Dan Malone has four helmet stickers for the Vanderbilt game. If you were at the game, you know that Vanderbilt's last two scores were by truly exceptional plays. Commodore QB Carta-Samuels escaped a sack and completed a pass to Jordan Matthews on the first score. A Vandy RB made a real good run to score the final TD. The defense really did all they could on those two plays.

Coach Molnar is pleased with the play of the defensive secondary.

For UMass, the bye week couldn't have come at a better time. With Broadnax out long-term, losing Woodley and Bedell certainly impacted the second half of the Vanderbilt game.

Sorry to hear Joey Colton might be out for a while. He's been a real spark plug in the defense.
