UConn v. Fresno State Game Notes:

[RSTuthill]

Ronnie Rivers is really good at RB, I would be surprised if they don't try to get him going early before opening up the passing game.

Great runners are gonna get their yards. But the UConn run D looks stout at this point. The gamechanger could be UConn's pass defense. Fresno's protection looks very good and with time to throw an inexperienced secondary can be easily exposed.

When i think of Fresno State i immediately think of the Big West Football conference and The California Raisin Bowl against the MAC. Anyone else?

That heat is going to be killer tomorrow hopefully the heat and time change won’t mess with the team that much. Fingers crossed that players like dj morgan Robert burns Steven Krajewski keelan Marion and Myles bell won’t be affected too much and can mentally be there for the other guys with them all having exp in nasty heat. Dj is from Cali Krajewski and Marion from south ga which is brutal in august then bell and burns from Florida are just a few guys that come from brutal climates in august. They need to be there for the guys that the heat may crack as in mentally support them and get them through that adversity. I believe game time kickoff is like 97 so the field temp will be well over 110

Our secondary must make plays, as in tackle... WRAP UP...we should be physically ready to do that now. We better be...or it's gonna be a long long day

It'd be nice to bring this CT morning breeze to the guys in a nice big package of air... humidity has finally broken it seems...here anyways

Forget the “Big West” - it was the bowl games between the PCAA and the MAC, and Toledo’s run of multiple undefeated years back in the late 60s or early 70s.

Pat Hill, their coach awhile back.

I’m also focused on whether we can create pressure. If their QB has unlimited time, the secondary can’t be expected to make all the stops on their own.

PCAA must have been before my time.

Just read they will have the dog logo on the helmet and not the Block C

That’s bad, but not surprising.

Weather: 89 at kickoff, smoke, 100 at 2pm local time. I thought they had a state of the art cooling system for the field turf.
