So we have a shot.

What will be interesting is that after we get destroyed everyone will be saying we have no talent and can't recruit even though many of our players had an army offer.

DR Ratings gave us a 3.5% chance of beating Purdue and originally projected Purdue winning 42-17.

They're giving us only a 1.8% chance vs Army and predicting a 40-11 score.

Wow, just wow, but not surprised

If you don't take Army and the points, you're a fool.

Even when Army tries to slow down the game and run out the clock it's the triple option.

Globetrotters v. Wash Generals would be a more compelling match up than watching the UConn D have to figure out how to defend the Army offense.

I am not a gambling person, but I think you meant give the points. If so, I am with you on that.

 

[UCDaveD]

Lol lay the points.

PSA: Feel comfortable betting your kids college CHET account on Army to cover.

If Army is 33 point favorites, is the over/under also 33?

Who said HCRE2.0 couldn't put together a competitive roster given a half decade?

 

[gopher2]

Army has couple of 260 fullbacks. Our linebackers are under 230 and a couple are under 220. Gonna be a long day for the D. But hopefully Steven Krajewski will be even better and our receivers won't drop as many balls, which cost us a TD last Saturday. I think we put up 20 on Army. Not enough to win but just maybe enough to cover.

This game has me torn. I love UConn, but how can anyone root against Army's cadets knowing the sacrifices many will make for our country?

 

[BlueDogs]

Army is a tough squad with super motivated players. They are the exact opposite in mentality to our sad sack, low motor, no mental toughness tag football specialists.

Easy: In uniform on the gridiron I will always root for our Dogs. Outside of a football stadium I will always root for those who serve, and for the academies against anyone not called UConn.

I would not have any issue with UConn beating the crap out of any Service Academy.

Of course, that will have to wait for some future date.

If you don’t put money on army you don’t support the troops

If you bet UConn to cover, the terrorists have won?

yeah you’re rooting against the troops

 

[cullaville]

Wim or lose I hope the UCONN team and coaches stay on the field with Army as the cadets sing their alma mater as sign of respect and thanks to the cadets and all members of our armed forces past and present.

love the over under comment

 

[Greenback]

In 2014 I went to Yankee stadium and could not believe we lost that game to Army 35-21. Who could have imagined 7 years later we are 30 something point underdogs. Makes me sick

 

[JMick]

does anyone know how many times we've covered the spread under Edsall 2.0 teams?

Not many.

If we held Purdue to a field goal on their last drive of the first half, we would have beat the spread at halftime for the first time this year. Alas, they score a TD. Almost pulled it off though.

I think we have a real shot agains the Coast Guard Academy.
