Game Week - UConn @ UVA (9/16/17 @ Noon on ESPN2)

[Husky25]

Yes doesn't he have 4 to play 4 which makes him a freshman? He didn't technically redshirt last year he wasn't on a team?

So effectively he's the same as a RFr but the R won't be next to his class as he works through the seasons I think.

At this point, we are saying the same thing. Rose cannot redshirt and still play 4 full seasons.

The only time I saw Rose on the field was on kick return.

How does that matter?

It doesn't. Dream asked what position did he play.

I'm not sure. I didn't notice him on offense. My response concerning all the redshirt mumbo jumbo was in response to Exit 4, which was in response to huskymedic. I do remember hearing on the coaches show leading up to the CHC game that Rose was in line for some time on Special teams. Though I'm unsure if he saw the field.

Yeah but you didn't quote me haha. Thanks though!

Halftime adjustments? As a UConn football fan the past six years, I am unfamiliar with that term. Explain please.

I believe that is when you put a different punt returner in at halftime because the returner you used in the first half wore out his arm by raising it too much.

It is similar to punt returns. Allowed by the rules but rarely practiced by the Bobster.

84 degrees and partly cloudy for Charlottesville on Saturday.

That's a nice fall day in Texas. Back east, that's a little warm for football.

Fuller: UConn’s Diggs to return against Virginia Saturday

>> I am really an emotional guy, a hyper guy and I am ready to rock right now. We could play today, tomorrow, the next day and I am going to be ready to go. It is going to be exciting playing at an ACC school, it is going to be loud, the louder the better for me personally. I am ready to go and hit somebody other than my own team.”<<

Keefe: New and improved Diggs eager to return to action for UConn

>>While sidelined, he gained some knowledge of the new defense, bonded with linebackers coach Jon Wholley and gained a whole new perspective to the game. "I'm picking everything back up where I left off," Diggs said of his return. "Coaches don't want any excuses and I don't want to give them any excuses if I mess up or I have a lapse here or there. I love it. The guys love it. I've just got to keep pushing.<<

UVA has a pretty bad offense. If our defense can play not god awful, which, with Foley, Vontae, among others back, game should definately be winnable.

 

[Jimdish255]

Looking forward to Diggs being back and some of the new Defensive Backs settling in. Pretty sure everyone learned a lot from Week 1. We could be in a good spot here if the offense resembles our second half against HC.

Don't tell anyone we have tight ends - well maybe our coaches.

CBS has 2 UVa defensive players listed as 1st rounders in 2018 mock draft.

2018 NFL Mock Draft: Jaguars nab huge SMU wideout, Giants land a franchise QB


27. Dallas Cowboys
Quin Blanding, S, Virginia . Blanding can do whatever you ask of him, really, but the Cowboys would let him patrol the deep middle and create turnovers with Byron Jones now more of a slot cornerback and strong safety than anything else. Blanding sees everything happen a split-second before everyone else on the field and is a sure tackler.


32. New England Patriots
Micah Kiser, LB, Virginia. Two first-round picks from Virginia? Yep, and it would be the first time since 2008. Kiser is a second-level eraser who can provide some pass-rushing help as a blitzer. Dont'a Hightower is one of the best linebackers in the AFC. He just needs an effective player next to him.
