Game Week 2022 - UConn v. Syracuse (Saturday 9/10/22 @ 7p on CBSSN)

[Husky68]

As mentioned earlier, Fruit was in a 17 to 7 game till 4th qtr where had a 15 yard and 25 yard TD drives so turnovers were big factor in making game look one sided. UConn squandered several good TD positions so could have scored in 30's or more.
Range of play could get to UConn close win up to Fruit getting a big (25 or more points) win. I'm pulling for the upset with some good turnover differential for UConn.
After 2 games it is reasonable UConn will win at least 1 game this year.

Good kid. Was a teammate of my son. Nice parents. Dad played at UConn. You may hear mom say night - she’s a screamer.

Too bad he chose Cuse, but understandable at the time. Unfortunately I can’t root for him and I hope they wear the wrong shoes.

Just bought tickets for me and my 3 grandchildren…can I pay for parking at the gate… or is it better to pay online before the game? I haven’t been to a game in 4 years and I went though Pratt to get tickets at the time so I’m not sure what would be best

Yes you can pay at the gate. If you want to park super close to the stadium, I believe you can buy a blue lot pass on stubhub or other secondary sites. if available. Can't buy a blue lot pass at the gate, but can basically pay to park anywhere else.

Gimme the points. I got 22.5...won't go higher, will only get bet down. 2-0 against the spread so far this year and still getting disrespected in the lines. Mora has us beating Vegas so far.

Man, the depth chart would have such a different feel with Ross and Marion as the top WRs. The team is lacking the WR threats to keep teams from stacking the box against the run. Until UConn can establish a passing game to compliment the work of Carter, Brewton and others it will be a tough season against stronger competition. This is where Charlton needs to work his magic and build Zion's confidence. More TE routes in the seams and some kind of down field threat are needed to keep the defense honest. A team can't win with a running game, bubble screens and swing passes. I also think that this fact is the reason why Mora mentioned using Millen is certain situations. Millen is more of a passing threat at this point.

This is what I have been hoping to see. Also an option pass to a tight end off a reverse, a la Lashlee.

I still think your best bet is to park at the Aero Club on Silver Lane across fron The Rent. Pay at the gate and much easier post-game.

I just got 2 tickets to the fruit game. 1st time in 3 years after having season tickets for 14 years. Two of the 15K they are looking for to fill/make noise in the rent. Lets Go HUSKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can’t make it but my nephew the Cuse alum will be there. Would love nothing more than to call him afterwards and talk smack. Let’s do this!

Zion has certainly said all the right things so far. UConn is lucky to have him. Looking forward to what the future holds as things move forward under Coach Mora.

Zion seems a little high given 1 fumble and 1 interception and 2 td's and less than 200 yards passing and running combined.
