Always felt that Leach would have done well at UConn.

Not sure they do much practicing of full pad tackling in training camp, but your point is spot on.

Lol. BizLaw, you paid attention for all those years. The Delaware game was immensely exciting, action packed. Even the biased TV announcers kept commenting on the offenses and what an exciting game fans were seeing (the "wet dream" you referenced?). What helped lose the game was throwing to a...

Convert on 4th down? Then don't throw into flat to statue TE, that can't gain a step for the close out first down. Throw to someone more athletic or smart enough to know where the first down marker is.

Trinity would beat them.

Not UNC jv team. UConn was missing the "Auburn running back". UNC just got their asses kick.

The answer is NOT "running the ball each and every time we threw an incomplete pass". The answer is to complete those passes - AKA, execution. UConn failed to make plays and then began to clock watch.

I agree with just about all of 241 post. Really almost nothing to disagree on. BUT . . . something began to change late in 3rd quarter - a subtle shift. I even commented to the people who I was with watching the game - "don't stop playing like you want to shove the ball down their throat"...

Exactly. Well said. Middle of the 3rd quarter on, something changed. Like a boxer, they had their opponent ready to fall, and instead of finishing him off they back off like they were afraid of punching themselves out.

Well said. Kinda what I was saying.

I stand by the statement: the game shouldn't come down to running out the clock. They chose your approach: how'd that work out for them? Offensively or defensively. For 40 minutes or so, that game was not an upset, the better talent was imposing it's will. Keep punching, don't start to...

The game shouldn't come down to "running out the clock". It should be about putting points - and more points - on the scoreboard. You got 'em down keep 'em down. UConn can't afford to be passive, it needs to be exciting, bold , flashy. They need to attract attention.

Yeah, Buddy. Good encapsulation.

Not hardly. A great first quarter, yes. First half, probably. Second half, not even close.

Mid way through 3rd quarter probably more like it.
