Next up is BYU at their house.
The Coogs got creamed yesterday by the Michigan Wolverines. They will be playing like angry hornets against the visiting Huskies.
Last season the young Huskies weren't able to solve the problem of the very mobile Taysom Hill.
Saturday's game will present a totally different set of circumstances.
BYU's replacement for the injured Hill is a stay in the pocket passer. He relies on 3 receivers who are 6'5" tall or better. They can play jump ball & come down with the rock over vastly undersized D-Backs.
This will be UConn's first test this season against a true pocket passer. Can the D-Line generate a consistent pass rush? Is the Husky defensive backfield up to the task of defending the power forward sized receiving corps. of BYU? What defensive schemes will be employed to ensure success for the Huskies?
On offense, can the Huskies score enough points to put a W in the won-loss column?
 
If they can overcome the time change (effectively a midnight kickoff), this will be a good measuring stick against a complete team that doesn't rely on gimmick offensive. I hope everyone comes to play and plays to their ability. If they do, a win is not out of the question.
 
Obviously we will be underdogs in this game. But the first 4 games has given me confidence we can compete with anyone on our schedule. Hoping that facing a conventional offense (no triple option), will help our defense. Our offense seems to have weapons, just need to finish drives. Weirder things have happened. Go Huskies

Just curious where you got the close to midnight kick off from?

Would be nice if they could fly out Wed night and do their walk through on Thursday in Utah.

Our D backs, Obi Melifonwu, Andrew Adams, Jhavon Williams and Jamar Summers were in lots of plays and individual tackles against the Midshipmen. They gave and took alot of hits. I am curious to know how they came out of the game injury wise?
I remember AA taking a good hit and coming up a little shaky. I saw Obi grabbing his shoulder a couple of times . As Diaco said , Navy is a brutal offense to go up against because of the constant power running and low hits. If these guys are healthy for BYU they should do well based on the Michigan BYU game.
 
They put Adams through a pretty lengthy concussion protocol on the sidelines which he must have passed since he re-entered the game.

Well, some people were also off their rocker, or just off the mark on other topics, yesterday. Good thing it's not fall back weekend, but 5 days should be enough to figure out the correct time zone difference and a starting roster with about 2 years more experience might have made a difference in East Hartford Saturday.
:rolleyes:
 
We need to win one of these 3 challenge games and by doing so the whole context of the program changes. I really thought we could beat Navy last week, but we still are firing on 4 out of 6 cylinders and cant quite climb the hill. If we can take it one more notch up, we can get it done against BYU. I think we all smell how close we are to pulling off something transformative..

They are wounded and need to be kicked when down. BLITZ the dog snot out of them the first few series. I realize Bobby wants to contain the edges but don't give them time to even think about that. Plenty of time for adjustments if they should handle it but not like they have seen film with us doing so. Not worried about the backfield holding up if we can get pressure on a qb having a hard time getting the ball off.
We are again a big under dog in their house but not without a chance if we can throw the first punch and get them on their heels. Confidence breeds success, here's hoping Bob let's the dogs loose.
A little here on their injury / personal situation. http://www.sltrib.com/sports/2997160-155/byu-football-cougs-vow-to-start
 
If we're 4th and 1 on the BYU side of the field I don't want to see any FG attempts.
 
Best thing was no injuries from Navy game. The great move by UConn was fitting every O and D linemen with special knee braces given Navy's propensity for cut blocking.

BYU football: Offense looking for fast start to get back on track vs. UConn
http://www.heraldextra.com/sports/c...aa.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

>>The senior emphasized that the offense depends on a high level of play from the offensive line, but the reality is that this Cougar o-line has an extra helping of pressure since the BYU backfield is pretty banged up and doesn't have a ton of experience to help overcome any mistakes made at the point of attack.

Cougar quarterback coach Jason Beck said the Michigan defense used its size and athleticism to collapse the pocket, putting heat on BYU freshman quarterback Tanner Mangum.

"We need him to be a little more patient at the top of his drop, hanging in there and delivering the football on time and accurately, and then only taking off and moving in the pocket when we get forced to," Beck said. "At times we were antsy and then at times legitimately things were getting squeezed down and pressure was getting to him. It's about managing that better."<<
