While I've pulled off many a comeback over the five and 1/4 seasons of this dynasty, I have a bad feeling that this ability to randomly pull, say, a 21-0 run out of my sleeve will fade away at some point. Hopefully it's not any time soon though!

Good question. In all honesty, I can't remember myself who I started at QB against IU. Once I dig out the lineup cards and box score, we'll discuss that.

Regardless of what happened against Ohio State or the upcoming IU game, Rivero definitely asserted himself as a contender for the starting job. Which isn't good, because, as the old mantra goes, you have no quarterback when you have multiple. Hopefully we can get some traction moving forward.

I was kind of indifferent until I realized we only trailed by a TD and the only times I lost it were Rivero's tying TD and the Bradford scoop n' score. Not really a roller coaster, but the early parts of the fourth quarter were sure exciting!

Honestly, I was actually ready to put some offensive subs in at various points early in the third quarter. Serves me right!

Thanks for the comments everyone.

News and Notes: TDL, Parks featured in lineup against IU

Despite leaving last week's game against Ohio State hurt, sophomore Tanner Dean-Lowry has been named the starting QB headed into UConn's game against Indiana. While it was senior Jarrett Rivero who was the hero of last week's game, Rivero has been relegated to #2 on the depth chart, sliding last week's starter Isaac Jackson to #3. Diaco acknowledged that he wanted to give TDL one more shot and that "Rivero is the guy in case something goes wrong". Regardless, it appears as if we finally have sorted out the QB race, at least to some extent.

In addition, sophomore cornerback Kyler Parks will make his first career start against the Hoosiers on Saturday. Parks has, according to Diaco, temporarily bumped true freshman Shavlion Wade out of the lineup. Diaco stated he simply wanted to see if Parks would be a better fit on the outside or guarding slot receivers in his nickel or quarter packages. Parks will also continue to be used in various offensive roles as a fullback and slot receiver.

Haha. I don't know about seeing the future, but I've had my fair share of deja vu moments over the years.

That was unexpected, but I have had a solid track record with predictions in the past. Before the 2014 NFL season started, I actually went on camera and said the Seahawks would defeat the Patriots in the Super Bowl. I would've picked NE but I didn't want to be a jinx. Turned out just about right.

In any case, I'll have to keep tabs on this story, see if it plays out the same way as it did here.

Finally got around to reading (or skimming) through most of this and man this is an inspiring dynasty. I love how deep in depth you go. Keep it up, hate that I caught this just as you began posting less, lol

[mattrd39]

Crazy comeback to put up 38 points in 13 minutes of game time, especially against a team as good as Ohio State in the Horseshoe.

Surprised to see you go back to TDL and not stick with the "hot hand" of Rivero, but as you said, he can come of the bench if necessary. I have a feeling your defense will be able to play a little better and not require a monster comeback this week against Indiana though.
