UConn @ Maryland Terrapins (Saturday 8/31/24 @ Noon on FS1)

[freescooter]

That is my view too. You have your quarterback and he is your quarterback. Anything else is a mess and basically means you might as well have your backup guard play the position.

You guys beat me to it, but what the hey.

 

[LetsGoUC]

Lets go Nick!!! Time to show everyone why you were a highly recurited QB.

I think he will be best QB we have had since Danny O.

Fortin at right guard as a starter is a surprise!

[How Sway?!]

It was clear as day that QB1 was always going to be Evers. Hope he shows out this Sat

Took long enough. Now this board can stop pretending the guy playing 2nd and 3rd team ever had a shot

 

[Jacks5556]

Sure hope he’s strong minded come Saturday night.

 

[CTBasketball]

As Mora says, “we’ve got our guy!”

 

[Alum86]

Please make it past the 2nd qtr. No injury.
Go Nick!

 

[Go Dogs!!]

Go UConn, go have a great game and see what happens! Would be great to get a victory! Shock the world!

If there is a week we need to do well, this is it. If we can pull a miracle and beat Maryland, it will go a long way toward our B12 membership.

No.

I remember when we talked about the game against Louisville being the play in game for the ACC. I'm not sure that winning changes anything, but I am confident that losing would be used as a justification by those people who oppose are moving to the big 12.

Maybe a 9-3 year or something and multiple years of success could mean something, but a win over a low end Big Ten team wouldn’t be it

Maybe not, but it can't hurt. Maryland was 8-5 last year, so they are not exactly low-end either. It is still Ohio ST and Michigan conference until another program like Oregon can take it from them.

A win over a B1G team does not have to be against OSU.

”great moments are born from great opportunity”

this is an opportunity to make a mini statement and shut some people up for at least a week. And I would say that should we somehow steal this one, it will lead to a solid year.

Agree with all of that. Of course, if we were to win, the narrative wouldn't be about how we are showing that we're P4 ready, the narrative would be that Maryland stinks this year.
