Three Things I want to See Tommorrow

Impishness.

... which is also the same team which lost to Yale last year and beat us. So I'll just take a win.

If we are worried about being last year's UConn team, this year is already a failure.

If we are worried about being last year's UConn team, this year is already a failure.

Given it is 2015 ... and we did have last year ... let's just go for a good solid played game that WE WIN. I want to see lots better play; but, I think the progression and the confidence builds just with getting a WIN.

If /when we are going to get blocked drive the blocker into into the runner.

If I could point to something from last week that I really want to see improve (outside of the unsportsmanlike calls), it is the run game.

Ron Johnson carried 23 of the 26 carries by running backs, and he averaged only 3.0 ypc and 69 yards total against a 1-AA team, albeit an extremely good 1-AA team.

Tomorrow, we are going up against a team that has a starting nose guard who weighs a paltry 264 lbs in their 3-4 alignment, accompanied by ends who weigh in between 235 and 250. If we can't find a way to run it down their throats all day, then we will have revealed a very large problem in our offense. Running the ball effectively is what is going to allow us to do things like hit the screen passes to Newsome in space, or Myers on the 10 - 15 yard routes, or Noel Thomas for large gains. It's the key.

Get the W first. But if I get to ask for two things, give me the run game...

 

[Skiblets]

1. Jim Delaney
2. Stars and Stripes on our helmets
3. A Code Red on their QB. Because last year nobody authorized the code red on Santiago

Gravy or sauce?

Wrong board. The last thing we need here is someone postulating about Pizza, Beer or Whisky. Before you know it there will be criticism that we are padding our post stats with non-football topics.

1. D must blow up Army's first down run (it'll always be a run).
2. Linebackers must get up field and make the tackle. No chasing sideline to sideline.
3. Army D can't physically compete straight up. They'll put 8 in the box and when they do UConn's offense must take advantage. Sherriff's decision making ability will the key in attacking whatever Army gives up.

 

[jdb50]

Last year Varga for Yale was too much for Army. So #3 Ron Johnson, I am looking at you for a big day. No excuses, the O-line must dominate.
An accurate, aggressive passing attack. Thomas is a big weapon, find him. Same for the TE's.
Make the QB pitch and then hit him hard.

Gravy or sauce?

Icing

 

[gopher2]

1. A clinic on how to stop the option instead of last year's 60 minute demonstration on how not to stop it
2. No drive killing penalties by the offense
3. No missed extra points

 

[Nostical]

I just want 2-0. Anything else is gravy.

Get ready to slurp up the gravy. We'll score close to 40 and win this game big. Too many skeptics on this board.

 

[ctchamps]

First time I've been excited and looking forward to a game in two years. I want to keep that excitement going. Just winning gets me half way there. Building on what I saw last week is the other half.

The CBS Sports sideline reporter will do. Smoking hot redhead in tight black pants.

See Melinfonwu's breakdown on the TD pass. So tempting to go for the pick but it's the wrong play.

Interestingly, Diaco said he had no problem with it during the post game on 1080.

Still think it's the wrong use of the word (playful/mischievous) but I agree with what you are trying to say.
