What did Boyle do? What si the story.

[Palatine]

I have searched but found nothing. Does anyone know why Boyle was benched last night?

UConn coach Bob Diaco said QB Tim Boyle was available to play but hobbled by lower leg issue

 

[rich1122]

The announcers said all night that Boyle would not play and that the play calling was slanted toward protecting Whitmer. They even said "What will UCONN do if Whitmer cannot play". There is Will Rishell from Hebron listed on the roster. Otherwise we are screwed.

More from Fuller after the original post:

>>ESPN reported that backup quarterback Tim Boyle was unavailable to play but Diaco said that was not the case. "He could have played," Diaco said. "He is cleared to play. He is hobbled with a lower-leg, I am not going to call it a lower-leg injury but a lower-leg pain but he was cleared for participation but it wouldn't have been prudent to (play him) under those circumstances."<<

They were wrong on that part... he was on the sidelines.

Thanks.

I have to say, I'm glad it's nothing more than a sore leg. Count me among those who's like to see some more of Boyle. Can't blame Chandler for the play calling last night, but I'd be up for anything that gives us a shot at some offense.

Technically all you need for a backup to the backup is a dude who can catch a long snap and hand the ball off.

Sometimes leg pain is code words for scaitic back issues; but then it's not technically lower leg. So lots in this communication doesn't add up.

Not sure what doesn't add up... they weren't risking his future health/availability by putting him on the sloppy field w/ lower leg pain unless it was an emergency.

 

[Chief00]

What doesn't add up? - is it a back or a pure leg issue? Pain in the leg from a back rooted injury is much more serious than a sore ankle etc.

When you add in Tim's tweet it seems there may be more to the story.

My dad said the same thing. I can confirm he was on the sideline dressed and ready to go.

What tweet?

 

[ibleedhuskyblue]

Dez reported that TB was not unavailable. BD didn't want him playing in those conditions while he was experiencing leg pain.

I suppose if there was an injury to CW, we probably would have seen him.

Could have just been a day to day thing, cramping or whatever. Diaco changed it from injury to pain when he was explaining it, which was interesting

 

[CTBasketball]

He got benched, big deal. Diaco didn't want to use him - I doubt there was an injury.

Something going on and we have no insight

Or he's actually having an illness in the family or something personal going on that ahs nothing to do with football?? Just a thought? Hoping it's not football related

Not that the cited comment isn't wild arse speculation, but a QB throwing pre-game passes may not be consistent with the intended medical reference, sciatica. Perhaps it just symbolizes of the typical unfounded Blarney Stone.

It's the weekend and he's from CT. He can probably go home anytime he wants. Nothing to get bent out of shape about here.

This is the Boneyard. Half of the posters on this board will get bent out of shape if one of the players have a bowel movement 20 minutes earlier or later than anticipated.
