Predicting every UMass game and how we think they will play out
Image courtesy of UMass Football The UMass Minutemen are returning to the MAC in 2025 under new head coach Joe Harasymiak. They’ve also brought in new offensive and defensive coordinators and made significant use of the transfer portal to bolster their roster.

Patriots Pulse Training Camp Review: Recapping Day 1
Day One of Patriots training camp is in the book. The team only practiced for about an hour and half. The focus was on individual drills and group period with three team periods mixed into the practice schedule. There was some good and some ehh. Here is what caught my attention. 1. Maye Day: I do not chart throws. I prefer to watching the quarterback and assess his performance from…
Bryant hopes to finally get back on track in 2025
To put it bluntly, 2024 was ugly for the Bryant Bulldogs. Looking at basically an entirely new roster and yet another conference change, it never felt like Chris Merrit’s team was able to fully settle in a year ago. Still, the Bulldogs easily could have had a few games go the other way during the 2-10 campaign, with four of the 10 losses coming by four, seven, seven and one…
Maine looking to take the next step in 2025
If 2024 was the next step in Maine’s comeback, then 2025 is setting up to be a giant leap. The Black Bears won five games last season, including upsets over Villanova and Delaware.

Head coach Jordan Stevens, linebacker Latrell Couchman and quarterback Carter Peevy represented the program on Monday during…
Defending CAA champ URI still hungry for more
Jim Fleming and his staff enjoyed every bit of the history-making CAA title a year ago. After all, it was the first time the program could celebrate a conference championship in 39 years. But, the final game of the season is what’s stuck with the staff, the players and the fan base the most. The playoff loss to Mercer is what’s fueled them in the offseason and now as training…
Younger roster won’t change high expectations for UNH
UNH head coach Rick Santos couldn’t have made it any clearer on Wednesday. The bar remains high in Durham. Santos, defensive end Zach Garron and tight end Colby Ramshaw represented the Wildcats during their portion of the CAA Virtual Media Day. Each program in the conference over the next two days got about 15 minutes to talk about the upcoming season and the expectations that await them. Santos talked about…
Diggs’ leadership ability on and off the field is already undeniable
FOXBOROUGH – Stefon Diggs got the second biggest roar from the full house behind Gillette Stadium on Wednesday. No. 8 waved his arms up and down to hype the crowd up as he sprinted and skipped onto the practice field for his first training camp with the Patriots, seemingly soaking it all in. Only Drake Maye got a bigger ovation and the buzz was back – at least for one…

No way around it: Patriots offense must be better in 2025
Maddie Meyer/Getty Images The Patriots have struggled offensively the past the past three seasons. Since 2022, the Patriots have averaged a combined 17.4 points per game under Matt Patricia, Bill O’Brien and Alex Van Pelt. That’s terrible. The Patriots were in the bottom five in scoring in the NFL each of those years. It is why the return of Josh McDaniels for a third tour of duty as offensive coordinator…
