Good read by Mike. Provides a bit more color. A lot more in the article:
-> Shortcut
-> “We’ve got to be able to run the ball with authority,” Charlton said. “That’s something we’re challenging these guys to do. And we’ve got to be efficient and explosive in the passing game. We’re not going to call it passively. We’ve got to call it aggressively. That’s in the pass game and the run game.”…
… “About two weeks ago, we came to a decision that we were going to roll with and feel really good about,” Charlton said. “Ultimately, we feel like we want to keep it in house right now and that’s our decision. I’m 100 percent with Coach on that. But we obviously have a plan. Everything we do is with intentionality. We’ve had that plan for a little while.” <-
->As important as Charlton running the show from the sideline or upstairs in a box, whatever his preference, is who will be playing quarterback and how that person will function. It’s inconvenient for fans, but unimportant to the process, that a starter has not been named. It is important, ultimately, that UConn has one quarterback who can produce. <-
-> What, specifically, does Charlton need to see from the quarterback position on Saturday?
“Just running the operation and understanding what we’re trying to get done,” he said. “A lot of it, talking strictly the passing game, is anticipation and accuracy. Ultimately, accuracy comes from anticipation, having the right feet, technique, all those things. But the quarterback has got to be able to execute all those things. In major Division I football and the NFL, they’re open for about a second and you’ve got to roll.” <-
