What channel is NESN down here in Fairfield County?

Out of the 28 starters, ( 6 Special Teamers), there are only 2 Seniors. With a solid recruiting class, (if we can keep them together), the new coach has talent, and, I believe, a new confident attitude to work with. The sun is finally showing itself through the clouds. Now..., DB has to pick the right coach.

Said coach has to also pick UConn.

Would like to see Hayden Kerr win the punting job so McFadden can focus solely on kicking.

While most of Fairfield County is Comcast, if any viewers have Cox Cable, NESN is 1032 & NESN+ is 1147.
I DO know that on Comcast systems NESN Channels are an add od like HBO, Showtime & Starz networks (relatives have Comcast in Beacon Falls & Oxford-Seymour system)

I am happiest to see Fortin back at C.

Nothing personal against Walker. Hope he gets and education and is a good teammate. Don't want him on the playing field.

Wait... the link shows Krajewski and not Tyler Phommachanh as the starter:

They changed it after announcing that they got the test results (20 seconds into press conference) and that Phommachanh was out indefinitely. (See post -#13).

Overall Statistics through 6 games

The stat sheet shows Steven Krajewski played in five games. Obviously they are counting the two games he went in to hold for McFadden. Is that the rule to count a game for a player if he doesn’t play his position? Since that lowers his stats does that also lower his QBR? So, if a WR goes in and just plays on special teams does that lower his average yards per catch? Thanks, any info would be helpful.

No conspiracy on behalf of the staff. Games played has no impact/bearing on QBR.

In NCAA Football, passer rating is calculated as follows:

NCAA Passer Rating = ((8.4 x Passing Yards) + (330 x Touchdown Passes) + (100 x Number of Completions) – (200 x Interceptions)) ÷ Passing Attempts

Thanks for the formula. I never mention a conspiracy (at least not on this post) lol. However it does affect his/team passing and rushing yards per game. Let’s get the win on Saturday. Go Huskies.

Anyone know if either Flo or NESN+ have a free trial for those of us out of market that don’t want to have to pay to watch? Looked briefly but didn’t see anything.

And Leon has now disappeared. Did we ever get anything definitive on him?

 

[businesslawyer]

Maybe if we were trying to compete for 60 minutes instead of 48 we would have won the last two games.

To be honest I haven’t been impressed with a single of Kerr’s punts. McFadden should
be the only punter. He’s got a hell of a leg.

From what I can gather, seems like they are trying to red shirt Houston and Harris. Saw a lot of them early on but nothing since and both have played 4 games or less.

CBS Sports: Winless UMass and UConn set for epic game in The Bottom 25

"Somebody will finally win this week in the The Bottom 25 Game of the Century of the Week of the Millennium..."

Kerr is only being used for the short/coffin corner punts.. so it's not a "true" comparison where he's being given the opportunity to just let it go... that said the reason you do that is normally that one guy has the better hang-time and does a better job placing the ball where it needs to be (I.E. is a better directional kicker) while the other guy has the better leg.

On opening day Kerr was taking all punts, and he got no distance on anything. Since then, he only takes the pooch punts.
