The coaches have a lot of positives to them ... if only GDL could install a simple but dynamic offensive system and practice it consistently, I think we'd have a ton of reasons to look to the future with excitement.

No offense meant (as he's Terry Caulley size), but when is UConn going to get an RB commit from a player in the 6' 2" 225 lb. range?

With all due respect guys - I can give two hoots about the size of the back - I'm more concerned about the size, footspeed, and nastiness of the o-line he needs to run behind.

BTW - we did get a commit from a 6-2 230lb FB!

now i ask, wtf happened in 2009 that we all of a sudden dove of a cliff rb wise? we were a run team back then under RE. so how did we manage to not do so well on the trail? dont get me wrong, im not ripping any of the players but not 1 other offer from 2010-12? .

To me that was always the greatest mystery of the RE era. I can understand why we had a hard time getting good QBs and WRs, but we were averaging 2000 yards of running offense, how were we not a top destination for top RBs? Oh well, it's water under the bridge.

This offense desperately needs speed. Looks like Josh brings alot of it.

Can't believe people still nit pick about size of a rb. Crazy.

Welcome to UCONN Josh!!!

He left the game in the fourth quarter just 10 yards shy of the South Hampton Roads record. Norview's Wayne Bacon had 427 rushing yards in 1994.
 
How #$K can someone possibly average 20 yards per carry with more than two or three carries?

The kid brings the lunch pail to work everyday. He carries the rock hard. He bounces off tacklers and picks up yards on every run. Cant wait to see him as the primary ball carrier. He seems like a beast.
 
Looking forward to this kid coming in and bringing stiff comp to the kids ahead of him... We CANNOT go into next season with one back, albeit at 5'8 166lbs... unacceptable...

We can't go into next season with an OC who plays one back, albeit at 7'6 347 lbs.
