Friday before JMU-- Oct 29th, 2010

JMU finally has its UMass game notes up.

College Football performance has added UMass senior Anthony Nelson to its FCS Wide Receiver of the Year list.

I can't get the NCAA stats to load this morning, but Anthony leads the CAA in catches-per-game with 47-610 6.71 AVE. He also leads the league with 87.1 yards/game. Projecting those totals out to the end of the season would rank him 9th in single season total receiving yards and tie him with Kerry Taylor at 4th with 74 single season receptions.
