. The squad led all NCAA divisions in scoring offense (50.5 points per game) and total offense (587.7 yards per game).

Whipple guided the 1993 squad to a second-straight undefeated regular season (10-0) and a No. 2 national ranking, before falling in the NCAA quarterfinals. That team was named Sports Illustrated’s “Best Offense in College Football”, averaging 52.5 points and 557.6 yards of total offense per game.

Prior to his stint at New Haven, Whipple served as the offensive coordinator at the University of New Hampshire for two years. He was also a member of the coaching staff for the USFL’s Arizona Wranglers under George Allen, assisting with the quarterbacks. Whipple was an assistant coach at Brown for one season (1983), working with the wide receivers. He began his coaching career as an assistant coach at St. Lawrence University (1980), before serving as the offensive coordinator at Union College for two years (1981-82).

A 1979 graduate of Brown University with a bachelor’s degree in political science, Whipple was the starting quarterback for the Bears in 1977 and 1978 leading Brown to a 13-5 record and a pair of second-place Ivy League finishes. He was a member of the Bears’ 1976 Ivy League Championship team, the first Ivy title in school history. During his three-year varsity career, he completed 175 of 340 passes for 2,365 yards and 13 touchdowns, while running for 518 yards and 10 touchdowns. A two-time honorable mention All-Ivy pick in football, Whipple also earned four varsity letters on the baseball diamond as Brown’s starting shortstop. He was inducted into the Brown Athletic Hall of Fame in 1996.

Whipple was born in Tarrytown, N.Y., before moving to Phoenix, Ariz., at the age of nine. He is a graduate of Camelback High School, where Whipple was an all-state performer in football and baseball. Whipple was named the Arizona Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 1975.

He and his wife, Brenda, have two sons, Spencer and Austin. Spencer was a quarterback at UMass and the University of Miami where he graduated in 2012. He is currently UMass’ passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach. Austin began his college career as a quarterback on the Penn State football team before enrolling at UMass prior to the 2014 season.
