UConn vs Temple game thread

[BugsyCT]

30 minutes to kickoff. Been a heckuva regular season, one that's exceeded many expectations. Let's finish strong tonight and get ready to go bowling!!

24-13 UCONN, at least one defensive score.

May have been answered in another thread already but is Shirreffs playing or no?

Bryant Shirreffs among four QBs taking snaps from centers for #UConn but Shirreffs taking snaps from third-string OT Dalton Gifford

Based on throwing order looks like Bryant Shirreffs is No. 3 QB for #UConntoday

Shirreffs is now not doing anything with the quarterbacks. All Tim Boyle and Garrett Anderson.

Odd that there was no predictions thread this week. I'm liking a 24-20 win with Boyle's coming out party.

I hope that Boyle can play well and I will be rooting for him, but throwing him out there against the Temple defense is a tough ask.

Let's go Dogs!

 

[BugsyCT]

Would be surprised if we see Shirreffs play at all today, even as a backup for a few plays.

EDIT: Just heard JoeD say that BS won't play. Let's go Boyle!!

Do me a favor and post again. Maybe something a little more positive.

I love your posts and I know you're a RKG. This is your mulligan so you can gloat when we win.

Maybe we'll see a screen or two? (center screen would be nice)

Time for #DiacoAfterDark!!!

Channeling my inner-Nostical, I meant to say...

Boyle Shmoyle. We don't even a QB. In fact, we should line up with 10 guys on every snap. We'll easily score 60 points and cruise to a 80-3 win (we'll also score a few defensive and special teams TDs).

24-21. Defense holds and Boyle gets it done.

 

[Dooley]

My apologies to CBS, but the Iron Bowl just lost a household for their CT ratings.

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seeing Bryant out on the field last week there was no way I would have played him and felt the staff was doing the gamesmanship thing all week. Put up a good fight tonight is all I ask. Stick together and make plays.

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC!!!!!!!!

Noel taking snaps out of the wildcat tonight? Ehh, why not?

 

[ScottVib]

Not entirely thrilled to hear Boyle, Anderson, and Thomas all taking snaps... sounds like a recipe for more playcalling issues.

 

[Dooley]

Not even a second into this game and our first review.

 

[RedStickHusky]

reviewing a kick-off - first time for every thing

 

[whaler11]

Why would Diaco advertise that Thomas would take snaps? He's not going to take snaps - that's some silly mindgame.

 

[HuskyTx]

hey guys! Alright, lets mess up the bowl seating even more for the AAC!

 

[Jimdish255]

D looks good. Go Boyle!

 

[Dooley]

Good start on D. Let's go Boyle!

 

[RedStickHusky]

we'll see -- good stop on the first series for the D
