Pitt and Clemson they were down after 15 minutes and almost had to abandon the run to get back into the game. Turbo Richards is a good running back.

Against Pitt, they ran 24 times and passed 30 times. Against Clemson, they ran 32 times and passed 29 times. They did not abandon the run.

-> “The way we gauge success, at the end of the day it’s all about us,” said linebacker Donovan Branch, a four-year Husky. “We always have a chip (on our shoulder). That’s one thing about our team; Coach Mora keeps that chip on us. Whatever we do from the past is never good enough and it never will be good enough at the end of the day because there’s always those small, minute details that we can fix.”<-

-> “Sometimes you have to move through rather quickly in a game week so you can get into the preparation stuff, but it was just a really positive week for us,” Mora said. “We were able to go back and look at the film and see if we were ‘tendancied’ up – one of the things you want to make sure you’re doing offensively and defensively is not getting ‘tendancied,’ where another team can kind of zero in on what you’re doing in particular situations, or out of particular looks on defense or particular formations on offense. So we took a hard look at that.” <-

Some things you just can't make up but enjoy the laugh. Of course all coaches want to speak nice, nice of the up coming opponent.
Coach Bill O'Brien states " I think they should be favored this week they have more wins than us".
Preseason strength of schedule had BC @ #17 UConn @ 103. I think that kiss up is a bit of a stretch to say the least.
GO DOGS MAKE HIM A PREDICTION MAGICIAN !!!

I honestly think he's just worried about losing his job. I'm sure he knows this is a "must win game" in the minds of their fans and administration, just as I'm sure he knows we are definitely capable of beating them. But if he loses he might actually get canned, it has been nothing but bad vibes around that program for the past month.

Saying we should be favored is a nice way of paying respect to Mora and the squad while hinting that this will not be a walk in the park and they may lose.
