An Insider's Take On UConn

Oct. 6, 2008

We're constantly looking for ways to provide a better glimpse of Carolina athletics for readers. Connecticut has found a terrific way to do that with a blog by one of their defensive linemen, Rob Lunn. He's now posted his take on the Carolina-UConn game, and it has some interesting insights:

"The D-line for UNC was physical and made for a long night."

About the UNC offensive line: "I have seen a lot of different types of players, the highly rated ones who under performed (sorry, UVa) and the big guys who couldn't move as well (sorry I'm not sorry, Syracuse). UNC had some big guys, who were athletic and as technically sound as I've seen on the gridiron since I've been playing. Not to mention exceptionally polite (which I guess is easy when you're up in the second half like that)."

On the punt blocks: "It was something we hadn't seen on film yet, and it wasn't on our personal protector, like Butch Davis said. It was on our wing position, which has been corrected (several times actually today...). CJ Marck who took over duties for injured (and future crutch-Olympian) Steve Brouse did a good job, so to set the record straight, the blocks were NOT on him."

It would be interesting to know what Connecticut head coach Randy Edsall thinks of Lunn's blog. As an outsider, it's a great glimpse of life as a college football player. It's definitely worth reading beyond just the entry on the game against the Tar Heels.
