UConn is going Bowling > Wasabi Fenway Bowl v. Army (Saturday 12/27/25 @2:15 on ESPN)

Ok I have stopped following along with the bowl because the number of starters not playing has really turned me off right now. I’ll still watch and cheer them on of course, but it’s not the same, especially since we are going for ten wins which means something to the fans, but not the players obviously. I digress. How many players who are normally on the two deep or starting sitting out? No need for names, just a number, and apologies if this has been mentioned somewhere else. I’m also counting, if I’m following along well, 9 on the two deep who are also in the portal? I may be too low on that though.

3, if my memory is good. QB, LT, and RT.
Defense is all in, and hopefully, healthy.

Me too. And that also just occurred to me. As well as seeing what the QB's can do. I am mystified by Evers, though. If he is headed for the portal, why would he not play? Does he want the film from last year to be the sum total of his body of work? If so, it won't get him a step up. Or perhaps he is done with football?

Maybe he’s not one of the top 2

3 starters. (QB and 2-OL) are sitting out. The two deep is posted above, most of the portal guys are playing.

He was listed as an OR with McDonald earlier this year when both were healthy and it was McDonald who was first off the bench when Fagnano was shaken up at Delaware (Evers was first in against CCSU).

I got 1 ticket if anyone is interested, it's in RF box 5 $80, dm me if interested
 
On the Cully podcast he said Evers was practicing as the 1 for two weeks and then ghosted the team. He also said both linebackers aren’t playing and Honig so take it with a grain of salt

O.K., I’m going to assume this is accurate (because who knows at this point but why not). So if the Evers story posted above is true what an absurd thing, but assume we have McDonald and Farrah available and Smith and Neider both HS QBs if necessary. Goodness only knows. So both OTs are in fact gone, with Toriyan Johnson starting at LT. Chan slides from RG to RT and Wayburn would start at RG. Both Hansen and Honig playing at TE, so even if Juice isn’t playing, we’re fine. So other than at QB (OTHER THAN THAT Mrs. Lincoln how was the play) we should be fine — no worse than what injuries might do week to week — at QB.

So defense is another, and surprising story. The two big DL starters — Carroll-Jackson and Wright — are gone. Choute gets the start at NT, and Trent Jones, who is probably bettter than Wright anyway, starts at DE. The issue is depth. We’re playing a running team that likes long drives, so even if the absences only affect depth up front that could be a big deal. We are apparently going to go with a 3-4-4, as opposed to the 4-3-4 we played against Air Force, so Ty King gets to slide in as a second starting MLB. And with one less DB, Mal McClean is gone. But gone gone, not just not starting. Depth behind the front also loses Mills and Latu at Safety.

So bottom line — much thinner than you’d like to be, but if we get competent QB play and don’t suffer more in game injuries, we have enough to play a competitive game here. Again, having no idea what field conditions might be like after last night’s snow or who reacts better to sub freezing temperatures..
 
What the hell I thought the whole defense is playing in this game. Is this real or is this just more boneyard paranoia.

When the Henry group first came in they opened up the field to play catch on Father's Day. I got to play catch with my kids, and with my dad, and watch my dad play catch with my kids in Fenway. It was really memorable.

Yankee Fan here. For a client event, I think it was against Cleveland, I was on the Fenway field during batting practice. Awesome experience!! What a fantastic and historic venue. I also left with a little bit of what I call Bucky Dent warning track dirt/material.

Each team has a Ted Williams so that's a wash...
