Two articles about Kellen Pagel being named starting QB for the Rhode Island game: Matty V. here and Jeff Thomas here.

The UMass Daily Collegian has an article on Pagel's promotion here.

Matty also reports that LB Stanley Andre is injured, but the rest of the Minutemen roster will be available for the Rams game.

Rhody has their game notes up for the UMass game: html here and .pdf here.

BTW, the Rams have a three game win streak against the Minutemen in Kingston. Rhode Island has not won in Amherst since 10/12/91 when they topped UMass 17-14.
