Message: [QUOTE="storrsroars, post: 4801138, member: 2500"] We love to talk about weaknesses at the skill positions, which are obvious, but winning starts in the trenches. Yesterday's game along with the Rice game (and at long periods in some others) showed UConn's O & D lines are quite competent against low and middle-tier FBS programs . Replacing Haynes is gonna be tough. Need a bigger body than Walker at C. As much crap as Watts has gotten here, I think we'll miss him unless HCJM gets a bruiser for an upgrade. The clock-killing 8:12 drive in 4th was a thing of beauty. Too bad the good guys hardly ever played from ahead late in games in order to use those skills. The drive where Roberson hit on 3 consecutive mid-range passes then overthrew Ross in end zone by a yard was also good to see. Granted UMass' defense wasn't all that, but it was the kind of drive that was totally unexpected in the Charlton era. Personally, I don't think we're gonna be all that much better next year unless HCJM works some portal miracles. I think it'll be tough to equal some of the guys we're losing, and I think many of the guys who are staying just aren't all that good. I hope Joly stays. I don't know what to think of the new kid Clark at RB, but was impressed at his efforts in last minute and a half. Crazy as it sounds. I think Bin-Wahib is going have a special year in 2024. [/QUOTE]
