UMass-Colgate -- Tale of the tape

As I mentioned in yesterdays blog, the UMass game notes are here .

There is a comparison between the UMass-Colgate two deep. Does the chart reveal any insights?

Well the UMass starting OL of Matt Austin, Nick Dana, Alex Miller, David Thompson and Sean Calicco average 6-3 299 pds.

The Colgate OL of Steve Jonas, Zach Posey, Jake Sulovski, Rich Rosabella and Nick Hennessey averages 6-2 271 pds.

The UMass Defense line of Jason Hatchell, Brandon Collier, Jason Leonard and David burris averages 6-2 259.5.

The Colgate defensive line of Ryan Keller, Paul Mancuso, Nick Sabo and Pat Nolan averages 6-2 256.75 pds. Not much difference in DL.

On two-wideout sets, UMass should start Brandon London 6-4 210 and J.J. Moore 6-0 201. Colgate should counter with CB Cody Miller 5-9 186 and CB Chris Elpo 6-1 190

The third UMass Wideout is Rasheed Rancher 6-5 197. Colgate's FS is Andrew Moore 6-0 190.

No real difference in running backs, quarterbacks, linebackers or tight ends.

UMass OL averages about 25 pds more than Colgate's. Our Wide Receivers should have a significant advantage over Colgate's DBs. Other than that, Colgate is very close in physical size to the Minutemen.
