I like coach lembo.
one of the few opponent press conferences i like to listen to.

he's a little too complimentary of us, perhaps, but i know it's all for the sake of maintaing good PR/networking among fellow coaches.

he says he wonders how our OC is still around, and not at a P4 yet...................... LOL.

Lembo is a good coach. He was on the shortlist for a lot of folks around here when we hired Mora if I remember right.

I wanted him when we hired Diaco. I thought he checked lots of boxes. Northeastern guy, had some success with a program that hadn’t won much. Good guy. Good coach

Anyone making the trip? Join us in the special events lot for a tailgate. Big RV with the UConn flags.

We'll be there. Will try to stop by.

-> He takes all the praise in stride, because that is the type of player he is. He is confident enough to walk on to a Division I team but humble enough to accept whatever role the program asked of him and hard-working and talented enough to make an impact.

He still loves to make plays on special teams, and has downed a punt on the 1-yard line this season.

“It is what got me the opportunities I have been getting the last few weeks so I definitely take a lot of pride in that,” Neider said. “It is what helped me earn my scholarship and what got me on the field so I will put as much effort into that as anything else.” <-

-> “You talk about a success story – a still developing success story. John Neider walked-on here as a quarterback, we move him to receiver and nobody can cover him on the scout team. Now he’s a scholarship athlete helping us win games,” Mora said. “Guys like that, they make it fun to coach.” <-

off topic but, I have struggled to like the husky head... and then i see the buffalo bull (ie. the TEMU Chicago Bull) and i'm ok with the Husky.

nothing wrong with the block "C"

nothing wrong with the block "C"

I like them both. I like the husky logo as the usual helmet and love seeing the block C as a “throwback” look.

So, it appears the coaches see players not doing their assignment. The somewhat logical conclusion is there isn't depth to put the offending player's arse on the bench and let next man up take the spot. If you have the talent on the next line of the depth chart you don't tolerate what the coaches are seeing.

Yup. Does give me some RE flashbacks…the they “just have to do their job” mantra. No Randy, they are incapable of doing the job you think they should do.

The new matte blue helmets with the block C that we wore at Cuse and Delaware are my favorites we’ve had in a long time, they really should just stick with those all year

Yah, they are really lucky helmets.

If we toss a helmet after a loss we'd run out of options pretty quickly

“We’re not pleased right now with where we are with the big throws to get down the field. We missed three on Saturday,” Mora said. “I think it’s timing and work with your receivers, understanding coverage. We’ve worked really hard to be on the same page with our quarterback and our receivers and the exactness of how a route is going to be run versus particular looks. Those guys get extra work at it each week so I think as that piles up, you’ll see us become more consistent in that area.”…

… “I’ve got to finish some throws downfield and the receivers are gonna make plays downfield for me. So that starts with me,” Fagnano said. “There’s a rhythm to it and getting a feel for the pocket, but I’ve just got to be better in that department.” <-

Parham has shown to be a great off-season pick-up. Hopefully, his intensity and play will rub off on the rest of the D.

The thing that stood out right away when Cam was shifted to offense and got into games was he always fell forward. It is a trait of many great RBs. He is solid. Not the biggest player but just has that knack. This year we have mainly handed off to him but with accurate passing he can be a factor in the pass game as well.

3 hours of tailgating? We already have them beat there.
