Rivero to get first career start at Boise

Believe me, this is so far off from a modern-day Rudy. Please.

Former preferred walk-on Jarrett Rivero, a 4th year junior, has been tabbed to start his first career game at Boise St. while starter David Hamilton presumably recovers from his hangover.

Hamilton was obviously suspended for the first half of #19 UConn's opener at Boise State for showing up to a meeting in February late and drunk, violating team policy, leaving the other three QB's on the roster to vie for the top backup spot.

Rivero was in a battle with true freshman Tanner Dean-Lowry for the top backup spot, however Diaco declared the race a draw, signaling an "OR" between the two on the preseason depth chart. While TDL was presumed the leader in that race, Diaco must have thought it best not to throw a true freshman into the fire in such a hostile, pressure-packed situation. One has to assume TDL is indeed the top backup and would've started if he weren't a true freshman.

While D-Ham will be eligible to return in the second half, coach Diaco may have other plans.

This is far from over. For sure.

But don't declare Rivero a modern-day Rudy. It's not even close.

Thanks very much fellas, 'preciate you posting!

psorbs, with the talent we had in 2017, I don't find it hard to believe. Marriner played next level, the defense was out of their minds in the CFP, and Shirreffs did just enough at QB. It will be another year or two before we could win big again though, we just have too many new starters now.

DippinThots__, glad to hear the praise. I'm enjoying the success I'm having here and my suddenly large legion of followers. Thanks again, and keep enjoying!
