Joe F Numbers

OK - I hope all this Joey love and attention doesn’t mess with his head. Trying to stay perfect is precisely how you don’t. I hope Mora’s plan is just let him grip and rip and have some fun. He’s not winning a Heisman and he needs to just play with an underdog chip on the shoulder to show the world he should be.

But unless UConn is willing to pay $1 million a year or more they will have to get “lucky” in the portal with an up and coming QB. I think QBs are the hardest position to fill.

Nah. Be opportunistic. Joe had like a 1900yd passing season at an FCS school. Don't shop where the P4 is shopping or go get a P4 castoff that never got in the field. Your sample sizes are Fagnano vs Evers and Roberson. All 3 have shown ability when they played. Roberson is starting at Buffalo. I would look to the FCS. Guys who look good on game film. I loved Fagnanos film on YouTube against BC and UMass. The kid could hit WRs in stride. Not shockingly he's doing it here as well.

He’s so even keel and cool under pressure. I don’t think it will.

We had a six year guy on the 4th floor of Hanks Hall back in the day. He was kind of the king of the floor.

Hanks was all women when I was there. He definitely would be very king-like during my day.

You make it sound so easy to find a competent QB. You should join the staff.

No one is saying it is easy, but this staff has tried 2 approaches. 3 if you count HS. I was one of the few ecstatic they got Joe in part because he played for Charlton, but he had game film against FBS schools where he actually looked good. Contrast that with how Roberson fared in his 1 game against Iowa.

Only at UConn does a school go 20 years between above average QBs. All over the MAC you got QBs that can pass the hell out of the ball, meanwhile our fanbase is worried about the 1 or 2 cold games a year that we might play in. Give me a break.

From your lips to God’s ears. It would be just a phenomenal story for him to finish the last 2 with big numbers and top rated QB.

did we just take Nick's NIL money away? lol i never thought about this, but I cannot imagine he's raking in the cash by sitting on the bench.

We walked down to field level and were chanting "Joe Fagnano " over and over. Joe was riding the stationary bike and gave us a big smile. Security told us to scram...we kept chanting until they threatened to toss us. Mora heard us.

They sure throw the ball am awful lot in Michigan.

KC is windier at all times than New England and it gets frigidly cold.

Buffalo?

The whole “you can’t pass in the cold and wind” lie needs to go away.

I often wonder if it gets cold and windy in Boise Idaho. I've never been.
 
Joe has been off the charts and I have not always been his number one fan. He made me eat crow last year and man, he’s been legit this season. In terms of getting good QBs to come here, you need two parts, the QB, and a stud WR. Bell is that stud and I’m sure we could lure many QBs here to play with him. I’m not saying Joe is only good because of Bell but having a stud WR is great recruiting for QBs. Hopefully we have someone to fill Bell’s shoes and help lure a good QB.

It’s been pretty special having Bell on this team. I don’t remember another receiver who we could rely on and changed the game like he does. He’s electric and has great hands and body control. I’m really gonna miss him next year and it was amazing we got him back this year.

Joey thread, CR thread, so much going on right now. UConn needs to strike while the iron is red hot but of course the CR gods aren't cooperating. I'll leave this for Joe.

1:19 - "Suddenly a school that hasn't been relevant since the 2,000s and hasn't played in a conference in years is on the radar of the Big 12, ACC and maybe others." Bless his heart

It's kind of crazy to me that Eget (1st in passing yards) and Scudero (1st in receiving yards) are also on the same team (SJSU.) So the leading receiver has caught passes this season from the leading passer, and the 2nd leading receiver has been catching passes from the 2nd leading passer. I wonder how often that has happened throughout the history of FBS, or if it will even hold until the end of the season.

I still agree with the meme though, Bell and Fagnano are not only a better combo stat wise (those picks and completion % from Eget tilt this one in UConn's favor) I think they're both better players.
