Monday--October 7, 2013

Bulletin, Bulletin, Bulletin: Keeper's College football ratings has UMass a 9.81 favorite over the Red Hawks. That's probably the first time ever the Minutemen have been favored over an FBS team.

Vegas has UMass by 3.5.

Coach Molnar does not want another quarterback competition. The article says A.J. Doyle was still being bothered by his ankle injury. Doyle went 4-17 20 yards LONG 7 yards in Saturday's game.

Jimmy Kelly of Hustle Belt says UMass has a quarterback conundrum (wish I thought of that phrase).

Coach Molnar is really, really proud of Jamal Wilson. This is the type of article that makes me believe that UMass is making progress. Wilson can play. Lorenzo Woodley, a highly rated recruit has been nicked up from day one. Stacey Bedell ran well against a couple of BCS teams. Daquan Mack, a 6-1 255 pound fullback is waiting in the wings. Those guys have gotta be a good as any backfield in the MAC.

Justin Anderson had a good game for the Minutemen against Bowling Green. He had 3 UT 2 AT 2 TFL and 2 SACKS.

Miami (Ohio) fires Don Threadwell after a 0-5 start.

Dan Malone also has an article on Threadwell's firing. The Redhawks faced a pretty tough schedule including Marshall, Kentucky, Illinois and Cincinnati. Miami gave up over 50 points in two of those games and 41 against Kentucky. The Miami offense has only scored 44 points this season.

Bryan Vance of Hustle Belt comments on Threadwell's firing.

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

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports Miami cuts ties with Treadwell and Akron and Kent State look for rays of light.

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

That ray of light has been avoiding Victor Cruz and the Giants.

Michael Cox did not get any carries even though the Giants lost another RB against the Eagles.
