-> Cam Edwards and Skyler Bell did just that in a 31-25 win over Ball State. The duo combined for 297 of UConn’s 388 yards of total offense and spearheaded an effort that saw the Huskies go 5-for-5 on fourth down.<-

-> College football has become so transactional, its experience so transitory and impersonal, and here you have Edwards darting into the end zone and afterward talking with such pride about what he’s doing and where he’s doing it and where he’s from.

“They don’t really respect CT people,” Edwards said. “CT players, they don't really get the shine that they should. I'm just trying to make it out of here and make CT proud. … Sky’s the limit for CT.” <-

-> There was a big CT vibe in East Hartford Saturday. Tyquan King, a linebacker out of West Haven, had eight tackles. Milford’s John Neider, the 2023 Gatorade Connecticut player of the year as a quarterback, making a circus catch and further solidified a role for himself at receiver. <-

-> “Connecticut,” much more so than “UConn” is the branding of choice around the football program. The end zones at Rentschler read “Connecticut” and “Huskies.” The full 11-letter state name is all over football facility walls in East Hartford and Storrs. Edwards said Connecticut players on the team talk about state pride quite often. <-

Difficult to criticize Sammis and the offense. He is still learning to be an OC. In my mind, he shows his OL origins a bit in his play calling. Surprising our OL not a little better.

The GOOD news is that Delaware beat FIU handily today.

O Line outside of Murawski is really small and not strong. Really limits helmet on helmet playcalling in short yardage.

It is not necessarily surprising that game by game stat leaders looks like this, but the consistency still made me chuckle. Especially with Mel Brown's possible redshirt, hard to imagine anyone else really cracking this trio for the entire year either. Needless to say, but a bit different than what past years have looked like, even last year.

-> Former linebacker Jackson Mitchell, from Ridgefield, now launching a coaching career at UConn, used to carry the title, “Mr. Connecticut” in the Huskies’ locker room. Maybe there’s a new one.

“If they want to give me that title, I wouldn’t give it to myself,” Edwards said. “Every time I go out there, I’m looking to score. I always have this chip on my shoulder, like Coach Mora says, they don’t really respect C-T people, C-T players, they don’t get the shine that they should, so I’m just trying to make it out of here, make C-T proud. … We make jokes, ‘Mr. C-T’ and stuff like that, we’re a brotherhood. Sky’s the limit for C-T players.” <-
