........UConn football: A long way to go
We'll probably find out more about BYU next week vs. Texas than anything the Huskies tested them with.
Some of John Silver's recap:
* The Huskies, in the first five minutes of the game, had three penalties, a broken assignment that led to a touchdown, a
fumble( on their own 19 on the very 1st offensive play of the season), and then another blown coverage ( on the very next
play) that led to a touchdown. "You can't start a football game like that and ' win.. come on," Diaco said. ( Obi Melifonwu,
like last year, seemed to get beat for TD(s) looking into the backfield once again)
Also as was last year any QB pressure from the D-Line was non-existent and though the O-Line held up early for the most
part they started getting beat consistently at the end.( they gave up 4 total sacks) The trenches, it's all about the trenches !!!
Huskies going all in on PT for everybody and the youth movement:
* The Huskies played a bunch of players, 50 on offense and defense.
* Eight true freshmen saw action: Ron Johnson, Arkeel Newsome, Vontae Diggs, Luke Carrezola, Ryan Crozier,
Alex Bloom, Trey Rutherford and Jamar Summers.
* Diaco liked the 2 QB look. He said he was pleased with the play. There is a lot to clean up and I loathe pulling a
quarterback mid-drive. The Huskies were 2-5 in the red zone.
