So maybe Fresno isn't all that great?

 

[Husky68]

2 FCS games, 8 games where should be team that plays best wins, 2 games where have to out play way better teams. Need to be reasonably competitive, win both FCS and other than Clemson be in all the games in 4th qtr. and don't get out executed late and keep eye discipline.

We don’t play Syracuse

So do we get to chant..."we're number 103...we're number 103"?

The correct way is, "We're number one....oh three."

I’ve been saying that this is a far more manageable schedule than we’ve had in Edsall 2.0. Not to say we go 10-2 but I would consider 6 or 7 wins within the realm of possibility. Not to say we will win 6-7 either. To me Purdue is huge.

 

[pepband99]

Uh, yes. Of note due to them looking up. No other reason.

And yet I was told that to expect more than one win I was "over the top".

[Madmannsucks]

Probably 2 years away from any significant win total.

Not by me. I’ve said 7 is the top but 3 is the floor. Other than Clemson and likely UCF nobody is a complete mismatch

Sorry...didn't mean to infer it was you. It was @ConnHuskBask .

My prediction is for 4 wins - which I also think is the absolute ceiling.

How can you even take a post seriously saying UCF and Clemons are our only mismatches, when we open as 27 point underdogs to Fresno?

When I said UConn should win two or more... you said it was over the top. Yet you predict four wins. Weird.

Now you say something about "Clemons" and UCF being our only mismatches. Where did I say that? Or are you referring to someone else?

 

[BlueDogs]

Fresno will be telling as to where we are. If we get whacked, it’s setting up the team psychologically for ore of the same. If we win, it will build much needed confidence to break out of the cycle of losing.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

If UConn keeps within 5 TDs of Fresno I’ll never post on the football board again

 

[Exit 4]

That means you have less than 50 days left here

That's not what happened. You called @Dream Jobbed 2.0 a "masochist" for predicting 1 win... for a team that is favored in exactly 1 game this season.

That comment, along with 6 wins is more over the top in my opinion.

@freescooter is the one who doesn't think we'll be overmatched in any game besides Clemson (phenomenal typo joke btw) and UCF, when we're week 1 underdogs at Fresno by 27 points, but by your comment it appears you agree that the odds makers don't know anything but the same UConn fans that have predicted bowl eligibility every season the past decade are in fact more knowledgeable?

 

[Madmannsucks]

It's pretty simple-they will struggle to compete until their "D" starts holding teams under 35 or so on the regular-last couple years, 3 and 8 teams were dropping 55 to 70 points.

Based on 2019 data points and seemingly in-conflict w/ overall team rating of 103…




-> With the help of PFF College's advanced database,we can proceed to answer that question. Taking into account each projected starter's play-by-play grading profile and several other data points, in addition to film and scheme review, here are PFF's annual college quarterback rankings for all 130 FBS programs. And along with ranking each situation from one to 130, the quarterbacks are grouped into tiers to provide further context on where each school stands entering the fall.

TIER 6: NEEDS SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT
These quarterback situations are marred by past poor play or unpromising candidates to lead the offense in 2021.

People say that but they never follow through..

 

[Watchdog]

So many assured predictions for a team:
-with no proven QB;
-that hasn't played a game in two years;
-that took full advantage of a "bye" year to become much bigger and more developed physically; and
-that has had a full year to better adjust to its latest offensive and defensive schemes.

Should be fun to see how the year turns out, but I'm in the camp of those who believe there are a majority of winnable games (eternal optimist). BD's late call against Navy put us on this path. It's time to turn it around. We're due.

That's a start. At least we don't have the worst QB............
