No spitting match intended but I would start here. :D
UConn QB Casey Cochran Leads Huskies To A 45-10 Over Memphis
Not sure how he was not the starter sooner, this kid actually made a O-line look good rather than the other way around. His quick read and release was a thing of beauty even though he only had time to throw to the first option.
Just my opinion but his injury set the program back just as much as Paul.....OK that's not possible but close...;)

Not taking anything away from Cochran, tell me how many wins did that Memphis had going into that game?
His career never got far. Just stinks.

Memphis is a football giant, what do you mean they were awful for decades and decades?

Navin, I'm not going to say your being a jerk here. :rolleyes: :) As usual here the original thread got morphed from the topic. This from Tyler changing positions to our best QB since Dan O. As for Tyler he is hell bent to do what ever HCBD wants or needs which is good for the team. As for HCBD, he is hell bent on having the new hybrid F position to which he had J Rose penciled in at. Could JR's being sick be the reason for Tyler's move? It is only speculation at this point.

As for you not taking anything away from Cochran, I think you may have somewhat due to short term memory. ;) Again no malice but we (UConn) were no shining example of D1 football early that year. Lost to the powerhouses of Towson and Buffalo.
CC had a game that had many of us seeing a bright future @ the QB position. Was Memphis Bama? Hell no, but they were a D1 opponent Casey picked apart with quick reads and releases like we had not seen in years if ever.
For those that were not there...

Most level headed persons here won't say Cochran didn't have "it"

He was the real deal. He could have been in the NFL imo, but I just think it's hard to justify ranking him anywhere, high or low, when he only played a few games.

I also have a few crazy stories since I am well connected in the CTHSFB scene. Let's just say he wasn't going to be redshirted initially....

You hurt my feelings early on a Saturday morning. You own me a beer on September 1st at The Rent.
 
The New Haven Register Blogs: Ramblings from The Runway: UConn's Parker is suspended indefinitely

As for the practice, converted quarterback Tyler Davis earned praise from Diaco and offensive coordinator Frank Verducci. Davis, who only recently made the move to tight end, saw some time with the starters in today's morning practice.

"He acts like a 1 (a starter)," Diaco said. "He conducts his business like a 1. He is a try--hard guy. He is tough and smart, energetic, great passion, communicator, leader, how are you going to have a bad play with a guy like that out there."

Here's what Verducci had to say about Davis.

"He's a very unique player at the position,' Verducci said. "The one thing he has at the position is flat out speed. I think in time he is going to be a wonderful addition."

I think if Casey's career had played out he would have been #2 since DanO no doubt. Lorenzen's time here was very positive, got it done although not your prototypical QB manner. I have no doubt Shireffs, with a solid final year to his career, can take the 3rd spot over a stockpile of "eh" QB's.

Who's the real "next" DanO is the biggest question, the hidden gem?

I'm sorry Navin but it is for sure not the first time you have had your feelings hurt. See here....

As for the beer, contact me and pre-game or half time, you got it! :D
