Thursday--November 14, 2013

Saturday will be Senior Day at Gillette. Hope a lot of UMass fans will turn out to honor the Seniors; they've certainly been through interesting times.

Still no game notes from the Akron side.

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

A.J. Doyle looks to return to starting QB Saturday despite some nagging injuries.

Coach Molnar reflects on his first win as a head coach one year ago at Akron.

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

Matty Vautour reports Doyle expects to start Saturday.

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

The UMass Daily Collegian says the Minutemen are hoping for a win against the Zips.

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

CBS Sports says Ball State made a game of it, but NIU's Jordan Lynch wore out the Cardinals.

The win pushes the Huskies to 10-0 and closer to a BCS game. If NIU should be chosen, it would be a financial boost for the entire MAC and UMass. The non-BCS leagues also split TV money by ranking and NIU's potential BCS game would help in that regard.

On the other end of the line, Kent State beat Miami to push the Red Hawks to 0-10.

The "Hail Mary" tip is now just a footnote in James Ihedogbo's life.

Victor Cruz turns 27.
