Impressions UConn

1. Give UM credit, they did not look past an obviously over matched opponent and took care of business.
2. It is always a plus when you can empty the bench and give every player some PT.
3. I was impressed by UM’s 2nd and 3rds.
4. They played hard and there were not a ton of missed assignments or ugly play.
5. I was happy Orgi got into the end zone.
6. JJ solidified his status as #1 IMO.
7. Was happy to see JJ step out of bounds instead of do his Earl Campbell imitation.
8. Yes, I am dating myself, LOL!

8a. I think staff put him on a short leash at one point. He handed off when he should of pulled and he had a chance to run for yards out of the pocket and did not.

9. I was impressed with Corum’s improvement running between the tackles.
10. Stayed on course and did not bounce too early.
11. UMs O Line did a great job wearing down UConn’s D Line.
12. And they were good sized.
13. Most impressive thing to me on offense is WR blocking.
14. They are engaging and staying with their blocks.
15. I really liked that starters began the 2nd half.
16. As I sated last week, this was something UM needed to do to prep for the rest of the season.
17. This group of WRs is as quick and athletic as any UM has shown in many years, maybe ever.
18. I had a huge smile when UM Oline moved the LOS backwards on the goal line.
19. Props to Erik All and his improved blocking.
20. What was a negative is now a big positive in his game.
21. Three huge special team’s plays put the game away.
22. This D Line moves extremely well laterally.
23. The kept spilling the UConn running game to the unaccounted for overhangs.
24. Have to give props to the edge players, did a great job of setting the edge.
25. Kept UConn offense between the hashes.
26. Need to give credit to defense staff.
27. Game plan recognized UConn lack of vertical stretch and they completely compressed the field.
28. 1st actual old school zone blitz. And MacGregor executed to perfection.
29. Turner has a chance to be special on the corner.
30. I now the comp has been suspect, but tackling has been excellent.
31. My one worry on defense, D Line had problems finishing in the pass rush.
32. QB was able to break contain on the scramble and stress the secondary..
33. Time to get ready for Conference Play!
34. Until Next Week, Go Blue!
