Reminder: Coach P didn't recruit any of these players

Absolutely. Plus a lot of those 29 passes per game, came when UConn was trailing and forced to throw the ball. The forward pass is an afterthought in a UConn game plan early in a game when the game is up for grabs. This HAS to change is the UConn offense is ever to move forward and become a legitimate D1/BCS unit the way the defense has.

We won 3 of those games, and had a lead in the 4th quarter of another game.

Sorry to inject more facts, but take a look at how we started off last season.... http://espn.go.com/ncf/playbyplay?gameId=302470130

but how many of those were over 10 yards ?

i agree there was "passing", but it was mostly HB or WR screens.

in my opinion, QB's want to THROW the ball down the field....and WR's want to catch it there.

I don't know what you've seen out there, but I haven't seen the speed, talent, or QB accuracy to be successful throwing the ball deep often.

I don't understand the logic behind thinking all we need to do to attract more talent at QB/WR is increase the amount of throwing we do, despite the very obvious evidence that we suck at it and it costs us winnable games.
