CONFIRMED: Boyle Takes Over as QB

[EdgewoodNHV]

#3. Announcing that you will be starting a true freshmen QB TWO WEEKS in advance of a game, is giving your opponent defense two weeks to prepare for #2.

Oh yeah, I'm sure USF would be totally blown away and shocked that we didn't start the quarterback who gave away so many crippling possessions that we actually benched him last game. They'd never figure it out, especially after two straight weeks of us hemming and hawing about who should play QB and all of the insinuations about how fast Boyle has shot up the depth chart.

They'd probably prepare for Boyle anyway. What do you need to do to prepare for Whitmer? "Okay, defensive backs, just stand there and don't worry -- he's going to throw the ball right at you."

I want to be the second person in this thread to use the word "douchey". It does feel like PP was a bit douchey by talking about the change at QB. It wasn't his place to talk about it...and he wouldn't have if he was still the head coach..so...yes...that was douchey.

They owe it to the seniors and the fans to try and win as many games this year as possible. That means playing Boyle...not worrying who will be the UConn QB 4 years from now. If we were 8 games in...you might not...but there are 8 games left.

Being irrelevant on the national college football landscape is one thing....being irrelevant in the AAC is another. UConn needs to win some games in the AAC and it appears the coaches think Boyle is the best option to get that done.

Nice move by TJ.

When Cody and then Box took over for Zach i'm sure Zach was really down, to Zach's credit he came back better then ever when his number was called again and helped lead us to the Fiesta Bowl. Hopefully Chandler will keep his head up and be ready when called on again because odds are he will be called upon again.

You're never out of it until you quit on yourself.
