QB controversy/ies?

We’re 8 games in. We have enough body of work to judge the team. We beat really bad teams and lose to better quality teams.

There was a time we couldn't beat bad teams so I consider that progress.

This sounds a lot like, "we beat the teams we should," which would be a serious improvement.

The NCAA has 122 QBs ranked for passing efficiency. Fagnano is 6th. Evers is 121st.

Even taking Merrimack into consideration, pretty much all the QBs listed played a gimme game.

Maybe you stick with Evers vs GaSt because their run defense sucks (although their pass defense sucks too), but I think Mora has to give serious consideration to starting Joe @Syracuse. His game simply suits the situation much better than Evers' does. Cuse is much better defending the run than the pass. And they're at home.

This is the way. I think GA St should be Evers' last chance to show what he has. He'll have played three straight weeks. If he plays well, then you go with him again vs. Syracuse. If he struggles again, let Joe start. At that point, you can give Welliver a shot too, since he'll only have 3 games left.

I said it before, and I'll say it again: my preferred outcome is that NE gets into a rhythm vs. GA St and the entire discussion is put to bed... but that ain't UConn Football.

Yeah for sure, beating bad teams beats getting beat by bad teams. This has been a solid year for us as we climb out of a hole almost 15 years in the making.
