Big blow to #BYU. Cougars announce RB Jamaal Williams (over 2500 yds in his career) has withdrawn from school and will redshirt this fall.

Jamaal Williams was one of the better RBs in CFB.#BYU will really miss him..Cougars play#Nebraska, #Boise, #UCLA & #Michigan in Sept

I noted in another post that BYU plays @Nebraska, hosts Boise St, goes to Pasadena to play UCLA and then to Ann Arbor to play Michigan in consecutive weeks before returning home to meet up with the Huskies. UConn might be able to jump these guys by virtue of BYU being beat up, tired, overlooking the Huskies as this will be their "breather" before homecoming vs ECU(and then Cinci right after).

I'd be shocked if they won more than 1 of those 4.

Really tough stretch for them. By then we should hope to have taken some steps forward offensively. They're not gonna like our defense much either.

Best part is we didn't even face him last year when we play BYU because he was suspended the opener due to alcohol consumption.

Is Hill (?) that QB back?

Has anyone posted the proverbial "Uconn should take a look at him" post yet?

 

[Hoophound]

UConn should take a look at him.

Hill is still there and the team will still be tough.

Yes, Hill is still there - but they lose their starting RB and starting TE and depth will likely becomes a problem by the time they get through Nebraska, Boise, UCLA and Michigan all in a row before us.
