In Friday's JI

In today's JI, a story on UConn's linebacker corps. New website and actually easy to navigate and read, check it out.

I think it is inevitable to go faster and quicker at the linebacker spot. I don't know how many times Danny Lansanah was in position to make a play and couldn't get there in time.

The one play that sticks with me is West Virginia's Pat White's TD run early in the third quarter against the Huskies. Lansanah had him contained for a short gain, but was unable to complete the play. White made the UConn defense look silly scampering in for the touchdown. That signaled the rout was on.

Lutrus can make that play, athletically anyhow. Moving Dahna Deleston to linebacker will also help with speed. He played close the line anyways and is comfortable. You do have to worry that a power running team may just try and power it down the Huskies' throat. The Big East is all about speed and play making ability offensively, and the Huskies have to find a way to match up.
