AMHERST - After pausing for a week of final exams, the University of Massachusetts Minutemen submitted to an eminently manageable test last night in the form of the Central Connecticut State Blue Devils.

Don't believe the hype. That's the message University of Massachusetts football coach Don Brown gave his team yesterday, as it arrived here for the NCAA Division 1 Subdivision Championship game (better known as the Division 1-AA final).

One minute and 17 seconds. That was how much time stood between Chelmsford and a home-opening victory over Acton-Boxboro. But the Colonials came up with a spectacular play to win, 15-14, last night and add to the Lions' frustration in this rivalry.

Teams often try to establish the running game early in hopes of wearing down the opposition and eating up the clock. Boston English accomplished both in the first half yesterday, rushing for 129 yards and chewing up 14:54.
