Monday of the 2009 Bye Week--09/28/09

UPDATE: Fr. LB Perry McIntyre is the CAA Rookie-of-the-week.

Matty Vautour has a short update here.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matty Vautour has three stars from the Stony Brook game and they are: Jonathan Hernandez, Jeromy Horne and Chris Zardas.

He also says how good the Minutemen are is yet to be determined.

The UMass Daily Collegian has a story featuring Hernandez' big day against Stony Brook.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From the UMass Athletic website:"

  • Saturday's game was the final for the scoreboard in the South end zone of McGuirk Stadium. It was installed in 1995. Pieces of the scoreboard will be auctioned on UMassAthletics.com in the coming weeks."

  • Hurrah!

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    CSN has all the FCS scores from Saturday's games here.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Josh Buchanan has Vladimir Ducasse as the #2 ranked "Small School" NFL prospect.

    He also has Jeromy Miles ranked #30 in the top 50. Josh evidently has not seen some tape of Miles' play this year.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The CAA stats inclusive of the Sept 26th games are up. UMass is #1 in pass offense, #1 in total offense, #1 in punting. The Minutemen are #2 in scoring offense and #2 in scoring defense.

    There is a big improvement in UMass penalties. the Minutemen are #6 in the league and one team ranked ahead of them has only played three games.
