Nelson Returns for UMass/Delaware Match
Posted: Wed Oct 07, 2009 7:15 am
The sixth leading rusher in UMass history will return to the starting lineup this Saturday as the Minutemen travel to Newark and an evening match against Delaware...
http://www.masslive.com/sports/index.ss ... ing_m.htmlUMass will welcome back senior tailback Tony Nelson, who sat out the Sept. 26 victory over Stony Brook with what was described as an “upper body” injury.
In Nelson’s absence, sophomore Jonathan Hernandez rushed 29 times for 140 yards and three touchdowns.
Morris made clear that Nelson, the No. 6 rusher in UMass history, remains the go-to back. The emergence of Hernandez might make it easier to lessen Nelson’s load, though.
