Ivy League media day and Chalk Talk
The Ivy League preseason media poll was released on Tuesday (see previous post for complete poll). Yale was picked fifth.
In addition to the release of the poll, the Ivy League held its media day teleconference with all eight coaches. Then Tuesday night, Tony Reno took part in the Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce Sports Council’s annual Chalk Talk event.
The event features area college football coaches including, Reno, New Haven’s Chris Pincince and Southern Connecticut State’s Tom Godek, and it’s moderated by News 8/My TV 9 sports director Noah Finz.
Here are two clips from Reno speaking at the event.
Also, here is a link to a notebook off of Tuesday’s news and some additional notes below.
Reno on captain Deon Randall: “Deon has the ability to be a TB, a slot WR in our offense and generate a lot of touches and put pressure on defenses. Whether it’s running zone schemes, catching balls on the perimeter or down field. He gets in and out of breaks well. He’s not the tallest, but he’s pretty stout. He can get off tackles well, he gets yards after the catch and after contact. We can plug him in roles and accomplish a lot, and it creates interesting issues for the defense. We can use him in a lot of different areas. But we need to give him help. It can’t just be the Deon Randall show.”
Reno added he does not plan on using Randall in the secondary this season, unless necessary.
Reno on the 100th anniversary of the Yale Bowl and playing Army: “It’s really an unbelievable opportunity. Think of the history of it. During my time in the league, there hasn’t been an Ivy League school that’s played a BCS program. We’re the first to play a BCS program in a while. It shows the importance of football at Yale and the rich tradition Yale has.”
Reno on Varga: “He’s still in Canada. As of right now, he’s progressing. We just don’t know to what point.”
On the defensive side, Reno expects to start eight sophomores. Some, he said, that have a shot to really emerge this season: Victor Egu, Marty Moesta, Foye Oluokun, Spencer Rymiszewski, Dale Harris and Cole Champion. He said all had impressive summers.

Hey Chris,almost time man.I was looking over the current roster.To my surprise another player Henry Baldwin from Darien,Ct, nice addition.
Also have you seen Thompson and Blohm, in or around captians practice.?
Have you heard anymore about other kids committing for 2015.?
Hope you and the family are well. Jon Harris
Jon,
Thank you. Hope all is well.
I am pretty busy covering the Connecticut Open right now, New Haven's tennis tournament. As soon as that is over I will be concentrating on Yale football.
Surprised that the consensus of this blog calls for Morgan Roberts to be the starter. To me he was a total walking disaster last season. I don't remember him doing one thing positive.
Let me beat that dead horse some more.maybe it might feels it.
If Roberts was any good he would have went to Harvard.
Or Princeton actually you Troll
Roberts was not very good last year but this is another year.
He cant start this year if Yale wants to win any games.
That a great attitude,Your the #1 Yale huh..?
Hey 2:16 Easy does it,I used to drink also,I understand. No judgement zone.We have TT boy for that.. Cheers Jon Harris
