Matty V talks about Tyler Holmes and Caleb Violette receiving the CAA Defensive and Special Teams Player-of-the-Week respectively.
The UMass website has an story on the awards.

Matty Looks at the playoff possibilities, so I will too.
Delaware 6-2, had the easiest OOC in the CAA. They have three wins over DII West Chester, 4-3 Duquesne and 3-5 South Dakota State. With Towson, @UMass and Villanova at home remaining, the Hens should be favored in all three. Delaware wins the CAA title and a #2 seed with lots of home games in the playoffs. Delaware is coming out of an off week for the Towson game.
Villanova 6-2 has Rhode Island, UNH at home and @ Delaware. Playing without Matt Szczur most of the season, the Wildcats have looked solid. I think Villanova will win two of the three. The Wildcats should be the #2 CAA team.
Whitney makes it happen for Villanova.
William & Mary 6-2 has the toughest remaining slate with @ UNH, @JMU and Richmond at home. I'll say the Tribe loses to UNH and beats the other two and finishes 8-3. The Tribe will be the #3 CAA team.
UNH 5-3 has William & Mary at home and away @Towson and @Villanova. The northern Wildcats win the home game and Towson to finish 7-4
UMass 5-3 has home games against Delaware and Maine and @Rhode Island. the Minutemen rarely beat the Hens, but that is somewhat compensated by the game in McGuirk where UMass usually plays well. Rhode Island is a better team this year. I'll say the Minutemen go 2-1, but all three games will be close.
UMass and UNH could end up being tied at 7-4 and they beat us head-to-head...

UMass is #15 in both the FCS Coachs Poll and The Sports Network poll.

North Dakota and Southern Utah are joining the Big Sky conference. South Dakota is expected to also join.
That makes the Big Sky the largest FCS league in the nation.
