Daily Collegian: Minutemen adopt new 3-4 scheme

Steve Levine of the Daily Collegian looks at UMass' new 3-4 defensive scheme and how aggressive the defense can be due to increased chances for blitz packages.

The Massachusetts football team has answered many questions regarding the switch from the Colonial Athletic Association to the Mid-Atlantic Conference, and on a larger scale, from the Football Championship Subdivision to the Football Bowl Subdivision.   

Although the conference switch is probably the biggest change to the program in recent memory, there is another glaring change which might have been overlooked thus far - the new-look 3-4 defensive scheme.
