Connelly has UConn a 37-14 winner:

Our inside O-line has plenty of experience. How will the tackles perform? The big question for the opener is the defense with 9 new starters. We had loads of D-line experience and depth last year. This is the group that we need to see if they can dominate.

i think we will win, but I am still not over the loss to holy cross in '21. That trauma hit hard.
so i'm always on edge about this FCS game.

FWIW, I put this (pertinent) stat chart together, for D experience purposes, especially with all the portal adds. With their most recent major PT years. (2024 stats except where noted)

Glass half-full view is that the HC loss was pivotal to get us to the better place where we are now...

Some friendly trolling from your in-state "rivals" from across the river. We really need a trophy for this game!!!!!! 😁

I wonder what the game plan looks like for Saturday. If we anticipate being dominant on the O-line, does that mean we'll see a HCRE1 style, run between the tackles offense?

Do they:

• go with providing no tape before required; or,
• get in the maximum starter snaps and experience with the playbook for a defense that for the most part has never played together in a real game situation?

yeesh.. just give students free parking. Why are we charing kids to park? Doesn't their tuition already go towards subsidizing the athletic department?
