Interesting commentary on punter situation:
>>"Luke's done a good job of coming in but it has been tough on him with the whirlwind tour he was on to get here and also getting out there, getting with a snapper and holder for the first time in his career and all of those things. From that standpoint, I think he has done a fabulous job. I think he has the best upside in terms of strongest leg, height, hang time on his punts but I have to be smart when I make a decision to make sure I do what is right because I don't want to have somebody's confidence take a hit if they are not ready because sometimes that can backfire."<< (my emphasis).

Mike Anthony: UConn's Opener Will Bring New Team Into Focus

>>The Holy Cross game, like any opener, will provide answers that can't be found in any offseason setting. "It will be interesting to see how these guys play, how they react, because you just don't know," Edsall said. "You find out a lot of different things, how people react in different situations when they've never been out there. For me and for the staff, we don't know how any of them react because we haven't been around them in a real game situation."<<
 
Edsall decided to make freshman Jordan Swann the punt and kick returner... I just see a guy who has a lot of confidence in his ability, a guy who has the ability to be able to make some plays. The job's not too big for him. He's smooth."

Really interested in seeing what Edsall see in him. We need more guys capable of making big plays. It would be good to see us actually getting yards on returns.

This is an interesting quote because there might be one or two situations where the negative football philosophy from the past few years gets in the way of making quick decisions that involve some risk. That needs to come out in game 1 and get extinguished by the new staff immediately.

Some young guys are going to make mistakes for sure. But some guys are going to make plays which can be a good thing when you don't know what you don't know.
