careful about how much you talk about P4 and UConn in the same breath - it seems to be an off-limits topic after the delaware loss.

People were very skeptical of UConn joining the nascent Big East. For a number of years(no Boneyard then😁) folks cried we didn't belong there, couldn't compete. And then lo and behold we did. The trio of Perkins, Calhoun and Auriemma put the Huskies on the map. Had Perkins stayed until the fateful ACC decison, it would have no doubt gone UConns way. P2-4 has to be a topic of discussion. The ascendance of UConn Athletics, Hoops and Football too, was about the right hires. The fall of UConn football was about the wrong hires. Benedict has done a great job as an AD fighting from behind the whole way. He made a great hire with Hurley, still has Geno, and Mora has stopped the bleeding.
 


-> Ball State heads back on the road this weekend with a trip to Connecticut, coming off the program's first win of the season versus New Hampshire. Head coach Mike Uremovich, along with defensive standouts Nathan Voorhis and Alfred Chea, emphasized consistency and growth during the Cardinals' weekly presser…

… Voorhis, who began his college career at UConn, and Chea, also a Huskies transfer, discussed their ties to this weekend's opponent, and the preparation that goes into returning to their old stomping ground. "I've had this game circled for a long time," Voorhis said. "But once the season starts, you take it game by game. For me, it's about preparation and doing what I have to do to win the game." <-

I agree with you. I was told to shut up about the P4 by another fan, when I mentioned it after Delaware… so just spreading the love around. 😂
 
Was always a huge fan of Voorhis... Wish he had panned out here... He's got 3.5 sacks already this year... Should be seeing him around a backfield a little on Saturday...

-> The Huskies are averaging 40 points per game, they rank 12th in passing yards nationally, 46th in rushing and 12th in total yards, all without a fumble or an interception. But in short-yardage situations with the game on the line the Huskies have come up short in back-to-back weeks…

… There’s a lot more consistency on offense, but now we have to finish and have consistency as a team,” coach Jim Mora said Tuesday. “You’ve got to be able to get a dirty yard if you’re the running back and it’s a running play, or convert and execute a short throw and catch. It’s those little things that just get you. … You’ve just gotta keep drilling it. It’s repetition, it’s going out and it’s doing it over and over again. <-

-> Since the third quarter ended at Syracuse, the UConn defensive performance has been disheartening. The Huskies gave up touchdowns on each of Delaware’s first three possessions and allowed 512 total yards of offense. They never made a stop on three separate 4th-down chances and, again, hurt themselves with undisciplined mistakes down the stretch…

… The Huskies should have some assistance in the defensive secondary in the form of safety Malachi McLean, who was injured in the season-opener and missed the last two weeks. McLean was top 10 on the team in tackles last season with 44 and also had four passes defended. <-
