YOUNG BUCKS

UMass football is tied for the FBS lead in total true-freshmen to start a game this season with seven, alongside only Alabama and Stanford.
Massachusetts had two rookies make starts on offense and five do so on defense.
The seven freshmen to make starts this season include Helber Fagundes (OL), Wilson Frederic (DL), Jermaine "OC" Johnson, Jr. (WR), Grant Laws (DL), Josh Wallace (CB), Johnathon Weir (DL), Billy Wooden (DL).

OFFENSE FROM DEFENSE

Isaiah Rodgers ties for the active lead among all FBS players with three career interceptions returned for touchdowns.
He is one of only two players in the nation with three interceptions returned for touchdowns currently competing, alongside Louisiana Tech's Amik Robertson.
There are 21 players with two interceptions returned for touchdowns currently active as well.
Rodgers is the only active Minutemen with an interception returned for a touchdown.
In the history of the program, 36 different players have returned at least one interception for a touchdown, including Rodgers.

1K RUNNING CLUB

Redshirt junior running back Bilal Ally reached 1,000 career rushing yards during the game at Louisiana Tech (10/12) as part of his 10-carry, 92-yard outing.
He reached 1,000 exactly with his 212th career rush (fifth of the night).
Ally is the second Minuteman in the team's FBS era (2012-pr.) with 1,000 or more career rushing yards.
He joins Marquis Young (2015-18), who had 3,631 on 685 carries in his four seasons.
