They will be wearing the husky helmet for 4 games this year. The rest will be the block C.

I like it. Is there any word on the Grey alternatives with the chrome helmets? Those were dope.

Was aimed at those who who are critical of the realists on this board. Not you.

But it does really hit you when you put both two-deeps side by side. All the Sr's and Jr's on one side, all the Fr's and So's on the other. And the realization that the other guys had a free year too. Just because they played instead of lifted and practiced without playing, doesn't mean they went backward. They went forward at least as much as UConn, maybe more with the added game experience.

Dry heat in the "valley".
We were in Sonoma and Sacramento two weeks ago and it was 104ish and not as uncomfortable as 85 with East coast humidity, but still.........in football uniforms it could tire our guys out faster.

might be the understatement of the year suggesting playing actual games, reviewing actual game film and adapting/learning from that is advantageous to practicing against fellow competitors of a 2-win team.

Red shirt sophomores are 4th year guys. Closer than many think.

What would be the difference for Fresno to prep between the 2? Just asking since I'm not sure what the difference would be other than one of them has "IT".

Maybe Van DeMark can explain it to you.

Current Fresno forecast a/o 2:15pm ET (8/26): Kickoff about 85 to approx 95 by mid-afternoon.
If so, not as stifling hot as the upper 90s forecasted for Fresno's late afternoon.
Kick it off, pull off an upset, and hop back on the plane eastbound. Go UConn!

The real benefits of the year off might not be totally felt for another season or two when guys who would’ve already graduated are still here playing - guys that were (relatively speaking) too good to redshirt but basically got one anyway.

To each their own how their body reacts to different weather conditions, but Fresno is much different than Sonoma and a bit worse than Sacramento.

And having been out there in Saturday's expected conditions, east coast 85 and summer humidity is a walk in the park.

Not disagreeing with you. Just look at the two deep. The benefit will be in 2022-2024 when these kids are RS juniors and seniors. And that will have no effect on Saturday's score.
 
Just wanted to remind all our beloved Casual Fans, the Fresno game is at 11am Pacific time, which is 2pm EST.
 
So how many passing yards do we think UConn will give up to Fresno? Seems like it could easily be in the range of 500. Doubt if Fresno will run a whole lot, at least in the first half. Your thoughts?

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.
 
I looked at some Fresno State stats from last year.

They were 5th in the country in pass yards per game at 356.3 yds. When they won the game, they passed for an average of 310 yards. When they lost the game, they passed for an average of 375 yards. Their total offense ranked 17th at 479.3 yards per game.

Fresno State was ranked 45th on 3rd down conversions and 39th on 4th down conversions.

Where there is some offensive weakness:

Ranked 124th in sacks allowed per game at 4.

Ranked 111th in tackles for loss per game at 7.5.

Ranked 106th in rushing offense at 123 yards per game and 3.4 yards per carry.


On defense, here are some stats:

Ranked 85th in total defense at 430 yards per game.

Ranked 106th in rushing defense at 212 yards per game, 5.22 yards per carry.

Ranked 46th in passing defense at 218 yards per game.

Ranked 118th in 3rd down conversion defense.

Ranked 67th in 4th down conversion offense.

Ranked 3rd in sacks and ranked 17th in tackles for loss. (Seems odd to me. The defense looks weak against the run, but had sacks and tackles for loss.)
 
@Adam Giardino Harden Up Mate, you won't be on the field playing and the air conditioned press box should be reasonably comfortable.
