I like this a lot.

Should really be our only home look to be honest

 

[FillTheRent]

Very Penn State-esque, but I like it.

Gotta say the white lids look sharp.

I really want to know if the locker room at the Rent got redone too. I feel like they have folding chairs in a hallway on game day

It's the first ever meeting between UConn and Illinois, and this will be the Illini's first-ever game in New England as well.

On the Wagner telecast they mentioned like 110 years ago, so i was wondering if they played yale in the 1900s.

Close - Penn. 1925

Not for nothing but 'we were a couple of mistakes from blowing them out' was equally true of the Holy Cross game two years ago; a plus turnover game would certainly pad our too tight margin for error.

There is a ton of content out there about the game - significantly more than any AAC match-up: Preview & Picks: Illinois at UConn

Sure would be a good weekend to make some noise.

edit: Ahhh hell, who am I kidding - any weekend lately would be a good weekend to make some noise.

Ugh I like SVP and Stanford Steve and Fallica - but there is only one place the line is 22 and it’s Bovada..

I missed when they started cherry picking lines from non-playable books.

Thank you Bob Disastro for giving us dubious infamy.

Very different game. Holy Cross shredded our defense for most of the game.

Think they missed Travis Jones but...

Husky Talk with Donovan Williams - The second edition of Husky Talk features defensive lineman, Lwual Uguak. Uguak had a standout game last week with two sacks in the season opener.

Way more detailed/informative than we are used to. Nice find.

Tons of video clips and in the few posted for our D we wont look particularly explosive....ugh.

This guy did a nice job of reviewing UConn's Wagner game and had much less problem with the coaching/scheme than I did. I picked two comments he made and put them below. The 1st one I find hard to believe, could the talent be that bad at UConn? The second comment shows what he thinks of the match-up, and this is an Illinois team that lost a game late in the season last year 63-0 to Iowa. How much better can they get in one season?

"Akron fielded a better roster last week, in year 1 of a complete teardown, than UConn will this week."

"I've become incredibly over-optimistic about non-con Illinois, so I will take Illinois to cover this easily. I'll also guess Illinois has its second 60 point game in the 2000s."

Really comprehensive. I don't think they put 60 on us though (knocks on wood)
