OfficIal UCONN vs Army prediction thread

[uconnric]

35 - 14 Huskies. We should be able to put up some points against them.

 

[CTBasketball]

I think its a shoot-out. We have a little trouble stopping the option early, but adjust at halftime.

47 - 37 UConn.

 

[Brochacho]

I love the Army fight song, so I really hope a lot of points are scored. However, I think it ends up 27-14 for UConn.

 

[RegisteredUconn]

I just don't understand.

Usually, I could predict UConn winning by two touchdowns, and that would be enough to show my unmatched belief in this team. But this friggin thread has blown up with confidence an optimism not seen here in a great many years. Well, alright. Okay, then. Here's my prediction:

UConn 74 - Army 3

I was thinking right along those line. Army gets a short field, kicks the FG which hits the upright, bounces off the crossbar, hits the other upright, back to the crossbar for a double dribble, and drops through. Otherwise its a shut out. Could also be a tad tighter.

I think 35-14 is about right. We have better player than Army simple as that.

 

[SubbaBub]

Last years game and this years game will be all about getting off the field on defense. We scored on most of our possessions, but so did they and there weren't many on either side.

 

[JMick]

14-10 going into the half, 31-17 UCONN to finish. Defense or special teams come up with a TD. We have 150 total yards on the ground and 250 in the air.

 

[NYUConn]

35-21 Huskies.

2-0 never felt so good.

 

[jdb50]

34-17 Huskies. I think we could score more but that depends on getting Army off the field.

 

[sub legacy]

UConn 27, Army 16.

 

[TheDoggPound]

Well I predicted 23-16 in the opener and it was 20-15. So everyone should listen up.....It's going to be 31-14 UCONN. That is all.

So the score will end up 28-13 UCONN

 

[Dove]

Tommy Awesome gets another TD

Army men in awe of our Johson.

Shirreffs trump Generals.

 

[tduconn]

We still can't stop BIG plays of third and long with traditional college offenses.......something you think we'd be good at.....by now. Nor can we stop mobile, scrambling QB's.

That being said, you really can't practice against a triple option when your team isn't versed in replicating that type of offense. Especially if none of your players experienced that type of offensive scheme in high school. We don't recruit triple option players. And you don't learn it in a week.

Because of schemes the team is not familiar with, this may be a tougher game than Villanova. Army will score....just hope UConn's offense will score more and keep Army off the field.

Another close game.

 

[TRest]

31-20 UConn.

 

[MuchoDogYears]

UConn hasn't proven yet that they can stop the triple option. Until they do I have to believe this will be a shootout that UConn wins in the end. 33-27.

This game will be very revealing as to whether the Navy game is winnable or not. If this game is close, then the odds of beating Navy aren't good.

 

[blue93]

34-14 UConn... 32k+ in attendance

 

[mets1090]

I think UConn 31-17. I think the defense controls most of the game even better than that but there will be at least one drive where they get gashed for big yards and a seemingly easy TD.

 

[amory]

I dunno about this game, I was more confident against Villanova than I am for Army, the option made us look like a high school team last time out.

If we win, I think it's a fairly high scoring game and close. Maybe 27-24 UConn.

 

[sportsart]

If this tweet is the case for our game I expect to see a moderately easy win (whatever the hell that means).

[tduconn]

I hope Army's upper classmen that didn't dress are "triple optioning" the Afghanistan Taliban right off the earth

 

[PPKChamp]

I felt better about Villanova then I do against Army. Army does not have much of a kicking game so they tend to go on 4th down a lot. I think we play good defense, but although we move the ball well, we don't finish all of our drives. We will finish enough to win but I don't see us getting 70+...

23-14 UConn

PS - it does not matter if you win by 1 or 100 either way it is one in the win column.

 

[ninety-nine]

I think UConn will do a better job this week not giving up ridiculous third-down-and-long conversions, which will give them more opportunities to start in good field position. I like them to hit 30 points, again focusing on hitting the tight ends in the passing game. Johnson looked very good against Nova, and as long as the Huskies keep the defense honest, he should find some nice holes. Army will make a few big plays, but I think UConn wins comfortably. I'll say 33-19.

No reason to expect anything different. 76 plebes on the 145-man Army roster.

 

[J187Money]

So nice opening my ESPN app this morning and seeing UCONN favored. Has been a while.

 

[businesslawyer]

We will win. Don't care about the score. Nice to not be worried about it. We will just handle our business.

Against "Nova, all that mattered was getting the W. I'm not going to judge our D this game, because it is an option team, but on offense I want to see more yards gained to go along with the limiting of mistakes and finishing of drives we saw last week. I don't want this game not to be decided until the end. This week I want to see a comfortable victory against a team that I don't think would give 'Nova a game on a neutral field.
