AOL Fanhouse writer says UM wins big

That's the first preview I've read stating that UConn's offense is that bad. "As powerful as a snail on a treadmill," to be exact. I have to assume that write is clueless, but I'd be more than pleased if a 27-6 W was the outcome on Saturday.

i've liked him ever since his blog, the bemusement park.  back then, though, his Pickin' on the Big Ten feature was a lot more sarcastic and funny. 

as bad as our defense is...he does have a good point.  This isn't exactly a loaded offense.  Not saying 6 points is likely but last year everyone was talking about how good a team W. Michigan was with their run game and retunring qb.  They got 7 points against a defense that is projected to be just as bad.

Apparently UConn's offense is terrible (their offense vs. our defense could be high-school-esque).  But really he rights for AOL Fanhouse, if you think the people on ESPN are dumb this is ten levels down.

... that he meant this as a joke: "Michigan State at Florida Atlantic: Weather permitting"

Also, if Michigan holds UConn to 6 points then I will eat my hat.

that was garbage. We let Delaware State score 6 points so I'm pretty sure UCONN will get some endzone time. I envision, like most everyone else a close Michigan win. Anything better than that and I will consider it a late birthday present. Go Blue!

UConn likes to play the ball control game and lull you to sleep.  I don't think they'll have that luxury this week in AA.  Edsall may change his philosophy this week and try to strike fast and often early so he doesn't have to play catch up all day. 

Regardless of the score.  But for the record, I do not believe that UConn's offense is that "offensive", nor do I think that our defense will hold too many teams down.

You don't need to assume anything—he's proven it beyond the shadow of a doubt. There's room for debate about who wins the game, but the idea that we're going to hold them to six points is an opium dream.

who is this man who compares UConn's offense to a snail on a treadmill? Ah the wonders of the internets...

Well, it seems he is based out of Madison, Wisconsin (draw your own conclusions) and he's got a bunch of blogs...http://www.blogger.com/profile/08880787707678297235

Apparently, a pastor at the Evangelical Lutheran Church (top that Brian Cook) since Pastor Hasty gets his info from on high. He is a graduate of Minnesota State (Mankato) and the Luther Seminary. Of his secular career, Mr. Hasty notes:

My freelance writing career has been entirely secular. My work regularly appears at FanHouse.com and has appeared in the past at The Truth About Cars and BlogCritics. I am always open to potential projects. Writing isn't just a hobby for me; it's part of my calling in life.

In summary, he has a close relationship with god, has been writing College Football since 2007 and has a lot of varied interests. So, basically, he could be pretty much anybody on any board anywhere (except tUofOSU) making this prediction. I believe we win big but six points is impossible.

He missed the (x10) behind each of those scores. It's going to be a great game for people who like to see points scored, I think.

I don't think this defense will keep UMass under 6 points this year, so the notion of bowl-team UConn being kept to such a number is ludicrous. Now, a 21-point win is certainly in the cards, but it will look far more like an NFL-Blitz score.

If this guy hates hot seat lists why does he use so much space writing about who's on them?

One outcome that seems unlikely is UConn scoring only 6 points

Never underestimate the power of the human spirit,that defense of eleven angry men with something to prove....oh,but they won't hold UConn to six.

Not that I am pumping ND, personally I am happy with 6-6 this year, but if you don't think Kelly stepping in for Weis is a major upgrade then I will be happy watching the bombs drop a week from Saturday.  Don't forget, and I am aware of scoreboard, you didn't stop us much last year either and in your case your defense isn't any better.

I don't mind that you forecast a UM win, but I don't see how you think its this great impossibility that ND will win.  I guess we'll know more in 4 days.
