Rosa has a nose for the end zone and that is a skill which plays itself out during the season.

Carries and rotation will solve itself once there is game film. It always does.

To my ear, Mora’s comment had the familiar sound of a Parcells/Belichick zinger. Like them, Mora knows who can take a comment as motivation rather than criticism. Far from trying to deflate Victors ego, I saw Mora’s comment as trying to support the “egos“ of Houston and Brewton. Mora knows that Victor has an excellent social media platform and is making a name for himself—not just being on watch lists—but in the eyes of the local media who are gravitating to his “celebrity”. It was his way of saying to the horde, don’t forget Houston and Brewton. They could use some media love and attention too.

Also just to defend the thread’s existence. It’s the second most posted in thread at the top of the board with 19 days left to game 1. So clearly it’s a topic people are interested in. We all thought Rosa was RB1.
NC State confused too.,.. Point Mora.

I was at the Syracuse game when Houston ran for a touchdown…i have never seen anyone run so fast…he was in the end zone before the Syracuse players could even react..

Correct but he had more carries and also has 8 more tds than the next guy which was Houston and he was a freshman. We are blessed to have this much depth in our backfield it's a great problem to have but Vic is the only one imo that is a true every down back.
Who was also plagued by injuries….

One could argue it may have worked... there were multiple articles/social media posts across the spectrum on Houston, Brewton, Rosa, Mitchell, Edwards and the RB Room depth this week.

UConn counting on strength in numbers, health at running back to jumpstart offense in 2023

That was amazing.

One thing Mora needs to do this year is keep these dudes off the kickoff return team.

We don’t need any more unnecessary injuries.

Brewton is one of the best kick returners in the country. I suspect he sees the field on KOs.
I know he’s that’ good but dang…. .If I see him go off the field limping again, going to cause me to have a coronary.

I just want to see Houston, Brewton on the field for most of the season and see what we can do!

Houston with the speed
Brewton also with the speed
Rosa with the shifts
Mitchell with the power

No matter what the order is according to coach, i love this lineup

Rumor also of the TE transfer from Michigan getting carries

Yeah and that was shown a bit in the Spring Showcase. I'm curious to see how much that gets used.

Did “we,” or did you? I certainly didn’t.
