Anthony Fucillo

Yet none of that means much to junior Anthony Fucillo, the Jumbos' quarterback, for whom history is just beginning.The only relevant numbers for him are 11-for-22, 178 yards, one touchdown, no interceptions.That was his stat line in his first career Div. III game, a 20-14 win over Wesleyan last Saturday.Not a bad start for a new quarterback learning a new system.

"I'm happy with how I've come so far," said Fucillo, who transferred in from Div.I Colgate."The fact of the matter is I've only been here for a little over a month.The coaches and the players have all done a really good job of helping me to fit in."

The toughest adjustment period for Fucillo came after the opening kickoff, when he had to learn in real time how to lead the Tufts offense.

The stat line shows a trend: Fucillo was 4-for-14 in the first half, overthrowing his receivers by a step or two each time.But they fell into sync in the second, with Fucillo going 7-for-8.Part of the credit for that, he admitted, goes to the Wesleyan defense.

"To be honest with you, I got hit pretty hard," Fucillo said.

"They're still going to play hard," Fucillo said.

Tufts was second in the conference in passing efficiency, maintaining a 135.8 rating, while Fucillo averaged just under 200 yards per game through the air. It was Fucillo's stellar ability to mesh with his wideouts, rather than his natural physical abilities that gave the Jumbos that extra edge in the passing game.

"I've had a great connection with all the quarterbacks I've played with so far, but Anthony and I had a really strong relationship," Halas said.
