I was taken a back when he said that UConn is faster than we are. I could be wrong, but I really can't agree with that. Barwis be praised. But, I do like it when he says UConn is historically poor against mobile QB's.

"I’m guessing Michigan is probably a little bigger. To me, that may mean slower."
Really? You are guessing Michigan is probably a little bigger? You are a professional sports writer and you can't even bother to look at the roster?

Other than the speed thing, and forgetting about losing their two starting defensive ends, it seems pretty reasonable. However, Michigan might be the fastest team north of the Mason-Dixon line. It's all inexperienced, but really, really fast.

Not a chance they are faster than us, at any position.

On defense...
I don't think that Kovacs or Floyd, amongst others, will be setting any field turf on fire.

I would love to see a position breakdown of where he sees uconn as faster. Maaaaaaby WR? I hear their kickers are pretty fast

But probably not WR. Stonum and Odoms are both very fast, and I'm sure UConn has a couple possession receivers with similar speed to Roundtree and Hemingway. Stokes, Grady, and TRob are very fast as well.

yea im not quite following his whole "Uconn is the faster team... idea". Seems like he did this spur of the moment. He has only seen frazer a couple times since spring? Sounds like he has done his hw

Their long-snapper is faster that ours. Thus they will probably win.
September 3rd, 2010 at 12:44 PM ^
haha I hope Randy Edsall thinks they're faster too and then BOOM dilithium, bitches.

Can Michael Jackson's doctor put me in a diprovan induced coma until 3:30pm tomorrow?

He can probably do better than that.
