Rutgers pregame

Pregame: It's a beautiful fall day in picturesque Piscataway. Nice cold chill. I hate this ride. I just can't stand driving through New Jersey. Sorry people. It's just a bunch of strip malls, traffic lights and no left turns.

Here is a preview of today's game. I can't believe it's light out and the Huskies are playing. That's what happens when you lose. I have a good feeling about today. Reading the Rutgers area papers and other research I think the Scarlet Knights are still searching. Perhaps homecoming fires the Scarlet Knights up. This is the season for Rutgers here. If that doesn't fire them up, nothing will.
I expect a close game,but as long as Frazer doesn't throw INTs I think the Huskies will be fine today-- 17-14.

Update 11:33 a.m.: Watching Huskies warm-up I see Andre Dixon in there going out in pass catching situations. Question: Where has the Dixon screen pass gone? It is halfway through the season and UConn has tried maybe once or twice. Why not got to some two back sets?

Considering the struggle at wide receiver, I think they should put Dixon in the slot. You know what? Just get the man the ball.

An incredible stat in the UConn notes. D.J.Hernandez's 100 yard game receiving against North Carolina two weeks ago was the first 100 yard receiving game by the Huskies since the MOTOR CITY BOWL (Keron Henry).

That is a span of 41 GAMES if UConn's stats are true. I can't remember a game that it wasn't since I have been covering the team.

I find this incredible. UConn is even in more desperate a need at WR than even I thought (and I have harped endlessly about this).

Update11:55 a.m.: Half full. Where is everyone? Seriously, about 60 percent. Lots of empty seats, entire rows unoccupied.
