Woah! Victor Cruz torched the Jets. NY Times says Victor shone. MassLive says Cruz lit up the night. Rotoworld says Victor was huge. SB nation says that was the most TD catches by a Giants receiver in preseason since 1998, which was a pretty good year for us, as you remember.

UMass beat writer Matty Vautour has a story that says Kyle Havens is the starting QB right now.

MassLive also reviews Jeromy Miles big hit on Tim Tibow.

Keepers College Football rankings (home page) have his first news of the season and guess who is #9 in his ratings for 2010? Keeper is the first pundit to give UMass some respect this year. He's probably reacting to the four potential new offensive starters the Minutemen acquired off season.

UNH probably has the most right to comment, but something tells me Delaware fans (as usual) will do most of the complaining.

More updates from UMass training camp with video interview Coach Morris here.

UMass has big increase in their radio coverage as they add WWZN to the 2010 network. This should be a big boost for the Minutemen in the Boston market. WWZN should bring UMass football, basketball and hockey to the biggest concentration of fans in the state. There are lots of Mass expatriates in southern Maine and New Hampshire and 50,000 watts should really help Minutemen fans in those states.

The first football show of the season will be at 7:00 pm on Sept 2nd.

Now if UMass could only add a station in the Berkshires (there are a lot of UMass fans out there), our coverage in state would be complete.
