Cochran should be the starting QB from this point forward, and when it is first and goal, can we please put DeLorenzo in as running back. (disclaimer I am from Berlin, CT)

No disclaimer needed.

Casey played a terrific game today

True he did, Can we start the 2014 season 2-0?? (with the wins over Temple and RU)

 

[Tommyboy]

Good lord secondary just knock it down!!

 

[upstater]

Stop trying to intercept the ball!

Stop trying to intercept the ball!

except for that one.

 

[Oxford Bob]

nice play by Mack to undercut that for the pick

 

[uconnbaseball]

Offense actually has hope next year, though there is still a LONG way to go and Rutgers sucks. Maybe next year won't be that brutal.

 

[Durks07]

Back to the sewage dumps and Pine Barrens boys! Enjoy the trip home.

Problem is we lose Davis. He is very good.

Quick bullets, just happy to win.
- Casey looked much more comfortable
- Oline actually acquitted itself nicely
- Looked like a D1 offense for the first time this season
- Not ready to annoint CC, because it's one game against perennially underachieving Rutgers
- Our WR are the best position group on the team, and it's not close. Kudos to TJ.
- Like Max a lot at RB, but don't see him as a 20-25 carry guy, but if the passing game improves he will keep teams honest.
- TJ will not be our coach and the last TD drive with 1st and 4 to score, he kept Lyle out there for three downs and I don't want any coach who thinks that was even an option. Lemelle bailed him out, big time.
- Out secondary is horrible, cut down by injuries sure, but horrible. Meli needs a better head and Clark was beaten like a rented mule.
- Our DT's are our second best position group.
- Willman has improved as a pass rusher this year

Our D was some of the best when RE was here, but I think PP ignored it. I think, if we get some good coaches, we might win the AAC next year. Of course, that would not be that hard...since the AAC sucks...

 

[HuskyDogArt]

First, the UConn guy was pushed near him, and second, he faked it.

The award for the best acting job goes to the RUTGERS PUNTER...

 

[stephen Henry]

Go UCONN. Great win, the defense showed up and the Offensive line was as good as it can be. Cochran can throw.

 

[Montaleno]

we found our QB!!

 

[jbdphi]

O line had their best game of the year by far. Rutgers had two WR playing DB so while CC had a very good day it was against one of the worst passing defence teams in the country.

 

[stephen Henry]

Slowly but surely, the stain of the PP and GDL era is going away. They taught a winning program how to lose and often how to lose big. I am not advocating TJ Weist, since we don't know the coaches who are interested, but taking a comatose 0-9 team two 2 consecutive wins is remarkable.

 

[SubbaBub]

Secondary play relies on what's between the earholes. They may or may not get it, but it's clear a new coach wouldn't hurt.

 

[stephen Henry]

It was against one of the worst passing defenses in the country, but I doubt that Whitmer or Boyle could have done better. Cochran seems to improve every game. He sees the field better and gets rid of the ball faster. The OLine seems to be reponding. It gets a lot easier for the OLine, when the QB can make quick decisions, and not throw to the opposing team when under pressure. That throw by Cochran when he threw the ball away when no one was open show

Sorry, instead of 'That throw by Cochran when he threw the ball away when no one was open showed he can thing quickly',
I meant 'think quickly'. It was the beer talking

It was against one of the worst pass defenses, but Cochran threw more accurately than I have seen a quarterback throw at UCONN for years. He made good quick decisions and was able to step up in the pocket. There was an awful lot to to like, even though he was playing against a weak pass defense. If he plays well against Memphis I think he should start next year.

While Rutgers has the 2nd worst defense in the country, I like the fact that CC was on the money all day. He has got it going on.

Kuddos to the WR's as well....they caught 'em if they could touch 'em.

 

[Confident Carl]

It's surprising to see a UConn QB complete multiple passes for over 10 yards in a game. I like it, it's just been a while since we've seen it.

Amazing what happens when the O line blocks. Thanks to coach Foley!

BTT want to see McCombs thread go bye bye
