Sunday--November 29th, 2015

After grinding out a blog post seven days a week since August, I'll be dropping to the off-season schedule of no Sunday posts, unless something big happens.

Don't know if you caught this tweet from Matty Vautour:

It isn't always easy to deal with reporters, but UMass football seniors were classy win or lose. We appreciated it. Good luck in the future

Syracuse beat Boston College to drop the Eagles to 3-9 (only one FBS win).

Lots of sub-plots to that game. The Orange fired HC Scott Shafer after only three years. I wonder if Don Brown will make a bid to coach there. He has a history of moving around and it's a Northeast job, which he prefers.

In addition, perhaps UMass can poach some of Syracuse's recruits. The Orange have  three-star verbals from a pro-style QB  as well as 6-3 240 pound TE.

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

Temple crushed UConn. If the Owls win the AAC's championship game, Temple could be the highest rated Group-of-Five team and play on New Year's day.

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

Stanford kicked a field goal with one second left to knock Notre Dame out of playoff contention.

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

Colorado dropped to 4-9 with a loss to Utah.

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

Colgate withstood a late rally by New Hampshire to win at Durham in the first round of the FCS playoffs.
