-> “I don’t know that there’s a player in our locker room or a person in our organization, or anyone on this campus, that has not been affected by cancer,” coach Jim Mora said. “It’s just an added motivation to go out and play with a certain spirit that honors those people that have had to go through the trials and tribulations in the fight against cancer. Our guys, it really means something. It’s not just, ‘Oh, hey, there’s a cool ribbon on our helmet.’ That ribbon represents someone in our life that we love, that we either lost, or is fighting or has fought and won. Our guys take it very seriously and they should, that’s why we do <-

FIU's results after 4 games. They were down only 10-0 at Penn St at halftime. They could give us a tough game. We thought Ball State was one of the worst FBS teams this season and the D couldn't put them away.

It really depends on which UConn team shows up.

Looks like they know how to put points up. I hope our D makes for a less interesting day than the last few.

Our defense can make a team look like a superbowl contender.

UConn is G5, or G6? I saw another ranking which did no include UConn and wasn't sure if they didn't consider UConn G5 or just didn't make the cut. regardless, UConn needs to get into the top 10 regularly and should move up this season

UCONN is regularly left out of these “standings” b/c we are NOT G5 or G6. We are independent and not a part of the G5/G6 category (according to the PTB). ☹️

After last season I think many UConn fans were thinking we could go on a roll but replacing 9 defensive starters and both tackles on offense is not easy. We won quite a few close games last year and that hopefully will be the case this season going forward. "We play to win the game". HCJM gave us a chance to play this week coming off a win when he used our timeouts as the Bulls went in to tie the game. A big crowd and a confident team this week that wins the game is all we can ask for.

Going to agree with Cam. Joe looked like a runner on a couple of those plays. Still need to be smart but if the field is open ahead take the 5 or 10 yards.

Please don’t turn this into another uniform thread….I beg you.

it's literally already a uniform thread - blame Jim Mora and his cancer helmets, if you dare come out against cancer awareness.

I have a gut feeling we dominate this one and win big. Let's hope!!

um…its the game week thread..not literally only about cancer awareness helmets. There is another “wear pink” thread where you can talk about the merits of the block C versus the dog or one of the other myriad of theads about what the football team wears in games.
