Whether we win or lose.....It's nice to see us making changes when things are definitely NOT working. Shirreffs for Pindell....more Hopkins.....

Just glad to see adjustments to a game plan....it's been a long time since I've felt we've made any.

Our OL is still the major problem. We really need to protect and block better. Pindell got hammered all night, but he is not the reason why we are down. Hopefully BS can bring some of that running back.

 

[Coach J]

Even the D is showing little spring in their step finally.

Clearly they have.

Well, at least more experienced including a pretty productive QB out last season due to injury. That said, plenty of time to win the game.

Holy Cross Release: Crusaders To Open Season On Thursday At UConn

>>On the offensive side of the ball, Holy Cross returns 16 of the 22 players off last year’s final two-deep chart. They will look to build on what they did a year ago, averaging 356.0 yards of total offense, 23.5 points and 19.2 first downs per game. Fifth-year senior quarterback Peter Pujals returns to lead the Crusaders after missing the majority of the 2016 season due to injury. A first team All-Patriot League selection in 2015, Pujals has hit on 833 of 1,366 passes for 8,919 yards and 67 touchdowns during his collegiate career, while rushing 429 times for 1,605 yards and 16 scores. The offense also brings back fifth-year senior offensive lineman James Murray, who was named second team All-Patriot League in 2016.<<

>>On the defensive side of the ball, the Crusaders have six starters back on a unit with the potential to develop into one of the top defenses in the conference. Holy Cross gave up 414.6 yards and 32.3 points per game in 2016, and will look to improve upon those numbers this fall. Senior linebacker Nick McBeath will lead the way after being named first team All-Patriot League in 2016. McBeath led the Patriot League with 106 tackles last season, to go along with eight tackles for loss, a sack, a forced fumble and a pass breakup.<<

 

[Adios]

Sherriffs needs to carve the defense once more....

And now everyone looks hungry.

 

[JustSaying]

BS looks like he belongs there. Brought instant energy onto the field.

UConn starts 8 seniors on defense even with Diggs out.

This entire game is an indictment of Diaco and calls the judgment of Lashlee into question.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Puyals finally showing some wear and tear.

 

[Carl Spackler]

Signs of life.

Fall down in the interior LOS more.

 

[huskyinfl]

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

We are done.....typical HC football

OK @HC1987 , I strongly prefer your optimism to a few too many UConn fans' negativism. Keep up the former!

 

[Tommyboy]

Lol. Announcers don't even know which guy is holy cross qb.

 

[cttxus]

We're going to win this game. The final 16 minutes is what the team can build on. The first 44 minutes go into the trash can.

 

[Chin Diesel]

?

He got up gingerly after that last hit.

 

[huskyinfl]

He sacrificed the mullet for us. He is anointed.

 

[Jimdish255]

So we suddenly start to throw down the middle and notice its wide open. Then stop.

 

[Coach J]

Pindall now the back-up.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Wow ok Sheriffs.

 

[Jimdish255]

If you left this game early you suck.

 

[cttxus]

TOUCHDOWN CONNECTICUT!!!!
