UCONN QB can run the football pretty well

[IthacaBarrel]

not much of a passer although he had some big plays last week. Keep him from running too much will be important.

He's actually pretty good, IMO. I think the UCONN O wills score some points but their defense is really beyond bad

lets hope we are closer to Boise on D than UCF on D.

Good experience for the D as they need to play vs an athletic QB.

I agree, I think he may present some issues and I think UConn will score some points

Yep, he's the type of Qb that has given Syracuse plenty of issues over the years... Could be interesting.

So they might have a QB that can run 100ish yards against us, big deal
Their defense has given up 2040 yards in 3 games...
I doubt this game is "interesting"

Are we sure our struggles with this kind of QB is a unique Syracuse problem and not something most defenses get stressed by

I watched the boise state game and the kid is quick - but man he struggles to make simple throws/decisions. Not expecting them to score more than 1 TD.

No he isn't. Our D under Babers has struggled against accurate QBs + a heisman winner.

There running back Mensah is pretty good to but that O-line is not good, probably not as bad as FSU but close. Uconn's offense isn't awful so they may get some stuff going but there defense is atrocious. There starting a ton of True R-S frosh and apparently 3 of the few upper class starters they have are hurt and there availability for Sat is in doubt.

They've already had a rough season and it just started. It's not going to take too many offensive possessions by our offense with no breaks for their defense before they've hung it up for the day. IMO.

UConn might be without its leading tackler, too. Honestly, sell out against the run and force him to throw. We've seen our secondary make a jump over the last 9 months, as well as the DL. Keep the LBs home and let the corners and safeties play it safe.

 

[djorange1989]

if this were a basketball game it could be interesting, as they have 3 or 4 good players. except, it is football and they have 3 or 4 good players and we have like 50. if we don't completely torch them, i will be disappointed.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

QBs that run pretty well can also get tackled pretty well.

 

[TheCusian]

I want to explore the “We struggle against this type of QB” meme more. Nunes web site says it all the time like its gospel.

Is it the Dome? The color orange enrages dual threat QB’s and they go nuts?

My working theory is that a good dual threat QB stresses out all defenses more than a crappy one or a pocket guy

 

[anomander]

UConn will get a couple scores. Cuse 58 - 14

 

[nzm136]

Real points - 56
Pitty Points - 10
