Re: We have a football team too... Guru's UConn Huskies (NCAA 14)

Heartbreaker to the rival. On one hand it's nice to see them putting up a fight, considering the past blowouts. On the other, nothing is worse than coming up short against such a hated foe. Especially with the rush to get a play off and it didn't happen.

2 losses will make it really tough to compete for a national title, but at least keep focus on a BCS game and a conference title.

Re: We have a football team too... Guru's UConn Huskies (NCAA 14)

UConn Flashback:

UConn got their national title run in 2017 started with a tremendous defensive battle, clinched by a big play from a forgotten legend. Relive the game here!

Heartbreaker to the rival. On one hand it's nice to see them putting up a fight, considering the past blowouts. On the other, nothing is worse than coming up short against such a hated foe. Especially with the rush to get a play off and it didn't happen.

2 losses will make it really tough to compete for a national title, but at least keep focus on a BCS game and a conference title.

Thanks for dropping in SB. Seeing as how UConn doesn't have any true blue rivals, just junk local teams, it's always nice to get good games against our local "rivals", for sure. The coaching change BC made last year has certainly paid off, as we saw a much different Eagles squad than the last two years. They played confident, got us off-balance, looked sharp on offense, and took advantage when we fell flat. You all don't know this either, but BC currently has landed five 4* recruits this cycle and could easily have a top 25 class when all is said and done. Coach Babers has the team headed in the right direction, for sure.

Don't forget that last year's national title was won with two losses, but they came very early in the year. We then won ten straight games to close the year and there was lots of parity around the nation to help us out. This year is a lot different; we've lost later in the year and to teams we probably should have beaten. The playoff picture is starting to shape up with two undefeated teams remaining and several one-loss squads this late in the year. I think we'll have to settle for a lesser bowl this year and wait to hunt title #3.

The ACC is still within reach though, as you mentioned, and, assuming we don't get upset again in the next two weeks, our season comes down to the Notre Dame matchup. If we win, I think we've got a great shot to get to the conference title game again and a New Year's Bowl, but lose and we're out. Notre Dame also has a big game coming up against Pitt next week that will play major dividends as well (we hold the H2H tiebreaker over Pitt). The way we have been playing at times this season, though, the good scenario seems a little further out of reach than in the past. However, there's a reason they play the game!

Thanks again!

Re: We have a football team too... Guru's UConn Huskies (NCAA 14)

Virginia’s offense is pretty young, and not too talented either. But could be something to watch here in 2 years when all of those sophomores are seniors. Might blossom into something worth keeping on the radar

CAC Sign-Ups

I wanted to get something up today - the Virginia game should be played and posted tomorrow. Until then, friends, I wanted to re-post this for new followers. It is almost that time of 'chise season again. CAC time!!!!!

Create-A-Coach (CAC) in this dynasty started almost as a joke to add Kaelyn Willingham and Sam Freday from other popular dynasties.. it only blossomed from there and is now a staple of the dynasty (and likely the reason that a lot of folks still follow this ). Next season, 2023, will mark the eighth season of our create-a-coach side story featuring, you, me, the followers of this 'chise and our coaching alter egos. (Yay!)

If interested, simply copy the "form" below, fill it out and post any time between now and the end of the season to get involved. You can PM this to me or post it in here, and I'll insert your coach into the game as a coordinator for next season. First jobs usually come at a mid-major-ish school, in the geographic area of your choice (if possible), in place of one of the fake coaches that pop up, and we watch the action unfold. With a little luck, skill and moxie, you can carve out your road to coaching glory with UConn, Coach Belichick and our rival schools.

Thank you for your participation and involvement in my dynasty!

I like Monroe, but you're right about everyone else. UVA has been mediocre to downright bad all throughout the dynasty, save for a few weeks when they were ranked around seasons three and four.

Like Babers at Boston College, UVA's young guns and first-year head coach could certainly spark some optimism into the program. Truthfully, I don't think their roster is going to be a conference title winner at any point, but I think in two years they could be a bowl contender. Here's hoping they can develop, as it is always nice to see new cream rise to the top.

I’m feeling a huge breakout game for Swift here...

I appreciate your optimism! While we shouldn't have a problem beating Virginia, I would really love to see a good day from Swift against "weaker" competition. If our offensive line can control the line of scrimmage, he should be just fine. Easier said than done though, considering how our O-Line has been erratic at times. Nevertheless, a 100-yard game would give me a lot more confidence in Swift, considering he hasn't been the electric freshman dynamo some of us may have expected. We shall see though, thank you for dropping in!

Re: We have a football team too... Guru's UConn Huskies (NCAA 14)

(13) 49 --- 7-2 (5-1)

17 --- 2-7 (0-6)

Cause for Concern?

UConn offense anemic early against cellar dwelling Cavs, but recover in second half for blowout

UConn looked a little rusty at the start of the game; Quay LaMarr (LEFT) intercepted Jordan Brown early, while Mike Jones (RIGHT) recovered a fumble for a touchdown.

Entering a matchup against Virginia, history was on UConn’s side, having won both recent matchups in 2016 and 2017. Five years later, UConn ran the recent head-to-head record to 3-0 with a 49-17 triumph over the Cavs. However, while that score might look impressive on paper, it was not a very inspiring blowout for UConn fans.

With UConn’s season effectively boiling down to their high-profile matchup against Notre Dame in two weeks, contests against Virginia and Louisville are a good barometer for UConn in assessing their chances to possibly steal an ACC title. While the Irish are playing like national title contenders, UConn still has lots of work to do, if today’s contest is any indication.

Despite sitting at the bottom of the ACC, Virginia kept UConn close for awhile before Jordan Brown gathered himself and proceeded to slice up the Cavalier defense. Brown went just 8-18 in the first half while stalling many drives with inaccurate throws near several easy or open targets. His very first pass of the day was thrown well past tight end Alex Paige and intercepted by safety Quay LaMarr.

Virginia quarterback Morgan Johnston struggled early as well, firing an interception right back toward Linzell Tyson, the two-way freshman dynamo. Redshirt freshman Kelvin Cooke, receiving his first start at nickel this week, also recorded his first career interception off of Johnston.

Freshman takeover as Linzell Tyson (LEFT) and Kelvin Cooke (RIGHT) record their first career interceptions.

Despite both sides having some chances to score, UConn would assume a scant 7-3 lead after Brown finished a successful drive with an eight-yard touchdown pass to Paige. The score did not change as the defenses dug in in the second quarter. However, right before the half UConn’s offense finally broke through. Orchestrating a last minute touchdown drive, true freshman Ashanti Swift dove up the middle for a short touchdown run that opened up the game to 14-3. Swift recorded his second-100 yard game of the season, a much needed confidence booster for the blue chip freshman.

After a close game in the first half, UConn finally pounced and poured it on after the half. With the exception of a Michael Jones fumble recovery touchdown for Virginia, the Huskies did all of the scoring, adding four touchdowns in the third frame to take a 42-10 advantage. Jordan was responsible for each one, passing for three and rushing for the other. The targets for most of Jordan’s production were the big three receivers for UConn, as Lonte’ Speier caught six balls for over 100 yards and a score, Devin Brown was on the receiving end of 116 yards while Chamarkelle Byrom added four grabs for 70 yards and a score. Devin Brown had perhaps the biggest play, being on the receiving end of a 67 yard catch and run that set up UConn’s final touchdown of that third quarter, a play action goalline pass to reserve fullback Jayson Moss.

Lonte’ Speier (LEFT) high steps into the end zone and Chamarkelle Byrom (RIGHT) each assisted Jordan Brown’s massive third quarter output.

What was a close game turned into a 30-point blowout in just nine minutes, but that turned out to be a positive as several backups got chances to play. Notably, the Linzell Tyson show at quarterback returned and electrified Husky fans. Tyson was responsible for a 14-yard rushing touchdown late in the going off a specialty triple option play. While he didn’t get as many chances as he did against BC, Tyson is now the second leading rusher on the team this season behind Swift. Redshirt freshman quarterback Kelly Carlson also got to see some action, completing two of his three passes.

The second-team defense was less than inspiring, however, allowing a fourteen-play drive for Virginia’s only offensive touchdown of the day as Johnston passed to freshman tight end Jay Scarborough. It should be noted, however, that receivers Marcus Rodgers and Collin Miranda, both athletes coming out of high school, got chances to play at corner in this stretch, which could mean Coach Belichick is experimenting or thinking ahead.

The Virginia offense was not bad, by any stretch. Sophomore running back Tayron Monroe gained 100 yards in total rushing and receiving, and Johnston, despite throwing two interceptions, completed nearly 60% of his passes and 240 yards. Five receivers made four or more catches for the Hoos as well. For the second straight week, UConn saw just how much the secondary missed injured senior Sam Barnett, who is still week-to-week with an abdominal tear. While the front seven continues to play solid ball, including Mike Hill adding eleven more tackles for a nation-leading total of 88, the secondary will need to step up in the next few weeks if Barnett remains out.

Virginia did not play a complete game, but they gave their best shot and made a few highlight plays. Nick Provest (LEFT) makes a diving catch, while Ishaq Church (RIGHT) lays the wood on Ashanti Swift.

“We’re getting every team’s best shot”, noted head coach Stephen Belichick. “No excuse for subpar play”.

UConn can expect another tougher than usual game against Louisville next week. Though the Cardinals are 2-7 and have some of the nation’s worst statistical numbers, they gave UConn a tough battle last year in Hartford, and this year’s game takes place in Louisville.

Freshmen Tyson (LEFT) and Swift (RIGHT) make quite the pair in the backfield.

Re: We have a football team too... Guru's UConn Huskies (NCAA 14)

-------------------------------------------------------

CB Barnett (abdominal) shut down

Senior corner Sam Barnett, hampered by a nagging abdominal tear for the last month, has been shut down by UConn for at least the next few weeks. The fifth year senior has been listed as questionable or out for the last three games, but his lingering injury has forced coach Stephen Belichick to shelve the Maine native until further notice. A fair estimate would be that Barnett will miss the rest of the regular season and return for a bowl game, but it is still too early to tell.

Kent Newton and Tory Greening are set to remain the starters in the back while redshirt fresman Kelvin Cooke, who has impressed in the last two games, will get the bulk of the reps at nickel.

Interesting too considering that a CAC is their offensive coordinator, and has the backstory of being a former NFL QB. Unfortunate that it's not coming together, for some reason. Also may be worth noting that UL has a talented sophomore and freshman quarterback on the roster, so I would imagine things will get better before long. UL has been dormant for several years now in this dynasty.

Man I got a lot to catch up on

To both of you, I know cruising through things isn't typically a good practice for readers, but I've talked before about playing while I have the time, and I've been trying to not get too far ahead of the thread this season. A game a week has been the pace for the past two months, and that's fair IMO. With us falling out of the playoff race (likely) as well, I'm getting hyped up for the offseason, but I certainly don't want to work too fast during the slow time of year.

Anyhow, thanks much for checking back in fellas, hope you enjoy the season to date!
