Diaco sat with all QB's by his side. Another reminder that more than one QB will be playing this season. #UConn

This was the best situation. Need to keep Whitmer and Chandler healthy so Boyle doesn't blow the redshirt year. Wish we could watch these pressers online.

Well I'm not surprised. Casey was "the manager" on the field as far as I was concerned. We've got some heavyweights coming in early this year and you just need to go with the known commodity, and the guy who is least likely to lose the game for you. That's not a knock on the other 2, and I'm still very high on Tim Boyle. But after last year's terrible misuse of Tim there may need to be another transition period for him. Against BYU and Boise is not the time to do that IMO.

Chandler also has some good tools, but under the pressure and mismanagement of the offense by GDL, was never able to settle into a rhythm and generate a consistent attack. There always seemed to be an element of desperation, probably caused by running for his life. I believe he can do the job if needed but you can't argue with the success we had under Casey even though the circumstances and the opposition were radically different.

Big decision #1 in the books. Go Casey! Go UConn!

"We are not 2 platoon, 2 headed monster. Casey is the starting QB. Chandler will come in to play his role." Diaco

Gotta give Diaco a ton of credit, this was a tricky situation with the QB's and he has managed to get everyone to buy in while keeping Palatine and BL happy.

I figured it would be Cochran, I wonder how much of this two QB system talk is just to keep Whitmer from losing focus ( for lack of a better term).

I can't imagine that "closer to 51-49 split than 85-15" is good for either QB or the team.

So Diaco expects Cochran to have the game wrapped up early in the third quarter and have Chandler come in for mop up duty (closer to the 51-49 split)?

13-0 here we come!! Can't wait to get to the field next week to see how this really plays out.

Agree 100%. We have a starter. No need to state that 51/49 nonsense.

I took those reps to be practice reps not game reps but I could be wrong.

Bob Diaco said QB reps between Cochran and Whitmer will be closer to 51/49 percent breakdown than 85/15

I have no idea what this means in reality. I'm hoping...I don't what I hoping...it's a ridiculous statement that I didn't think BD had in him. CW playing H-Back? Tight End? This has never worked in my recollection. I guess I'm hoping he is lying.

First major decision and he did not nail it. Hardly a confidence booster for a starter to look over his shoulder. Do not state that stuff in the press coach. Name a starter and SYFM.
Ugggghh
HCBD man crushers, bring it on......

Just as long as it's not WR.
