Getting Rosa back just gives Evers another weapon to depend on. He catchbes the ball well out of the backfield
Hope so

Ask Fagnano about how he catches the ball out of the backfield.
You mean that horribly placed ball by Joe?

When it’s not thrown at his back? Just fine
Victor has never fumbled in his 3 years at UConn, just saying. His ability to break tackles, his balance after getting hit, and his nose for daylight are the best on the team. Yes, I know he is 3 on someone’s depth chart.
He is very adept at running into his blockers instead of going through the hole. Not sure what games you are watching.

Cam Edwards is very talented. Rosa should be behind him but that’s about it. He should be touching the ball a lot. We’ve got to have someone touching ball besides Bell and Edwards.

That’s just not true.
Agreed. Rosa just needs to stay healthy…poor kid always seems to be dinged up.
I checked on ESPN for Victor Rosa UConn football stats for years 2022, 2023, and 2024……Fumbles and Fumbles lost, both columns were all zeros for all games for 22, 23 and 24.

I suppose ESPN could be wrong and you’re right.

I'd like to see Rosa in the slot a couple times a game with Cam in the backfield. That could really open up some plays both for the RB and WR

He is a good back when healthy but he isn’t superior to Edwards. I doubt he is better than Robinson though it could be. He had a good freshman year but last year didn’t seem to see holes very well. And I thought he was almost like a quarterback who locks onto a receiver. He seemed to “lock onto” a hole regardless of whether there was a 300 pound DT there or not. He was more free flowing as a freshman.

On the ESPN site, they show fumbles on the game by game player stats.I checked on ESPN for Victor Rosa UConn football stats for years 2022, 2023, and 2024……Fumbles and Fumbles lost, both columns were all zeros for all games for 22, 23 and 24.

ESPN just puts what UConn tracks in the game stats grid. UConn doesn’t track the individual fumbles there (they aren’t in the grid from their sports stats software). If you dig through each game book you’ll find them in text at the bottom.I suppose ESPN could be wrong and you’re right.
2024: 0-0
2023: 2-2 (USF, JMU)
2022: 4-2 (Michigan (2, 1 not lost), Ball St., Army (not lost))
Total 6-4, IIRC several his freshman year were the result of trying to do too much, rather than getting down trying to make the spectacular play (that likely would’ve worked the prior year as a HS Sr.)
He’s a tremendous athlete and a homegrown player so none of that debate takes away from a reasonable thought that he can and will contribute further to the teams success.

I have been saying for 3 years that I think Victor's skillset may be best leveraged as a slot receiver. Now that the backfield depth looks deep enough, I would love to see this tried. Quick pop to him so he can burst for 3-5 yards before a tackler gets to him where he can bounce off that first tackler for even more YAC.
Can't trust the world wide leader. He definitely fumbled when he hurt his ankle last yr.I checked on ESPN for Victor Rosa UConn football stats for years 2022, 2023, and 2024……Fumbles and Fumbles lost, both columns were all zeros for all games for 22, 23 and 24.

They show it by year also. They show 2022, 2023, and 2024 zero fumbles.
I guess so. So much for ESPN being accurate.
Any creativity by Sammis with regards to Rosa useage has been impaired by his injury. He is the best candidate for altering his role to get more talent on the field, and opening up the offense. Many folks see that here, lets see if Sammis can see it as well, lets hope.
