All sorts of hints Beaudry is the starter. Edsall mentioning Krajewski getting better but needs to be quicker with his decisions.. Blew me away hearing Edsall saying Krajewski can be too much of a perfectionist and a QB has to be willing to be aggressive and make mistakes.

>>For now at least, Beaudry looks like the front-runner for the starting quarterback job, leaving redshirt freshman Steven Krajewski to practice with the second-team. Edsall praised Krajewski’s work ethic Thursday and said increased reps have helped the young quarterback but said there was noticeable room to improve.
“He’s got to cut down on the mistakes he was making early," Edsall said. "Steven’s biggest problem is he tries to be perfect. And you can’t be perfect being a quarterback. He’s just got to be able to get rid of the ball a little bit quicker and make some quicker decisions. And you can see he’s getting better at that.”
Freshman Jack Zergiotis took third-team reps again Thursday, signalling that North Carolina State transfer Micah Leon might be the odd-man out of the quarterback competition. UConn coaches have not indicated when they hope to decide on, or announce, a starter.<<

Interesting. Originally thought Leon was 3rd. Then 2nd based on recent comments. Now 4th. LOL.

Bristol Press: Scuffle during practice may not be a bad thing for UConn football
>>The notion that familiarity breeds contempt is older than the game of football. But the idea of a UConn football team policing itself in some way is a rather new concept.
UConn coach Randy Edsall has been wondering aloud about the lack of leadership on his team almost since his return to the job two seasons ago. However the veteran coach is starting to see signs that his current team is starting to get it.
Those signs came Thursday afternoon in the form of a little fight during practice.
The scuffle, though it was rather minor and ended quickly, is somewhat typical of training camps around the country. But this particular one wasn’t because of any cheap shot or extreme aggression.
Edsall says it was perhaps because of a lack of aggression.
“It wasn’t anything personal but I think the kids felt like somebody wasn’t competing as hard as they should,” Edsall said after what was practice No. 8 for his team in the preseason. “If you give your best effort and get beat, that’s one thing. But if you’re not competing as hard as you should, they’re into holding people accountable, which is a great sign to see from a coaching standpoint.”<<

All these kids are impressive. Well spoken, thoughtful, and enthusiastic. They seem to have all bought in to what Edsall is selling and really seem to like the new coaches.
