We knew Boise would be brutal

I hope this was sarcasm because those numbers are very wrong. Think about it. Your average freshman comes in at 18 (sometimes 17) so he is 21 when his senior year starts. Your average redshirt senior probably wouldn’t even be 23.1 years old.

I think it is more likely that division 1 athletes are held back a year in grade school and enter college at 18 or older.

Hmmm, is that better or worse than their just leaving it on the bench?

We won't lose to URI.

I hope you're right, but I'm beginning to have grave doubts.

I have no idea whether these numbers are correct. I googled “the youngest college football teams 2018”. This information came from the first article that came up. It was a ranking of the average age of the players on each team. It’s possible that this site (Hero Sports) has an issue with certain teams or conferences.

How is BYU not the oldest?

How is BYU not the oldest?

BYU was five places behind UCONN with an average age of 23.5 years. They were younger than only Utah State and Arizona State.

We must have a couple of middle aged guys hurting the average.

Completely and thoroughly overmatched in our first 2 games. I'd say things like "team needs to stay focused and mentally tough and keep playing blah blah blah..." but this defense is not a FBS level defense. Not even close. Either need to seriously think about change in scheme and/or change in personnel. URI is about to put at least 30-something points on us and I'm not confident whatsoever in our ability to keep up.

....Never seen a team get beat so badly on both sides of the ball on every single play so consistently......

The speed of the UConn players was non-existent versus the hyper-speed of Boise State.

Our two deep is 50% freshman. That's what counts.

 

[uconnfan68]

If you google “youngest college football teams in 2018” uconn shows up as one of the oldest with an average age of 23.1. Only 8 schools have an average age of players older than 24.1. Arizona State and Arizona are the only P5 schools with older teams.

All our freshmen are 22?

There was a ton of bad technique, but i think its more of a case of being shell-shocked, overwhelmed, and the game being too fast for them than not trying.

Who is Peart’s backup? He would have been in in Q1 if I was coaching. Send a message.
