I don't know. Alot of this stuf isnt going to fly against a WVU. We arn't going to be beating bigger fast teams to the outside like this. Mccumings is decent but he's no Pat White.

Of course, but these are live reps against another team giving its all. This is a great experience for these QBs, IMO. Builds confidence, lets them run a number of different plays, gets a lot of players on the field...

of course there is value in a game like this.

but we've run the ball 25 times and thrown it like 9. we're winning and doing what we're supposed to do, i just don't see how anyone can draw any conclusions from what we're seeing offensively.

OK, that's fair. I am not drawing any conclusions based on this, but it's better than a designed scrimmage.
 
haha, I think I hear a couple Fordham fans booing on that botched 4th down.
 
Here's where we would see DJ if he were healthy, I guess
 
So, keeping track, Hinckley went to Obama's HS, Nebrich went to Mia Hamm's HS and McCummings went to Flutie's HS. Any others that I've missed?

Tebucky Jones Jr went to Tebucky Jones Sr.'s HS, right?
 
I'm not complaining, but I kinda wanted to see 3 straight throws on that possession. We know we can run it in on Fordham, so I would have liked to see Mac hit somebody in the endzone. Maybe Coach P is holding off for down the road, but just my two cents.
 
Saved a TD right there
 
Two UConn defenders cancelling on that play... nice job by Blidi W-W
 
I'll start this tangent. ESPN3 sucks.
On my screen I have five bars for video quality. Every time I go above two bars the screen freezes and I have to exit out and restart the feed.

Third down... pretend it's WVU or USF and get mentally ready to stop em!

I have experienced any issues with freezing whatsoever. The picture isn't great, but I am blaming that on SNY, rather than ESPN3. I've watched other games on ESPN3 that are almost HDTV

I haven't had any issues all game...

It's probably the wireless signal strength, it's just ironic that a good video quality strength freezes the screen. I'm dedending on a Madden 1995 quality game in order to watch the game.

Chin, I've had that happen on my PC. Watching now on my parent's Mac, it is staying low quality, not freezing as much but during commercial breaks sometimes I have to reload.
 
Feeds fine with me on a Mac... do you guys have the latest version of Silverlight? (I think ESPN uses it)

I always try and watch on a hard connection to the router. That said, certain devices (like XBox 360) have wireless boosters built in that help greatly.
 
I can barely makeout numbers, but it looks like Jimmy Bennett is getting a lot of snaps at LT and Mike Ryan is playing RT.
 
.-.
The thing that makes it a bit hard to judge the QB's is the ammount of pressure from the opposing defense... how will JMac or MN fare against a higher quality defense that gets in the QB's face and is able to pursue from the blind side?
 
Johnny should have hit that first pass there. Took way tolong to get it to the reciever who was wide open.
 
Teerible technique, advantage should be with the FB too, lower center of gravity and usually more Strength /size!

I think that he's thinking about catchability a lot. More reps takes care of that.
 
great to see them try to throw the ball on that drive rather than 5 yard at a time running.
more reps will only help confidence and getting comfortable back there
