Monday before Stony Brook



I like this AP image from the link below. It's emblematic on how UMass' offense was a couple steps ahead of the Wolverines defense all day.

The UMass-Michigan game made the Wall Street Journal. The Journal says FCS teams aren't gaining ground on FBS, except for the CAA....

UMass beat writer Matty Vautour has three stars from the Michigan game.

He updates he weekly "Path to the Playoffs" column.

Ron Chimelis say UMass removed all doubt about its ability.

SI.com, in a story that barely mentions UMass, talks about how badly Michigan played. UMass may have had something to do with it.

MLive.com says Michigan has a long way to go.

The Maize & Brew Blog asks "Hung over or exposed".

The close win over FCS UMass cost Michigan one spot on the polls.

The Wolverine Blog does a classy post on UMass' loss of George Parks.

The UMass Daily Collegian has an article on Dr. Parks and some news about the band.

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

UMass stays at #3 in Keepers College Football ratings.

He has UMass by 30.13 over Stony Brook.

Another computer ratings site has UMass at #4, down one because of the loss to the Wolverines.

BTW, the Sea Wolves lost to Brown in double overtime.

Former UMass great Steve Baylark has been signed to the roster of the Sacramento Mountain Lions. Special thanks to a blog reader for alerting me about this.

The Manchester Leader covers New Hampshire's loss to URI, who had a twelve game losing streak going.

The CAA Blogger has updates on all Saturday's games.

One of the commenters mentioned the excellent coaching by UMass staff for the Michigan game.

The UMass Blog concurs. It looks to me as if Coach Morris, Coach Picucci, Coach Dudzinski and all the rest of the staff gamed just about every ounce of advantage out of what UMass had to offer. Take a bow coaches!

Note that the Michigan coach made a point of going to the UMass locker room and praising Coach Morris and the team.
