OC Rhett Lashlee on QB David Pindell and his demotion/promotion: “He’s handled it great. David is a solid, steady kid.”

Mike Anthony‏ @ManthonyCourant 18s 19 seconds ago
Rhett Lashlee says David Pindell much more comfortable in system, has grown as player over past 10 weeks.

Arkeel Newsome and Nate Hopkins practiced. Day to day in terms of game status.

Gavin Keefe‏ @GavinKeefe 34s 34 seconds ago
Lashlee said both Newsome and Hopkins should be ready to go on Saturday vs. UCF

Gavin Keefe‏ @GavinKeefe 28s 29 seconds ago
Lashlee; "We've got to be more opportunistic as an offense." Frustrated by inconsistencies.

UCF up 17-0 already.

Glad to see Newsome (and Hopkins) back. Newsome still not 100%, but I heard there was a possibility of him returning this week. I’d expect him to see limited duty, but his presence at least makes UCF account for him in certain situations.

38 degrees for a high in CT on Saturday. Damn.......if only.

Might knock the spread down a few points.

Orlando Sentinel: UCF QB McKenzie Milton continuing fast, impressive turnaround

 

[UConnNick]

Great, according to Ed Daigneault, it appears that Crocker talks faster than Jim Calhoun, if that's humanly possible. No wonder his defense sucks. None of the players can understand what he's saying.

I like these guys. Listening to them I just feel confident we will somehow be much better next year, even on defense where we lose the starting D-line.

They didn’t take the trophy, but we’re gonna take their undefeated season

Pindell Eager for Opportunity

>>Pindell is a diligent athlete and fully capable of leading the team to victories with all of the practice and studying that he has put in. We only got a glimpse of what he is capable of last week. “Now that he’s more comfortable he kind of knows where to go with it. He can get the ball out quick and he throws a catchable ball,” said Lashlee.<<
