Randy Edsall will get UConn to a bowl game — this year (The Comeback)

[firstnline]

The way to a bowl game this year is for the offense to be unpredictable. Bobby red pants offense was way to predictable. Lashlees play calling at the spring game gave new hope and direction.

Wow- I just had a vision of an O with Edsall's trademark discipline and toughness combined with creative play calling. It made me smile.

It should make you smile even though we have yet to run a play. The sheer volume of plays that the O ran at the spring game is enough to make us all smile.

It could happen. UCF going bowling last year after 0-12 in 2015 shows the right coach and/or scheme can make an instant impact.

Coaching matters. I still believe that most of the programs in the 50-90 range have the roughly the same level of talent, and coaching makes the difference. It's possible, though, that the prior staff so depleted the talent on the roster that we're looking at a longer process.

Bobby might just as well have given every opponent his playbook before each game. There were only three plays in it. Run up the middle, run off tackle, throw an incomplete pass on a five yard pattern when you probably needed eight yards for the first down, and punt. Rinse and repeat.

Playbooks are useless when you can't remember what down it is.
