From the UMass game notes about Holmes feat.

Tyler Holmes became the first player in UMass history to return two interceptions for touchdowns in the same game as well as in the same season.

Holmes became the first player in 2010 in all of Division I football (FBS and FCS) to return two INTs for TDs and just the 23rd all-time in all of FCS. The last player to accomplish the feat was Kellin White, Southeast Mo. St. vs. UT Martin on Oct. 30, 2004.

Holmes became the third player in UMass history to return two interceptions for touchdowns in a CAREER. He joined Anton McKenzie (2000-03) and Jerard White (1996-99). For Holmes, the two touchdowns were the first of his career.

The last player in the CAA to return two interceptions for scores was Allante Harrison of Towson in 2004.

BTW, UMass is tied for third in the CAA. If we should beat Delaware next week we would own the tiebreaker against two of the top three...
