Lyle McCombs no longer part of Football Team

[Rocktheworld]

Read my posts a little further down in the thread. I've already said my last word on thos subject.

I'm sure, and I wasn't trying to start a conversation or anything; was just sayin

Or for being our 4th highest all time rusher, or for finishing up his degree, and that RW005 was just trying to "keep it classy"...

He is the 4th all-time rusher?? Wow. That is hard to believe. Not doubting you, just can't believe it!

Terry Caulley, Andre Dixon and Jordan Todman all come to mind as guys that would be ahead of LM.

It's crazy, right? I had no idea either, until I saw it listed in the paper. Here is a list for UConn that was not updated to include last year's stats:

www.totalfootballstats.com/ConnecticutHuskies.asp

He's behind Brown, Caulley, and Todman. Sadly, he would have likely ended up second if he stayed on the team (I don't think he would have caught Brown barring any "breakout" year)...

Ah, forgot about Brown. How could I?! That's crazy. Good for him. Left his mark at Uconn. Best of luck to him in the future. The Future is now for the Uconn Huskies. Looking forward to seeing what the youngsters can bring to the table for the Huskies in 2014 and beyond.

I thought Tory Taylor would be higher than he is in UConn History. This list referenced above states he only played one year (1995). In reality, Taylor had 1905 rushing yards and over 1,100 receiving yards, plus punt and kick returns. Taylor had over 5,200 net offensive yards from 1995-1998.

I was surprised by Taylor's numbers too. Good call. I couldn't find a better site, though. Some other notable corrected numbers on there:

1) Chandler Whitmer is the 4th highest yard total for QB's in UConn history (3,560), and could conceivably become the 2nd all time if he got enough time at QB this coming year (he'll need 325 yards, but he'll never catch Orlovsky at 10,706!)

2) Geremy Davis is currently 5th highest yard total for WR's (1,698), one yard behind Kashif Moore. He could easily grab the record from Mark Didio (2,507) this year if he has a "Davis" type of year again.

For all of the bad stuff that the program had over the last three years, it's amazing that we still had guys that produced numbers. That, and I miss Orlovsky...

 

[BNich]

Are these/those numbers ALL-Time all time or since becoming D-1?

All time. Didio and Taylor weren't part of the move to 1-A...

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Fairly shocked to read those all time numbers with regards to McCombs, Davis and Whitmer.

At least Davis should have a good shot at moving up the list.

The site says it's only from 1970 on. And the numbers are suspect. Matt Degennaro has less than 2,000 yards passing?

Leon Kinnard is 25th in school history with a whopping 3 yards passing. Bogus list.

Ah, that makes sense. I didn't really go through the list, just commenting on the prior posts.

I wish UConn had some more accessible stats and historical records. I believe they are in the year books but you have to download the pdf and they don't update obviously throughout the season.

It also lists our home stadium as Heinz Field with a capacity of 65k. So take the info there with a heavy grain of salt.

Or a large dollop of ketchup.

Which Dan was actually listed as our top passer of all time - Orlovsky or Marino?

Neither. It was 97.

The list that you linked from UConn doesn't have the updated numbers for McCombs and Davis. But the other numbers are in agreement with the original list. So it looks like McCombs, Davis, and Chandler are indeed that high up in the UConn all-time rankings...

 

[rw005]

I guess Heinz bought The Rent out. Nice corporate sponsorship!

However, that website, has a good amount of inaccurate data...Colonial Conference was Yankee Conference, and weren't we in the A-10 during 98? I remember we won some division trophy.

Honestly though, the media guides are a lot better.

waiting for the announcement that he is going to be playing at BC next year...

Could see him hooking up with Ambrose at Towson
