While saying Cole Millen is back to the prospect that committed to Oregon.

I am replying to my own post, lol.

I think this is a big test for Turner - he is a true freshman and it has shown so far, if he struggles v. a P5 this week I don’t think there is anything wrong with getting Millen into games.

There is an art to this.

Need to make sure there are certain play packages based on down/distance or another identifiable metric where Cale comes in for his plays.

Makes it easy to explain to both QB's what is being done and mitigate any incertsinty for rest of team over QB situation.

And that they are going to work on ways to make use of him. That doesn’t mean that Turner isn’t the starter or is in danger of losing that position. It just means that they are likely to run sets for Cole.

-> More than 62% of the plays UConn has called on offense through two games have been on the ground (93). The Huskies have averaged 259.5 rushing yards per game and 5.6 yards per attempt. <-

-> Carter sits at 313 total yards for the season after amassing 190 at Utah State and 123 against Central Connecticut. He is averaging 156.5 rushing yards per game, good for second in the FBS. Carter’s rushing load includes over 46% of the team’s carries – the rest, however is picked up by the speedy combination of Brian Brewton (15 att. for 80 yards) and Devontae Houston (6 att. for 44 yards).

UConn has also utilized power back Robert Burns and receivers Aaron Turner and Dajon Harrison in the run game. Freshman Victor Rosa, a Bristol Central High alum, saw game action against CCSU and put together an impressive run for his first career touchdown in garbage time. Backup quarterback Cale Millen, who is coming back from shoulder surgery, has seen in-game reps mostly come on run plays, though one pass play was called against CCSU where Millen had to throw it away. <-

The issue is when the front 7 becomes 9 in the box. You need to make the defense pay the price by passing. I’m not sure we can do that.

Agreed. Need to make improvements to keep the D honest.

We are up to +23 now. As crazy it seems to write this phrase - we should cover that.

-> For UConn, the plan is unchanging: Establish the running game to create passing opportunities for its young quarterback.

“Schematically, we’re at the point in our development where best thing for us to do is just do what we do and continue to try and do it better and better,” Mora said. “Because we haven’t played a lot in this scheme together, only two games.” <-

SU's OLine has a huge size advantage over UConn's DLine.

UConn's OLine has a size advantage over SU's DLine.

Whichever team can control LOS and time of possession may just wear down the other team.

UConn has to have sustained drives, convert on 3rd down and keep their defense off the field as much as possible through three qtrs to have a chance Saturday night.

I like this guy... JM comes across as a truly genuine straightforward guy... He's gonna have this team ready, as best he and staff can... and not to simply cover (which we'll do easily... I'm calling it)... Syracuse is in for a little more than what the DraftKings and those are thinking...
