Pindell more at ease in second year at helm of UConn offense
>>If there is an area where Pindell has grown the most as a quarterback, it has been his willingness and effectiveness in throwing the deep ball. Pindell credits new offensive coordinator John Dunn for helping him understand the offense much better, resulting in more vertical throws to open receivers rather than settling for dumping the ball off to running backs.
“He trusts Coach Dunn, he trusts the offense and the reads so whenever he has a guy who can stretch the field like myself or (Tyraiq) Beals out there, he is not afraid to take the shot,” UConn sophomore receiver Keyion Dixon said. “That really helps the offense because we can get a 1-play drive and come back and do it again or get those intermediate routes to help the offense out a bit.”<<
