    The View from Section 241 — Syracuse

    For the love of God can we put people on the field to block the gunners and those running up the center of the field so we can return a punt? Harper did a good job catching the punts but was hammered. This has been a multiyear ongoing issue. In the second half Cuse punter short legged one so...

    Syracuse post game thread

    The last half of 3rd Q and the entire 4th Q I am thinking if we get one score we win. The offense was a mess. Honig drop was huge. Bell sweep to our bench on a couple yards needed for a first down was dumb. Fagnano has to run the ball once or twice a game on the read option. Offense blew the...

    UConn Transfers Out Performances With New Teams

    Cam Ross showed out right off the bat at UConn. Joly also rose week by week to be a standout as a young player. Don't know if them leaving was all money related but when Skyler Bell returned he told us the story. Joe Fagnano returned and he stayed at UConn. All receivers need to believe that the...

    3-3-5 defense

    We did send people on blitz type rushes. The worry to me is if the runner breaks the line there is no one in the middle to stop them. We had King attacking from various spots. This had him engaged with O-lineman. Hé's quick but not the biggest rusher. He would be the most experienced player to...

    The View From Section 241 — Central

    Going into the Syracuse game we are way better off having played Central than having had an opener like last year at Maryland then playing an FCS. Defense had a chance to find out how well they work together. Central had a good returning QB, RB and 2 preseason all conference O-lineman so they...

    Game Week 2025: UConn v. Central Connecticut State Blue Devils (Saturday 8/30/25 @2p on WWAX/UConn+ with Audio on Varsity Network & FoxSports 97.9)

    Our RBs are good receivers, especially Edwards and Brown. With Fagnano back I see us being able to use the passing game to help out the run game. But obviously we need to be able be balanced on offense and get our backs going. Fagnano is not a running type QB so Gordon will have a plan to get...

    Game Week 2025: UConn v. Central Connecticut State Blue Devils (Saturday 8/30/25 @2p on WWAX/UConn+ with Audio on Varsity Network & FoxSports 97.9)

    Our inside O-line has plenty of experience. How will the tackles perform? The big question for the opener is the defense with 9 new starters. We had loads of D-line experience and depth last year. This is the group that we need to see if they can dominate.

    Bad news for McNeeley?

    Liam would definitely start on the Hartford Caps. Most likely would sellout Bloomfield High.

    What's the best sporting event/game you ever attended

    A game that didn't count. As a 12 year old my Dad took me to the Giants vs Jets preseason game in 1969 at the Yale Bowl. We were Giants fans. Their first meeting ever it had all the buzz of the two opposing fanbases as the Jets were Super Bowl winners. There were small bleachers on the field for...

    OT: Bill Belichick

    The fact Belichick never mentioned Kraft in his book, not once, really says something. About him. Kraft knew what a mistake it was for Tom Brady not to finish his career in Gillette. BB also had Gronk at the end of his rope emotionally, so he retired only to come back to play again with Brady in...

    Alex Karaban is BACK

    AK needs to find a way in offseason training to get a quicker first step. And also finding a way to be more consistent from 3. The multigame shooting woes from 3 really limit NBA interest I would think. He would be a good complimentary player with a consistent 3 shot. Alex was a good shot...
