Like last year, for every UMass game this season, I'll be giving out
three stars to the top three performers from the Minutemen and keeping
track of who earns the most three-start points over the course of the
season.

I'm putting a little extra weight on No. 1. So a No. 1
star is worth five points. A No. 2 is worth three and a No. 3 is worth
two.

Three Stars from UMass vs. Villanova

No. 1 Julian Talley - He's quietly having a terrific season with big numbers again in a bad loss.

No. 2 - Tyler Holmes - Holmes had a big day, didn't get enough help.

No. 3 - Matt Campbell -One carry. One touchdown. Wasn't his fault.

Season to date points:

Jonathan Hernandez - 18
Tyler Holmes -14
Julian Talley - 12

Darren Thellen - 10
Jesse Julmiste - 8
Emil Igwenagu-4
Kirk Nelms 3
Ed Saint Vil - 3
Kellen Pagel - 2
Matt Campbell -2
Strait/Pendagast - 2
Brandon Hill 1
