Matty Vautour has superlatives from training camp: best looking Minutemen player and best athlete.

He also has "Can UMass exceed low expectations?" The answer is yes. I really don't know why we are ranked below teams like Eastern Michigan. UMass does have a significantly tougher schedule this year. We play four BCS teams OOC (and nobody, including Alabama does that) and we play three of the top four teams in the MAC.
