Game Week 2022 - UConn v. BC Eagles (Homecoming - Saturday 10/29/22 @ Noon on CBSSN)

[Tdaley]

From my standpoint BC has superior talent. They're down this season, but we still have a ways to go to level out the talent gap. I watched their game against Wake. They played very poorly, but they have some talent on both sides of the ball and that receiver they have can really run.

That all said, if we come out to play our Super Bowl and they come in looking to get the season done, it could be a very interesting game. I don't think that's out of the question. I have to believe Hafley's seat is getting warm and that can have a way of polluting the locker room.....one can hope!

Flowers (number 4) is the real deal at wide receiver. Their quarterback is a decent thrower and a pretty good runner. Their offensive line appears to be weak their weakness. I am hoping that we give them a great game. I could see us getting blowed out but with a few breaks maybe we steal a win here.

FWIW, not to my eye. I think BC has better talent and is more physically imposing.

I don't agree. The BC offensive line average 300 lbs. which isn't imposing for a P5 team and they are 2 r-FR, 2 r-SO, and 1 r-JR. The top 3 WRs average 5'10" 177 lbs. The defensive line has nobody over 295 lbs., the LBs average 225 lbs,, and only 2 of the top 6 CBs are over 180 lbs. BC is not a physically imposing team.

BC is having a down season due to a weak OL, an anemic running game, a QB that is have a very poor season, and a D that is below. average. Zay Flowers, their WR, will be the best player on the field on Saturday and UConn needs to figure out a way to stop him. Teams have pressured Jurkovec, the BC QB, and they have been successful.

Some BC stats:

Total offense: 307.1 yards/game ranked 119/131 teams
Rushing offense: 67.6 yards/game (not a misprint) ranked 131/131
3rd down conversion rate: 31.4% ranked 118/131
Sacks allowed: 3.4 sacks/game ranked 116/131

Although UConn has many injuries, this year may be the best opportunity to beat BC that they have ever had.

I just posted something similar until I re-read this.

100% agree. BCU's size across the board doesn't overwhelm UConn's size.

Who cares? Close enough.

Notting Hill?

Certainly very good points. I hope you are right and we play these guys really tough.

10 point dogs suggest to me that we have a legitimate chance in this game. I'd put our odds of winning at about 30% but that's pretty solid.

BC is just plain awful against the rush. They have given up almost 1200 rushing yards so far this season. I like our chances this Saturday.

Guess we’ll see what Coach sez about Marion/Houston playing in a few…
