Looking forward to the unicorn of college football...the first quarter touchdown.

Roll call! Tuned in now to IMG, Twitter and the BY. Hopefully, ESPN3 coverage doesn't disappoint. It looks like a great evening to be at the Rent! Go Huskies!

Did it start yet?

Thanks. It is blocked here in Florida unfortunately.

I should probably temper my expectations, but I am AMPED for this game right now.

It's Holy Cross, we better win.

 

[HuskyDogArt]

I thought you wanted the team dropped.

That's funny...Nelson, we are united in our love for UConn... that's united Republican and Democrat Husky fan...am I correct?

I have 9,000 sports channels on Xfinity except SNY. I go to ESPN3 and the game comes up blacked out in my area. I wanted to watch tonight. Oh well. Good luck Huskies. I hope the curse of Disastro gets lifted tonight with some touchdowns. You guys deserve some positives after the last few years.

Looks like a decent size crowd, all things considered.

 

[Jarhead_1775]

3 and out

 

[UConnMike04]

3 and out, it's okay.

 

[HuskyDogArt]

It's Holy Cross, we better win.

I hope we do...however, we did lose a few FCS games...

 

[Jarhead_1775]

They still suck.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Rough spot on third down after two short passes to Beals, then the OL gets owned.

 

[HawkHusky]

Crowd looks really good.

 

[HuskyDogArt]

They still suck.

Who does?

 

[UConnMike04]

Phew, flag bailed us out there.

 

[ZOOCONN]

backside penetration killed the 3rd down run. right across the face of degeorge

 

[cttxus]

First possession is 3 and out. left side of OLine fails to open a hole for Newsome on 3rd and 2. Punt.

 

[StingLykOllie]

Thank god

 

[HuskyDogArt]

We won the coin flip? If we lost that, I was going to call for RE firing...

 

[TitleTown]

Was that a Blitz? Haven't seen one of those in years!

 

[ZOOCONN]

place is rockinnnnnnn

 

[uconnbaseball]

We are getting a ton of pressure, which is very encouraging. Nothing else encouraging so far but it is very early.

 

[TitleTown]

Imagine that when you pressure a QB you force them to get rid of the ball quickly and not allow them tine for plays to develop.

 

[UConnMike04]

I want to see Pindell air it out here hopefully.

 

[RedStickHusky]

gotta be able to run in short
yardage

 

[Jimdish255]

Ok time for second chances.

 

[TitleTown]

I want to see Pindell air it out here hopefully.

That's not the system. You are going to get a lot of quick outs, bubble screens, slants, etc. This offense relies on getting YAC when the defense gets tired.

 

[TheDrifter75]

Don't get why it's blacked out in so many places. Here in Illinois too.
