Agree 100%. If a passing offense was a threat, an opposing team would not prioritize stacking the LOS to stop the run.

I've seen that scenario quite a bit over the last 40 years. It must be part of the DNA required in a UConn offensive coordinator philosophy!

I've been following and rooting for UConn FB since 1969. I swear, the games as a 1-aa team were much more exciting and competitive. I was excited to see UConn make an attempt to upgrade schedule and excitement when they announced they were going 1-a. After all these years, the problem in my...

maybe it's the coaches who are limited.

I'd like to believe we've had a talent upgrade in coaching. And hopefully that will result in talent upgrade in recruiting. IMO ever since 1aa-1a move, a number of recruits need a couple of years of practice to reach the skill levels of those schools that traditionally are stocked with 3*-4*...

This is a tough call one way or the other. Revenue will be down if you play or don't play in any sport.....especially in the academic 20/21 time frame. If they do play, universities may not be allowed to offer tickets on a "sellout" basis. For every seat occupied, one to the left/right would...

BOTH

To put it in another perspective, to convert MPH to Ft/sec, multiply MPH X 1.5. Not exact conversion, but close enough. e.g. 60 MPH = 90 ft/sec. Imagine running from home plate to 1st base in one second!

A couple of years ago (2017) I had a "personal contact" named Kristina Tedford. She was more than exceptional. Kept in contact with me even after I recommitted for 2017 season. Kristina left Dec 2017. Last time I heard from anyone was February 2018. Effort has dropped off in a lot of areas, in...

The biggest concern is whether we can get a quality coach to accept the job........right now, the quality of athlete UConn attracts is more often than not FCS or lower. Never mind the teams performance has been the "worst of the worse". This program is currently a career killer. You can offer me...

Didn't RE last fall suggest that there were players on the team that did not know how to play football? I'm guessing a good portion were under the radar recruits. So now we're looking for under the radar coaches (i.e those who don't have other offers?) Sounds like a winner to me........let's...

It wasn't too long ago when, during an ESPN broadcast of Oklahoma-Houston game remarked.....Houston doesn't have to travel too far outside of Houston to find skilled players to compete at the highest level. Houston didn't do too bad in the old SEC.....remember Earl Campbell?

I wish all well, and hopefully there is enough talent such that of the 4 year window for playing, they don't have to spend two-three years in conditioning and training to get to the point they can compete physically with our opponents. Some of the players appear "tiny" in weight class for their...

No. The perception of the league in general may change, but no P-5 (no matter how bad) school is going to move to a G% conference just for the sake of being the champion of the best G5 conference and an "automatic" bid. The G5 and team revenues will not match that they get as an awful team in a...

I don't think I've ever witnessed a recruiting class so poor in numbers this late in the season. It seems we usually had this many athletes orally committed by mid summer in years past. My real fear is that we may not even come close to the allotment we have available. Should we advertise in the...
