One thing I see in our favor is that our strength has been the running game. And that should be the type of game plan that beats FIU and UMass. It's just a matter of execution. The more physical team should win that match-up. Line up, put your hand in the dirt and impose your will on them. I think the Army game should be closer than people think too. May not be a win, but some make it sound like it's going to be a blow out. Our run defense has been the stronger part of our defensive game, which should make it tougher on Army. Will our offense show up? Who knows...
I like your take…will take a few things to happen but it’s possible….to be competitive in ALL games going forward, we need Carter back and think there is a chance we get Marion back at some point. Also, curious if Mora decides to go with TP at Qb for the final 6 games….maybe not this week but he would definitely make a difference.
Lol. Even I never thought we might get Marion back, but if we do, that really helps the team.
Have you watched the games? What makes you think that 4 or 5 wins are possible. You think that those four teams are going to lay down. Wonder what their boards think of us. Time to rethink that position. Take off the Husky colored glasses. That take is hilarious. Not happening. It's another year of two wins at best.
So are we. Need to face facts that we are not any better despite the hype of Mora. The old patience argument is growing old - 12 years later.
Go back to Oz.
Guessing Marion may get back by the BC game. Maybe UMass.
Well isn't that the same place that you are currently residing with your take of four to five wins. Let's just table that to the end of the season. Otherwise, ignore the man with the 4-5 win prediction. I'll take that action six ways till Sunday.Go back to Oz.
Agree on the facing facts part. But I think that winning two more is just as probable as winning only one more. Perhaps 33% each. Leaving zero more wins at 21% and three more at 13%.
Interesting Temple's QB is EJ Warner who we were involved with until I believe Zion signed, and sure enough he has been putting up some decent numbers - granted he is probably not down to his 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th WRs but we do have a talented RB room (still) we just need to make better use of these guys talent - maybe see what Rosa or Houston's speed will give us on a wheel route covered when by a LB.
I believe Zion signed much sooner?
I agree down the road when things improve. Might be a little early at the game speed we have faced for a frosh. That and the availability of receivers.
Just my opinion but I would replace QB with the word team. The best QB in the world cannot do anything without a surrounding cast. It's called team work for a reason. With eleven on the field all are dependent on the others for reason.
OK... With all due respect can we take a step back and look at the whole picture? No attack but what year has any UConn team had to face a schedule like this to start a season? What year had this many injuries this early?
We’re 170 in the Sagarin computer. 170. We have not performed at a level that would put us in the top half of the Ivy League.Go back to Oz.
Yeah, I keep forgetting.
There are 44 FCS programs rated better than UConn and 86 below UConn. Which means statistically UConn isn't even in the top third of FCS teams.
Yes BL but those on here predicting 4 let alone 5 wins this season are not interested in reality.
“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain”
Ball State sucks, they’re 1-3, got blown out by Tennessee 59-10, and scored its only points against the 2nd stringers. Also lost to two FBS giants Western Michigan and Georgia Southern.
…….and Ball State has????? Check out how they’ve done so far this season. Are you on drugs? I’m questioning how a man who passed the NY State Bar could possibly make such a stupid analysis.
