"9-4"

[UConnDan97]

Yup. You heard it here first. We're going 9-4. We'll have almost two full weeks to get our OLine working on the old blocking systems again. That isn't a lot of time, but is likely enough time to beat USF.
Then, off the victory against USF, we keep carrying the momentum and keep riding behind our bigs on the OLine. All of the sudden, 150 yards on the ground is not out of the question. Lyle and Max both look really good again. Whitmer not running for his life and trying to do too much. Davis and Phillips rip up the opponents. Ring the bell. Ring the bell. Ring the bell. Here come the Huskies...

God, I love this!! Much missed optimism.

Unfortunately, if I'm not mistaken, Cincy used the zone blocking scheme in their offense so if Weist was using their playbook.....

If someone could ask Sean Mulchahy if transitioning back to power blocking is something that is even possible in a short time I'd love to know the answer.

About damn time.

It's a brand new season!

If we can somehow turn the blocking and defense around, a 7-8 win season is not impossible. We haven't won 3 straight games in over 3 years. That needs to change.

The last time we collectively felt this good was when it was rumored that GDL was going to the Giants. Wait....I'm sensing a trend...

Haven't won 2 consecutive games since Randy's last five regular season games in 2010.
