Have to say it’s nice to wake up for the first time since Fall 2019 knowing I’m going to be able to go out with the kids to watch the Saders play a football game in person. We’re all fired up.
As our friend td128 would say, Let’s Win!

UConn says that 20,000 tickets have been “distributed” for today’s game. Will be interesting to see how many of those tickets show up at the stadium.

GREAT NEWS to see a "game day" again! Will the HC offense be strong a nd consistent? Will HC have one dominant QB or go with packages for. more than one at that position? Has our overall team speed improved? Will the defense show a strong secondary that can help;p prevent big plays for opponents? Will our pass defense be effective?
The answers to all of these will soon become more clear. Kickoff in less than one hour. GO CROSS GO!

Multiple QBs. Any student busses from HC?

UConn is without two of their starters in their defensive front seven -- Ian Swenson and Eric Watts.

Great play call from Roper on that designed QB draw, which picked up close to 20 yards.
We look great.

Now let's see how our defense plays against the UConn speed in the run game.

Touchdown Holy Cross!!
By the way--can anyone report on Oliver's 23 yard run (I am following on "stats")? Did he show some speed there?

HC's first punt only mediocre. 3 and out trying to rely on the running game. UConn stayed in their lanes and stopped Sluka on 3rd down.

Please don’t get conservative on offense. Great start, but keep the momentum

Ahh, Reichwein. Should have been a pick six.

UConn winning the punt field position battle. Punting is their strong suit.

Our offense is so conservative. Why? It’s so predictable…. We have momentum. Throw in some misdirection/play action and keep things honest.

Can't say I really like our previous two drives starting with running plays on 1st and 2nd down.
