So much for the spy.

D line being pushed all over the place too. Just a terrible outing for the D

 

[Jimdish255]

Are we still defending against the pass?

 

[TasteofUConn]

Did both head coaches agree before the game that neither team would pass the ball after half time?
Not only is this painful to watch, it's boring.

 

[BlueDogs]

Has anybody seen and run blitzes today?

 

[Stainmaster]

This is like Chinese water torture. I'd rather die with some epic failures than this slow death.

You must have not watched the SMU game last year. Perspective.

4th quarter and Navy is threatening to make it a 3 score game. Smdh! Way to go Verducci.

Their running game is very good. Problem is we aren't taking advantage of their D which is OK but not great.

We rarely blitz.

18th D in the country no more

This is one of those Einsteinian moments - "insanity is defined as doing the same thing repeatedly but expecting a different result each time."
Do something different. Anything different. Risk giving up the big play to make the big play.
And when did PP the energy vampire take possession of Verducci's body? The Pope is here. Somebody please get him in here STAT for an exorcism.

In spite of being theoretically better than last year, I see UCONN getting pushed around the field in a lot games this season on both sides of the ball.

Who the hell else are we playing who runs a triple option?

 

[BlueDogs]

I can't take it. How long does it take to realize the QB keeps the ball 70% of the time? ridiculous. Spy the QB and let somebody else beat you.

 

[Hoophound]

This is a very good Navy team. We are improved. I'm not going to lose faith.

 

[NHUConnfan]

A lot of the blame definitely has to go on the coaches. They did not have the right game plan here to stop Navy.

 

[MuchoDogYears]

Maybe Navy is good? Maybe better than we thought? Will find out as the season plays out.

Regardless of the final score of this game, UConn is better than last year's 2 win team. I'm looking for 4 wins this year. Small steps, but for the first time in a long time this team is heading in the right direction. Maybe not today, but..

Definitely. Navy is pretty impressive. It'd take a special kind of defense to really stop their offense.

 

[UconnFamily]

Reynolds have 3 TD's all by himself already. We scored but only 1 as a team so far in the game. Navy's defense is garbage too. It's Verducci's conservative play calling that prevents us from scoring. Well we're going to be 2-2 heading to a very good BYU team. Book it.

F navy. This blows

Not talking schemes, but athleticism and strength.

We handled Mizzou's SEC athletes just fine. I can't believe one game against a team who runs a joke scheme erases that.

What? We could of won against Mizzou and Navy and play calling has screwed us. I think we're good enough to be one of the best teams in the conference. I'm not satisfied with 4 wins when I know this team can get at least 6 or 7.

 

[Scoe]

I live in San Antonio. That's how we handle things down here.

Yeah maybe we should give those kids a scholarship.
