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.
UMass All-Access checks in with three blueshirt MVP's from Sunday's practice: linebacker Chad Hunte, defensive back Mike Lee and offensive lineman Stephane Milhim. Also head coach Kevin Morris talks about the offensive and defensive lines along with an update on Monday night's practice.

Chad Hunte was named the day's MVP by coach Kevin Morris.
The
Boston Herald has a feature piece on UMass football and its addition of three former Northeastern Huskies: John Griffin, Chad Hunte and Greg Niland. It has some good quotes from all three players.
"It's been a great experience," Hunte said. "It's a really close team, a really great tradition. I knew that coming in, so football-wise it's been great. I have a new family. I love being out here."
