Liam Coen won National FCS Offensive Player of the Week by the Sports Network.
He was also CAA Offensive Player-of-the-week .
As a bonus, Julian Talley was CAA Rookie-of-the-week for his four catches that gained 71 yards against Holy Cross.
The UMass Athletic Web site has an article about both of them here .
Coen appeared on the CAA teleconference and it's worth reading.
Coen also get a mention over on Josh Buchanan's "Small School Insider Report".
Matty Vautour has an article about Coen's awards and some CAA news here .

In a previous blog post I mentioned Armando Cuko's productivity as a field goal kicker. He has two game winning kicks in seven total field goals.
Several other UMass players also have high productivity ratios. Joe Stanford has three TDs in six total catches.
Ian Jorgensen has six career TD's out of 22 career catches. He's one for two so far this year.

Only one UMass-JMU article so far. It's here . Duke fans are saying on message boards that the game is sold out. If that's true, then there are two sellouts (Texas Tech and JMU) on the road. It's a testament to UMass' drawing power as a football opponent.

UPDATE: Whatever problems UMass may have are dwarfed by the problems of the Idaho Vandals. First they lost to Arizona 0-70, then everybody is making fun of their uniforms.
