Game Week 2025: UConn v. Central Connecticut State Blue Devils (Saturday 8/30/25 @2p on WWAX/UConn+ with Audio on Varsity Network & FoxSports 97.9)

I was sounding the “play Joe F” alarm early last year.

That being said, I was encouraged by what I saw when Evers was in the game today. Nice crisp passes and it appears he’s been working in the off season.

One things if for sure, we’ll see both QBs this year.

And one other thing I liked today was the rotation at QB for a change. The old Mora would have played Joe the entire game.

I liked the approach and hope this continues as needed. We have depth at QB, let’s use it as the situations call for it.

That wasn’t a rotation. That was putting in the second string to give them a chance to play when the result had already been determined.

call it what you will but go back a year and Weliver never sees the field for more than one snap.

-> “You could go on and on,” Mora said. “MJ (Flowers), Chris Parker, Jackson Harper, Juice Vereen, those are all guys that contributed. In the past, there are times when you have certain players that you needed to have in there at certain points in the game, and you didn’t necessarily feel like the play was going to be as successful as it was drawn up to be. And now, we’ve reached a point, I believe, hopefully, that we can have different players in and not have to worry about who’s in, because we feel like there’s enough depth that those guys can go out and produce in any situation. We don’t necessarily call them backup guys, they just don’t go out with the first 11.”

On a side note, I like the new matte helmets (right pic). Look sharp.

Just watching a replay of the CCSU game I downloaded from UConn Plus and it looks like they used a $25 wireless modem to stream the signal in the stadium. Embarrassing is an understatement. I really wanted to watch this but it feels like I'm going blind.

That was a nine yard gain up the middle, exactly where the 335 is vulnerable.

Hoping in the future for more behind the scenes moments i.e. during the warm up or in the locker room. I remember the Buffalo one featuring a ton, and the administration was not crazy about it. Like everything else in the football world, no need to pass formal judgement on Week 1.
