Update: Matt Peart healthy after knee scare

UConn offensive lineman Matt Peart received a scare early in the team’s loss to Illinois, when he fell to the turf with what appeared to be a knee injury.

But after sitting the rest of that game and rehabbing during the Huskies’ off week last week, Peart has returned to practice and says he’s back to 100 percent.

“It was a little scary,” Peart said Tuesday. “When I look back on the film, I probably could have used better football technique in the position I was in. But having said that, I came out tonight, got back with my guys and was flying around and having fun.”

With Peart back, UConn appears to be fairly healthy heading into its game against Indiana on Saturday, aside from injuries to back-up quarterback Micah Leon (out for the season after shoulder surgery) and back-up offensive lineman Stanley Hubbard, who missed the Illinois game and was replaced on this week’s participation squad by redshirt freshman Peter Rooney.

The only other change to the participation squad (a weekly list of which players might appear in the upcoming game) was the addition of safety Messiah Turner, who was removed before the game against Illinois.<<

It's on BTF1D and BTF2D which are available on Xfinity TV Go.

If they were on regular BTN, I'd subscribe for a day and DVR it. I don't think I can record or watch it on my tv. TV Go is an app feature and Comcast prevents casting from a device to the big set.

I will either search Reddit when I get home, or wait for the TCF replay post.

For those who are as digitally challenged as I, I’ll mention the specific steps I took to see which BTN stations are available via the xFinity Stream app.
Open the app (in my case via iOS),
on the left side of the screen click on the “hamburger” and select All Channels (or select TV Go which is in the LIVE TV section),
scroll down and you’ll see three BTN stations (each is noted as TVGo),
On the upper left change the date to view Saturday’s broadcast schedule,
Three BTN channels are shown for Saturday at noon and, oddly, the UCONN game will be broadcast on two of the three.
 
IU fan here. Really looking forward to Saturday's contest. As others have stated this game will be on one of the alternate BTN channels. I use Hulu live, and it shows on there. As well as direct tv and such. Id like to preview our team a little.

We may be without our starting QB who is dealing with a shoulder injury. He is young but has all the tools and talent you could want in a QB. We will probably start Peyton Ramsay , who is a tough, gritty kid. He is a good leader and locker room guy you want on your team. However, he is very limited as far as arm talent goes. He does not possess a strong arm, the entire playbook cannot be utliized with him under center. His delievery does not allow much yards after catch as it just takes too long to get to the receiver. He is very much a game manager style QB , who is also prone to at least 1 mistake per game. I doubt he would start for another BIG 10 team.

Our offensive and defensive lines have been troubling thus far this season. We have yet to establish a rushing attack even vs D2 Eastern Illinois, even with a strong stable of running backs who were seen as the strength of the team preseason. Pass blocking was fine until the OSU game, but OSU brought pressure from the edges our tackles just could not stop, Not many teams field a defensive line like Ohio State. Our defensive line has been a weak spot for many years. This year is no different. Struggle to put pressure on the QB or get a solid push, all pressure will be generated through blitzes , and we will blitz a lot.

Our strength on defense is in our secondary, a lot of speed and athleticism. A lot of youth that oozes talent. Our defenses best days will be ahead of them, IU is really set in the secondary for years to come. If Uconn puts their head down and tries to run through tackles often our backers and secondary will bounce off. We have not shown to be a very good tackling team. 20 missed tackles in the season opener vs Ball state and another 20 vs Ohio state.

Our programs are similar in the fan base loves to support the basketball program and we have a hard time filling our stadium for even top 5 matchups in football. Often times our stadium will be 3/4 full and after halftime it will be 1/4 full. The fanbase support just is not fully there. Our administration has not fully invested the time , effort, and money into our football program and so it seems fans have not either.

Vegas has this line completely wrong, if Ramsey starts there is noway this is a 28 point game. He is not a QB who generates those types of point totals. I do think we have more talent, speed, and size than Illinois, but maybe only one notch above them. I would say if we have a perfect game on both sides of the football I could see this being a 31-14 type of game. If Uconn comes out smacks us around early and gains a lead or makes us play from behind I dont know how this team will respond and the upset could be on. I will answer any questions you may have about the team, and look forward to an injury free, good football game Saturday!
 
From your description, I'm interested in your LBs tackling our TB. To paraphrase an old saying, what happens when a very resistable force runs into an easily movable object? We may find out on Saturday.

As a fan of college football (and UConn), I hope it will be a close contest with us winning. That said, Good Luck Indiana after the game...do you play Ohio State? I like the B1G. I still think the B1G goofed with RU, but that's my opinion.
 
We were Annihilated by Ohio state last weekend. Zero run game what so ever. Our lone touchdown came off a double pass gadget play. No bias but we play Ohio state every year and this is the best team I’ve seen them field. That includes their most recent national championship team. Their back ups took it to us. I believe they had 65, 4-5 star athletes. I just hope they didn’t beat our morale out of us and we can recover after that.

UConn Game Notes for Indiana

>>UCONN VS.INDIANA HISTORY Saturday’s game will be the third meeting between UConn and Indiana on the gridiron. The Huskies are 2-0 against the Hoosiers. UConn celebrated the opening of Rentschler Field on Aug. 30, 2003 with an impressive 34-10 victory against the Hoosiers behind Dan Orlovsky’s three touchdown passes. In 2006, Danny Lansanah recorded a pick-six to help the Huskies earn a 14-7 road win<<

My optimum channel guide shows Rutgers-BC on BTN at noon on Saturday. Anyone have any info on this?

Here in SC it's on BTN-1 (610-1) on DirecTV. Not sure it will actually be available but the DVR took the "record" order when I pressed the orange button. We shall see at noon on Saturday.
 
Looks like Verizon FIOS has the alt BTN feed but only in standard definition!

you want to win an election, make cable kill the wasteland that is SD and raise the speed limit to 65 everywhere that is 55 and 70 for areas that are 65 now. Two plank campaign for the people!
 
I live in Connecticut and have Cox. I just chatted with them. I told the agent that Channel 1489 BTN shows the Boston College at Rutgers game and could that be changed for Connecticut to the Indiana-UConn game. After checking, he came back and said that it was NOT showing the Boston College at Rutgers game. I told him that on my Contour guide it IS showing the Boston College at Rutgers game and could that be changed to the Indiana-UConn game for Connecticut fans. His answer was:

Yes, (my name), it will be broadcasted (Sat, Sep 21 @Indiana 11:00 AM BTN) in Connecticut.

Idk about you, but I would never trust those customer support agents from cable companies... they usually have no idea wtf they are talking about and usually just give you the answer you want to hear to get you off the phone.

This was an online chat, not the phone, but I have my doubts about the the answer, too. He asked for my zip code and then came back and said that BTN channel 1489 was not showing the BC-Rutgers game. I told him that my Contour guide was showing the BC-Rutgers game. That's when he came back and said that the UConn game will be shown in Connecticut. Will just have to wait and see.

Maybe someone else can try and see what answer they get.

Huh - fingers crossed. FWIW last weekend my channel guide said the 1pm game on CBS in lower FF County would be the Pats-Dolphins game rather than the Giants which are always on. In the end the guide was never corrected and the Giants game was aired with the wrong guide description.
 
I'll be in Arizona, so will have to figure some way to stream the game.

I think if you subscribe to the BTN with your cable subscription, you will be able to stream the UConn/Indiana game on the Fox Sports app no matter where you live.

I think so - but it wasn't clear when I went on the Fox app this morning via my Fios log in. Just wont know for sure until game time.

What is clear for me is that I will get the game on Standard Def. Seriously why we are wasting bandwidth on standard def kind of angers me (because I know legislators will keep it around another 20 years just because two old people wont buy new tvs).
