Strangeness in the FCS polls this week. UMass is #22 in the TSN poll.
However, UMass is in the "others receiving votes" section of the FCS Coaches Poll. Note that Delaware is still ranked #13 in the nation. Note also that two of the four Hens wins have been over DII West Chester and Delaware State (2-4).
UMass is 6th in the Lambert Poll.

Trevor Sasek is back as the starting QB for Delaware.

Darren Thellen makes the Boston Herald's "College Football Heroes" list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Speaking of heroes: Jesse Julmiste's current 18-549 30.5 AVE kick return totals rank him as #4 in UMass single season kick return records. He needs 54 yards to pass Steve Parnell's 603 yards (1968). Julmiste needs 239 more yards to break into the UMass Top-10 career kick returner list.
