27 - 20 Husky Dogs

Chandler's coming out party.

 

[UConnDan97]

21-17 UConn

 

[SAMCRO]

McCombs up the middle on 1st down.

 

[Chin Diesel]

7-6 Uconn.

Uconn loses the coin toss and after a McCombs run to the left for two yards on first down, Whitmer goes 6-7 and throws a 23 yard TD to Davis.
PP doesn't want to take chances on a road conference game and runs McCombs the next 72 plays.

...and after which point, Lyle feels like this lady:

24-23 Huskies Rutgers kicker hits the uprights on a chip shot as time runs out.

After the game rumors float that Tampa is about to fire Shady and the RU AD turns down Shady's plea to come back.

Shady ends up as Tom Coughlin's driver.

Sorry, some of you guys are giving us way too much credit, and some of you guys are...idk, but I see this being a 17-14 or a 20-17 game either way. This is going to be a very tough contest!

RU/Uconn games are always good, they're almost all within a score. Personally, I kind of like our chances for some reason, but I'm glad some are predicting defeat. We seem to do our best against RU as underdogs. Last year our defense played like they had rabies

 

[JayRU09]

Can we not kick it to Williams?

.....please?

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

I predict one hell of a pillow fight.

This is the battle of the immovable object (Rutgers run defense - currently ranked #1 in the country) versus the irresistible force (GDL's insistence on running Lyle McCombs right up the middle on virtually every first down). If something doesn't give and we just keep pounding our head into a wall this board may go nuclear by the end of the first two 3 & outs.

My guess is that Rutgers takes this from one or two big plays (either long passes or defensive scores) and our offense really struggles - as bad as it did against NC State. Rutgers 17 - UConn 6. All of this is of course completely null and void if Rutgers chooses to turn over the ball four times or more like they did last year.

Hate to say it, but he's probably right. At home, I think Rutgers is more likely to win by that field goal. I think UConn tends to play down and up to its competition and will be better this week.

My head says Rutgers by 10 as we have another scoring drought game like against NC State. My heart says I have to go with UConn. 14-13 UConn on an INT for touchdown.
