Game Week: UConn @ Tulane (10/12/19 @ 3:45p ET on ESPNU)

I just hope the team can find the inspiration to keep the margin near 30 and avoid a 65-0 type outcome, which could happen if they play like they did against USF.
 
I’ll be at the game watching our D improve against the run. Look for ILB Gilmartin to have a big day. I’m also optimistic about our run game against their inexperienced D-line. Should be a fun time in NO with our band of road warrior Huskies.

Hope you are right but I think Tulane is a better running team than South Florida and we had a lot of problems stopping the run last week.

Inexperienced defensive line? Inexperienced at doing what? They might have the best defensive line in the conference. Patrick Johnson is a monster. Had 10.5 sacks and made all conference last year as a sophomore. The nose tackle is 330 pounds and way better than Travis Jones.

Saw Tulane 1st game, Mensah wouldn't get on the field as a running back if he was on Tulane. UConn that we have seen through game 5 will not stop Tulane running game. Tulane defense is not bad either, one of their DB's really is a shut down guy and with UConn's vanilla offense it will be a lot of 3 and out's for the offense.

If this game doesn't get HCRE2.0 on the hot seat, maybe losing by 20 plus to UMass will.
 
I wish I had a modicum of hope for this game, but I spent it all last week.

Facts. I took the over 2.5 wins. I can’t believe this team can’t scratch out 3 wins and it’s going to lose.

Putterman: Run defense key as UConn prepares for dangerous Tulane attack

Alternate link here

>>The Green Wave, which stands 4-1 on the season and 1-0 in American Athletic Conference play, ranks fifth in the nation with 283.4 rushing yards per game. Last week against Army, Tulane ran for 324 yards and five touchdowns, each scored by a different player.<<

>>Whereas some top rushing teams lean one or two big play-makers, Tulane boasts a striking diversity of ball-handlers. Six different Green Wave players have gained at least 100 yards on the ground this season, and eight have scored touchdowns. Of those eight, six average more than five yards per carry.<<
 
I think UConn will play better against the run then they did against USF due to not playing a 4-2-5 which they played all of last week. Now Tulane is a better running team but not faster than USF. I think they win but I don't they will cover though I know most experts here think they will.

I like our chances today.

Where is @CaliChic now?
 
Edsall was mad that his quarterback for throwing a pass on a read option on a second and one with less than a minute to go in the half and the ball at the 47 tells you all that you need to know about Randy. He should never have anything to do with an offense. On the third down Randy got the call he wanted which was to run Mensah into the line for a no gain.
