Marinatto resigns as commissioner
Big news out of the Big East today. John Marinatto has resigned and according to CBS Sports was pushed out by the school presidents. It all fell apart quickly with the Big East. Marinatto is out, and the league is still in flux with Syracuse and Pitt still leaving and Boise, San Diego St, Navy, [...]
First take spring game
The White team beat the Blue team 14-5 (weird score, I know) as Chandler Whitmer threw for 187 yards and two touchdowns. That’s the final score of today’s Blue-White game and there are some great things to take away and some things to be very concerned about. Naturally, we start at quarterback where of the [...]
Blue and White pregame
Here at the Blue and White game and I am interested to see how this game comes off. Paul Pasqualoni isn’t going to give away any depth chart for this game, but looking at the Blue White rosters it looks like the teams are jumbled up. Mike Nebrich and Chandler Whitmer is the White team [...]
Breaking down the O-line part 2
I had several emails asking about George DeLeone’s “grave concern” comment on the offensive line and since I have some time here, it’s worth putting in some context. Here is the direct quote from George DeLeone about the offensive line. I asked DeLeone how much is the offensive line to blame for the sacks last [...]
Quick notes on final open practice
Here are some quick notes from today’s practice. Game is 1 p.m. for the Blue White Game. * D.J. Shoemate is done. Which is a rough end to a career of a good guy. His shoulder is chronic and at this point, there is no point. It’s not a huge loss RB wise with Lyle [...]
Saturday scrimmage thoughts: A little bit of the wiggles
Max Delorenzo hasn’t been talked about much as a running back since he committed to UConn. The Berlin native sat last season as Lyle McCombs ran for over 1,000 yards and figured to be behind McCombs, D.J. Shoemate, Fork Union recruit Joe Williams and a fellow bruiser in Martin Hyppolite at RB. That’s where I [...]
Second spring scrimmage thoughts
There is a certain rhythm to spring practice that coaches like to see their team get into and Paul Pasqualoni thought that the past week, including Saturday’s scrimmage, was the best of the bunch. These practices are incredibly important to evaluating personnel thought I think people get carried away a bit too much on individual [...]
First spring scrimmage thoughts
UConn coach Paul Pasqualoni was looking for different things than what you would expect during the Huskies’ first spring scrimmage. Most of the 200 plus coaches on hand watching the scrimmage and the assembled media there (just a handful of us) wanted to see the quarterbacks do something. That would mean crisp passes, downfield precision [...]
First scrimmage Saturday and some links
Huskies first spring scrimmage today. To whet your appetite here are some links from this week since the blog has been quiet (I know, I know, you want more). Here’s a story on the linebacker unit, which is going to be a strength of this program going forward. The lack of depth last year was [...]
