From the UMass Twitter feed

Last year UMass had Tajae Sharpe and that was about it for offensive weapons except for the 6 games or so Rob Blanchflower played. This year, with Whipple's offense and Blake Fronapfel, the Minutemen have 11 players with five or more receptions, but that has not impacted Sharpe's march through the UMass record book.

In 2014, Sharpe has gone 63-965 15.3 AVE 5 TD 77 LONG 107.2 yards/game.
