2024 UMass Minutemen Football Preseason Preview: Defense
Throughout UMass’ FBS tenure, weak defenses have crippled the Minutemen. Since moving to the FBS, the Minutemen have yet to produce a defense that has allowed less than 30 points per game. Last season was no different. The Minutemen allowed a staggering 37 points per game. The run defense was the most glaring weakness, allowing over 221 yards per game. Lowlights for the run defense include two 300-yard games on the ground against Toledo and Liberty. Thankfully, help is on the way. Several transfers add to a defense with five returning starters to give Don Brown his best unit yet.

A New Work That’s Steeped in the Classic, but Still Individual
<First published online in the New York Times on July 17, 2012>. SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. — It’s startling how different New York City Ballet looks at the open-air Saratoga Performing Arts Center. The light has the effect of subtly changing faces, feet, musculature. Choreography, too.
