Didn't realize Fagnano has 2 years of eligibility left per UConn roster page.

I just assumed it was one year... will be interesting?

edit: Better question. Is the wildcat a feature or a bug of this offense? Does that change potential roles? Do we see ZT being the wildcat option to keep him happy if somebody else starts?

We don't need to keep anyone happy when everyone is set to return and we are bringing in Cole Welliver

I think Zion starts…Robertson won’t be totally healthy…not sure how good Fagnano is… he could be the dark horse… but Zion won a bunch of games for them … I think its his job to lose

Not to mention he has played against NCST. The time to start Fagnano is the next game.

I don’t have a clue which one is going to start opening night, but the thought that Zion should start not because he wins the job but because he started against them last year in a game where they blew us out from the first series is, with all due respect, more than a little bizarre.

Well he did get almost 50 yards combined passing and running in the game.

Nah, it's not. Fagnano may have a lot of snaps but none of those were against a team at NCST's level. Wanna see his confidence and poise disappear in the blink of an eyelash? Let him start the first game.

So if Fagnano wins the job you don't want to start our best QB because you don't want him to become deflated? And you'd rather concede your home opener when you have an extra two days to get ready for next week anyway?

I know you are a huge fan, but if this was your first post I'd assume you were trolling us. That really is absurd. Mora is going to play the QB that he and the staff think gives us the best chance to win. And if Fagnano or Roberson was such a freaking snowflake that they couldn't get ready for Georgia State -- Georgia State -- because they lost badly to a midlevel ACC team at home, they're not able to lead a team anyway.

Things change year over year. if Roberson comes out ahead 2 years in a row he should start even if he has a short adjustment period. I feel like he has a head for the position and it won't take long. We have possibly 4 guys in competition and the future looks very good.

Fagnano threw for 289 yards versus Boston College. And that means nothing as well.

Depends on the pass protection. Wasn't great last year. One of the reasons there was no down field threat. Will it be better this year? Dunno.

Well, good point. I guess I am assuming he is not quite 100%.

Sometimes i really think a lot of you talk about the team way more than you watch. Pass protection "wasn't great last year"? We had two of the top 15 guards in the country and only allowed 18 sacks... think we're fine there

There was no downfield threat because our starting wrs were hurt… did you not watch any of the games or when Mora/Charlton stated that ZT had to get the ball out sooner and go through his progressions quicker? Mora was quoted saying ZT had enough time.

And we allowed most of them right at the beginning of the season when the RT was coming back from a knee injury and was getting beat consistently. Once he regained confidence, the protection was damn good.

This was also despite the QB hanging onto the ball for what seemed like days back there.

I admit I don't have the eye of a scout. Even so, there were so many times last season I'm watching and thinking "You got him!" But the ball never got there.

Turner was an excellent downfield threat.

Yea and I think that was just ZT being a freshman who wasn’t adjusted to the game speed of college. Hopefully now, he is much better and the game speed of college has slowed down in his head.
