Making the most of the week off.
Maybe I should refer to the two-plus week hiatus between games as such, a hiatus. Not that it is a bad thing to have.
Getting all worked up and excited to start the season only to have to take a step back can be emotionally draining. There is a certain energizing factor that you can't get back. The fact the Huskies resume play at home against Wake Forest is a good thing. I only hope the crowd is much better than it was against Rhode Island. There had to have been at least five thousand empty seats.
Was it because the game was televised? Was it because it was the first weekend of school? I couldn't tell you.
Anyway, before I get off course....
There are drawbacks a plenty to why having a bye week after your first game is a negative. but after hearing coach Randy Edsall discuss his general unhappiness with the defense and special teams, you have to think they will be much more prepared.
The Demon Deacons are no pushover. While they haven't been a power in the ACC, they are a competitive bunch who have played tough opponents week in and week out. Look, they beat Syracuse, which may not be saying much, but you know Wake is not worse than the least of the East.
Let's hope UConn uses this time off wisely.
