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. 3 is worth 2.

Three Stars from UMass vs. MaineNo. 1 - Tyler Holmes  - The sophomore standout made 16 tackles in the loss and had an impressively athletic interception. He's the best player UMass has. No. 2 - Eric Dickson  -Fourteen tackles for the underhyped senior linebacker.No. 3. - ??????- Did anyone else really standout. I'd say Ke'Mon Bailey for his two-point PAT return, but he was burned on a TD earlier so It's hard to put him here. Season to date points:
