Will UConn Win More Than 3 in 2018??

[uconnric]

People are way overconfident about the UMass game. They might beat us by 2 TD’s.

You're selling us short here and Whaler hasn't even chimed in yet. We'll be better than UMass.

UMass returns three top offensive seniors: QB (2924 Yards, 22 TDs, 4 Int), RB (982 yards, 9 TDs), and WR (65 rec, 1020 yards, 10 TDs). UMass' offense will be very experienced, but their defense won't be. I don't think we will be favored in the game.

SMU..Lashlee will kick our ass up and down the field

 

[Afroabe224]

We have played to the level of our week 1 opponent 5 straight seasons. Here's hoping we can continue the trend this year!

 

[Milo65]

I can't find two wins on this schedule. 1 Win...This is my reverse mojo, since I predicted 7 last year and 8 the year prior. Reverse Mojo...1 win

Well said. But maybe not.

I shudder to think what Boise might do to us on that blue field.

Trust me. I wish whaler and I were wrong more often and people like you were right even 10% of the time.

UMass is better than UConn right this second.

We do this whole exercise every year.

Vegas says 3.5 wins? No way?!?!?!

10 losses later....

They would be favored in one game right now. Rhode Island.

I don’t think people appreciate just how historically bad the defense may be.

This is easily the worst roster they have had since 2000.

 

[BlueDogs]

Highly unlikely. 2 is more probable than 4 or 5. The D is a mess. The O is another restart.

We are all in for the trip to Boise for the smurf turf classic. Expect a miracle!

 

[huskysupporter]

No.

 

[CTMike]

In the history of these over/under threads... the over has NEVER panned out.

 

[nycscooby]

I don"t see more than two wins right now. D is complete mystery with all the youth, really worried about LBs. O has to take step back with no Lashlee.

I’d honestly like to hear why you think we will be better than UMASS.

2015 is the only time in recent memory. Sdhusky had a solid 9 month run telling me what an idiot I was because I thought Diaco was a loser. Those were good times.

I used to hammer the over in these threads like a big blue glassed dope.

 

[DoctorWho85]

14-0 wins smashing Lashlee and SMU twice, once on the regular season and once in the AAC Champ.

 

[weyuo]

Yes. Team over all will be better than last year. Just cause Lashlee left doesn't mean a more seasoned offense will take a step back.

 

[Pudge]

Simple yes or no question. You may also post your level of confidence in your answer. My answer is yes, but not confident.

Simply don't understand this guys black cloud in all things UConn Sports.

WE have a very tough schedule; but 3 should be easy. 7 is near impossible - MIRACLE in East Hartford

 

[Excalibur]

This is easily the worst roster they have had since 2000.

This is probably right. The 5th and 4th year guys are from the god awful 2014 and 2015 Diaco classes. 2016 class had some players but only 16 commits. So most of our best players will be in their first or second year in the program.

 

[RSTuthill]

Not sure where this is coming from. Thought I said YES. Maybe it was that low confidence in the prediction thing. Yeah, that's gotta be it.

Judging by the responses above, I would say that the expected value is 3 wins and that is where the O/U should be set. Maybe 3.5 is a little high.

Gee golly I wonder why anyone would have a negative outlook on all things UConn sports right now given the current state of our Men’s BB and football programs (the only ones that really matter).

 

[crazyUCfan23]

I am going to be cautiously optimistic and say we get 4 wins with reaching 6 a DISTANT possibility. Should definitely beat URI, hopeful we can beat UMass then hopefully win 2 out of 3 between Cincy, Temple, Tulsa. Other than that, its a crapshoot.

 

[J187Money]

Predict at least 6 wins as I do every year regardless of the reality we are facing.
