ESPN BE Blogger picks UConn as Dark Hourse Candidate to Win BE

[EdgewoodNHV]

Regardless of what you think about Andrea Adelson, this is a pretty gutsy pick on her part:

Edit: Not really sure how I managed to misspell "horse" but hey... that's something.

Since they picked Louisville, Rutgers, and South Florida as favorites, Andrea is really picking UConn as her #4 team. That sounds plausible.

How is God's name is USF a favorite after last year??? They lost Scott and some good DB's off a mediocre secondary. They are still average at WR and lost key OL guys.

After Louisville, it's hard to figure anything else in this conference. Rutgers has, on paper, been stockpiling players, but they now have a new staff and still haven't shown they have an OL, a TB or a QB. USF -- they will have to win something before I ever pick them for anything.

I don't even know how you can have a darkhorse in a conference without much of a favorite

The league certainly isn't as intimidating with WVU gone. Why not us? I know we say it every year, but improved QB play is huge. Also, the pass defense from last year has to get better in order to have a shot.

We're UConn, winning is what we do.

We're UConn Football, we didn't get to .500 last year.

Yes, but by mouthing vacuous buzzphrases Palatine thinks he's setting himself up to harshly criticize anything that goes wrong during the season.

What an evil genius.

Well, we certainly knew that, didn't we!

i think when you declare almost half the conference as favorites, naming a dark horse is kind of silly.

I think orange bowl had last pick last year. Not sure who gets the last pick this year

Hmmm... If you are going to Miami to look for the ORANGE BOWL, you'll see instead the Marlins BALLPARK, NOT the Orange Bowl. They tour it down... and the Orange Bowl is in Fort Lauderdale at Dolphins Stadium.

I'm just glad that someone "independent" is actually recognizing the potential that this year's team has. Getting the QB position fixed is obviously the most important thing but if we do manage to get that right, this could be a very good team.
