Football Poll Coverage

Several news outlets carried stories about the preseason Colonial Athletic Association football poll released Wednesday that put UMaine in ninth place. The Portland Press Herald noted that UMaine defensive back Jerron McMillian was picked as a safety on the preseason all-conference defensive team. The Bangor Daily News interviewed coach Jack Cosgrove about the ranking. Cosgrove was also mentioned in a Richmond Times-Dispatch story about UMaine’s commitment to keeping football despite the fact that many New England schools are closing their programs.
