Tampa Bay Times: Strong suggests execution, not scheme, stifled Bulls

>>Houston coach Major Applewhite acknowledged his defense's objective basically was to load the box and force USF to beat the Cougars through the air. "A lot of it really was, yes, you've got to stop the run game," Applewhite said on the teleconference.

"(Darius) Tice and D'Ernest (Johnson) are great players, as is Quinton (Flowers). They run the ball well, and not to (discount) (WR Marquez) Scantling and the other guys, because...they made plays outside. "But it was really to keep everything in front of us and try to eliminate the huge, explosive plays outside and then try to tackle the run game inside."<<

No RB Nate Hopkins on depth chart this week. Looks like he's out. CB Jamar Summers listed as backup. Suspension?

Neill Ostrout‏ @NeillOstrout 4m 4 minutes ago
Kevin Mensah the starter and Jason Thompson the backup at RB this week, it seems.

Jim Fuller‏ @NHRJimFuller 4m 4 minutes ago
CB Jamar Summers now listed as a backup to Tre Bell on #UConn depth chart

UConn is 3-25 all-time against ranked teams. One win apiece for Edsall, Pasqualoni, Diaco.

Mike Anthony‏ @ManthonyCourant 2m 2 minutes ago
Edsall's only victory over a ranked team was over No. 11 USF in 2007.

Senior Day Saturday. 24 honorees. "Seniorized" guys include Jason Thompson, Brad Westmark, Dan Oak, Anthony Watkins.

Mike Anthony‏ @ManthonyCourant 15s 16 seconds ago
Jason Thompson will not play next season. He'll graduate, move on to grad school. "That kid is something special," Edsall said.

ThisIsUConnCountry‏ @MattSchonvisky
RB Jason Thompson, QB Brad Westmark, OL Dan Oak & S Anthony Watkins all being honored as seniors & will move on from #UConnFootball

Mike Anthony‏ @ManthonyCourant 39s 39 seconds ago
Beals will start over Keyion Dixon "because of his performance, he's earned that right."

Edsall says his leadership council advised him on what to do with Jamar Summers situation.

Mike Anthony‏ @ManthonyCourant 11s 11 seconds ago
Tre Bell will start over Jamar Summers. Leadership council, Edsall said, put in place "pretty harsh discipline" for Jamar to fulfill.

Neill Ostrout‏ @NeillOstrout 16s 17 seconds ago
Basically Summers will be suspended three quarters of USF game.

Gavin Keefe‏ @GavinKeefe 55s 56 seconds ago
Edsall on his leadership council: "I was proud of those guys for the way they handled it and for what they felt was necessary."

Ian Bethune‏ @Ian_Bethune 27s 27 seconds ago
#UConn HCRE: Tre Bell will start for Jamar Summers. Leadership council took care of discipline for Summers. He will not play in the first three quarters vs USF. It is a full game suspension based on missing 4th quarter vs Mizzou. Proud of leadership council on their decision

Neill Ostrout‏ @NeillOstrout 27s 27 seconds ago
RB Nate Hopkins has "bad shoulder." Edsall doesn't expect him to play.

Neill Ostrout‏ @NeillOstrout
3rd string RB is Donevin O'Reilly.

Mike Anthony‏ @ManthonyCourant 28s 29 seconds ago
Jason Thompson "set a great example not only for his position group but his unit and the entire team."

Edsall on Shirreffs' health: “Bryant’s fine. He practiced today.”

ThisIsUConnCountry‏ @MattSchonvisky 22s 23 seconds ago
Edsall on RB Ja'Kevious Vickers-"You watch players work & practice, but what I saw from effort on scout tm, O'Reilly was putting in effort."

ThisIsUConnCountry‏ @MattSchonvisky 49s 50 seconds ago
"To get culture established, we have to play the guys that give the effort, deserve it & show they want to be out there." #UConnFootball

Neill Ostrout‏ @NeillOstrout 35s 35 seconds ago
Edsall pretended at first he didn't know RB Ja'Kevious Vickers' name when asked about him. Opted for very new Husky O'Reilly as 3rd string.

"If you're being aggressive defensively to make a tackle, I won't be mad. Some of our guys were hesitant on Sat." - Edsall #UConnFootball

ThisIsUConnCountry‏ @MattSchonvisky 58s 58 seconds ago
"We work on tackling drills every day-there are some guys that are great practice players. Put them in game, not so good." #UConnFootball

Vickers is firmly in Edsall's Huskyhouse.

 

[BugsyCT]

Suddenly very thin at RB.

The problems of losing our bye week.

sounds like he probably won't be here next year unless he decides he wants to put in the effort

Don't like Edsall putting out what leadership council discussed regarding one of their own. I'm good with Edsall involving and discussing but he's the coach and needs to own the decision. Very RE 1.0ish.

He owned it - he said the final decision was his alone.

Edsall leans on UConn football leadership council in Summers suspension

RE 1.0 wouldn't tell you what time it was, wearing a watch on each arm. It's refreshing for RE 2.0 to be this open. Summers was called out by his coach AND his teammates.

No problem with that.
