Storrs Central > OC Frank Giufre (well worth the listen - Twitter/articles won’t do it justice):

I like how Giufre doesn't tip his cap about anything... I find it encouraging.

I hope that when we come out the gate we're like a bunch of crazed dogs, LT style

I hope we have/play with such a chip on our shoulder, all season long, that we come real close to winning games we have no business being in after halftime..

Focus... excusion...

I've always been skeptical of the Giufre promotion from OL coach to OC. After listening to that interview I understand why. Hes just a football guy who does at least sound like he knows what hes doing.

I like seeing Mensah on the list. I think he has the potential to have a huge year for us. Last year he really showed he had good vision and can make plays.

Does he get the ~1,200 yards to become the all time leader??

If they want a dual threat qb, that makes sense that Leon and Tyler are mentioned. I see Krajewski as a dual threat- I wish he could grasp the job. I don't see Jack Zergiotis as a classic dual threat.

Also, loved the fact they have changed the offense around and updated it!

From the media availability ??

"Great defense", nobody tell Clemson so we can surprise them.

How about someone who can read the defense, find open receivers and get them the ball, audible when appropriate and keep turnovers down.

Not sure I get this "take the position" talk. What if all 5 have "IT", what will be the deciding factor, the most "IT" or actually being able to throw the ball to the good guys.

Try not to be so positive!

I'm going to say yes he does.

Coachspeak. Pay no attention to it. You can’t be the leader if you can’t make plays.

Prefer a QB separate himself based on talent and performance.

UConn football’s starting quarterback role a wide-open competition

Through the first two weeks of spring practice, UConn football’s coaching staff said there has been a high level of competition among each position group. At most spots there’s at least…

->Giufre wants the two returners to take control and hopes to see steady signs of development out of both.

“I want to see subtle individual technique differences,” Giufre said. “How are you releasing the football? How are your feet on certain plays? How are you reading coverage? Was that a bad decision on the RPO? You want to see those guys mature and take the next step and go from quarterback 105 to quarterback 205 and 305, and see if they can take it up a level each and every year. ... You’d always like to see decision-making and footwork improve, and they have.” <-

->“Whoever does the best job is going to line up when we go out to Fresno State and its 115 degrees in the desert and break the first huddle,” Giufre said. <-
