First play from scrimmage?

[UConnErik]

I'm thinking spread formation.....McComb alone in the backfield....Whitmer over center....three step drop and a quick out to Michael Smith.

TOUCHDOWN!

Annexation of Puerto Rico.

 

[Brochacho]

I think a flea flicker for the first play would be nice... didn't that happen a year or two ago?

I do think it's a pass, but not too risky -- clear visibility, high probability ... maybe a slant to Nick Williams ... Ryan Griffin over the middle, or maybe Whitmer's roommate Shakim Phillips ... McCombs in the flat as a check-off option.

WR screen or a slant with hb checkdown

 

[TheRogers]

I will go out on a limb here.......I think we run the ball.....with....just maybe....McCombs.

 

[ibleedhuskyblue]

i wouldnt expect too much creativity in general tonight. PP is a smart guy...he wont give too much away for the coming weeks game tapes.

on that note, i expect a run off right guard. many of those today, along with short passes.

+1 McCombs inside the tackles.

 

[AJC88]

+1 McCombs inside the tackles.

yup

That brings back great memories. The ole' WR screen that Uconn would use for a 2 yd pass while every other team would get 15 yards on it against us.

 

[UCername]

Inside handoff to Donald Brown.

Please! Fans said that last year for the Fordham opener. That UConn wouldn't get too creative in general and the PP wouldn't give too much away for the coming weeks game tapes. Turns out there was very little offense to "give away", period. So the reality was that PP didn't want to expose . . . What? That UConn would have no offense. Maybe the Fordham game could have given the QB & WRs a little more of a confidence boost and allow for some rythmn to develop.

You're not gonna score and be good by simply playing it close to the vest. Better that you work game skills in an actual game.

If we get a nice lead it would be nice to throw a lot to show others we are serious about passing this year so we don't see 9 in the box. Until we actually throw more teams will believe the coaching staff will stick with a conservative game plan.

navy did it us at the rent. I was at that game and it was all downhill from there.

Fake handoff to McCombs on what looks like a draw play, then over the top to an open Smith for the 2nd score of the game. The first score being a 105 yard opening kickoff return for a TD by Nick Williams.

Why not a double reverse to Nick Williams?

Put that on tape for teams to worry about the rest of the year.

 

[huskymedic]

I'm thinking a very vanilla play book tonight... Nothing special to NCST

 

[uconnbaseball]

A run to the right side for 3 yards.
