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 5 points. A No. 2 is worth three and a No. 1 is worth 2.

Three Stars from UMass vs. Albany

No. 1 - Victor Cruz -The senior wide receiver was terrific with six catches for 121 yards. His two touchdowns broke the game open.

No. 2 - Jeromy Miles  - 
Seven tackles, a forced fumble and an interception. UMass is at its best when he's making big plays.

No. 3. - Jared Chivers - Stepped in at center with John Ihne injured and UMass didn't miss a beat.

Honorable mention: D.J. Adeoba

Season to date points:

Victor Cruz-5
Ke'Mon Bailey - 5
Tyler Holmes - 3
Jeromy Miles - 3
Tony Nelson - 2
Jared Chivers -2
