Game Week - UConn v. MTSU (Friday 10/22/21 @ 6p on CBSSN)

It’s probable that the reason Brewton isn’t returning punts is that the coaches aren’t nearly as smart as you, and as good as he is at returning kickoffs it has never occurred to them.

That what you wanted to hear? Seriously, what’s wrong with you? The answer that they have practices and for whatever reason Marion is better than him at returning punts didn’t occur to you? Maybe he can’t catch the ball with defenders bearing down on him. Maybe he can’t make the first guy miss before getting to full speed as good as Marion can. They are somewhat different skills.

Or he's dinged up. He has taken some hellacious hits this year.

"... Spanos said there was no change in quarterback Tyler Phommachanh’s status, still out indefinitely with a lower-leg injury. Defensive back Kaleb Anthony is in concussion protocol, and tight end Jay Rose is in COVID-19 protocol. "

I assumed he's not coming back until next year anyway.

The Covid-19 rest for Rose will probably help him. His blocking has been very weak and I wonder if that torn pec from the spring is hurting him. He's usually better than what he has shown.

[Yup!]

Brandon Niemenski ( 6’5 250 ) has done a fine job taking over for Rose. The kid is big and athletic, we have some nice pieces for the future. I also think Brenden Heatherman will be a stud for us. With Ross, Marion, Phommachanh, Durante, Mitchell, Carter, Fortin, Watts, Gourdine being young and talented, the next coach will have some pieces to get things rolling. Hopefully they continue to be Husky strong and decide to stay and not transfer.

He's gotten better but had drops in the end zone against Wyoming and Vandy that were killer.

Greatest abilities as a football player are availability, dependability and reliability. Half those players are injured.

->UConn’s defense has been searching for an identity, something it does well enough to force an opponent to be wary. It had been taking shape, and then the Huskies intercepted four passes against Yale in their first win of the season. The Huskies have eight picks in eight games, good for 30th in FBS. <-

-> “They are really good at what they do and will be a challenging defense to go against,” MTSU quarterback Chase Cunningham told reporters this week. Cunningham is completing better than 60 percent of his passes for 162 yards per game with 12 touchdowns and two interceptions. The Blue Raiders also use Bailey Hockman at quarterback, and he’s completing 62 percent of his passes for 154 yards per game and a 135.0 rating. <-

6pm on a Friday? Seriously? Why not 7 like any other sport would do?

Because CBSSN’s other televised Friday night game is Colorado State v. Utah State @ 9:30 (7:30 MT).

 

[Yup!]

One of those passes wasn’t pretty either I think he had to turn his body around and reach high at the same time to try and make the catch.

Half? Out of the 11 freshman I named only two are injured no? Injuries are going to happen we can’t escape that in football. Cam was available pretty much if not all year last year and this is Tylers first year, so this isn’t a consistent thing with these two players.

considering the year we've had, might be good that the availability of some of the talented freshman be a little less so they can reserve their redshirts....

That’s a tough one cause they’ve gained so much experience which can only help. They should be better next year and they’ll only be sophomores. Cam and Mitchell Jrs

Dont think this has been posted, MTSU did a Q & A with Dom Amore Preview: Q&A with UConn Beat Writer Dom Amore - Middle Tennessee State University Athletics (goblueraiders.com)

Liked him before. Now I REALLY like him. As a Mechanical Engineer, I am really proud that a UConn player can carry that academic load and still play at this level.
