While I was away, AGS released the first of their season polls. The important fact to remember about the AGS poll is that it is conducted by I-AA enthusiasts and tends to be considerably more accurate than the magazine polls.
The home article by Any Given Saturday is here. The UMass press release about the poll is here.
This article by the Bloomfield Journal (CT) gives UMass the lead focus and also mentions UMass players Darnel Delaire and Matt Lawrence.
IMHO, UMass is under rated. I'll blogging more on this later...
