5 of 20 for 24 Passing Yards - Says It All. What Say You?

[Madmannsucks]

The OL is not the problem this year sorry.

Yes they match up against Michigan....NOT!!!

 

[kemba]

Ummm the passes aren’t exactly hitting receivers in the numbers….

Well a couple times today they did…

But that wasn’t the point, the point is no one can get open

 

[Madmannsucks]

Our WRs get zero separation. Literally none. With Ross and Marion maybe.

That is knowing as lacking D 1 speed.

 

[UCan3]

If the QB had a D1 line and WR's the post might hold water. Otherwise guessing someone turned on the game thinking our boys had a chance-1st clue, Mich favored by 47.5.

I didn’t think we had a chance with all our injuries but I expected more than 24 yards passing and for the QB to be able to complete / throw accurate side passes and occasionally throw a nice ball downfield.

This is 2 games in a row without any passing game. It is time to try someone else at the helm for at least a half.

 

[uconnbill]

It’s Puma time.

he isn't ready not sure how people can't understand that

TO WHOM???? Can you throw the rock? It is what it is for now. If you can't watch, just don't. It's painful, but there aren't currently options.

And, P.S., if you're demanding a quarterback change, then it's an anti-Zion rant. Own it.

Get real. There’s always an excuse. It always a key injury or youth or something else. The game isn’t that hard. Any FCS team would have found more yards in the air than the crap show we saw. There is no acceptable excuse for 24 yards.

 

[Palatine]

Save it. Freshman backup QB with no starting WR's. Against Michigan.
Your post "portends" you were expecting a different outcome. Airing it out? SMH

Expecting more than 24 yards of passing is not asking too much of a QB in his 4th game. It's not asking too much of a QB in his first game. What were your expectations? 23 yards?

The standing question folks are asking is who @ this point in time…

QB1 Roberson - Out > ACL Surgery
QB2 Turner
QB3 Millen - still recovering/limited from second throwing shoulder surgery
Q4 Phommachanh- still recovering/limited from ACL/LCL/meniscus surgery

UConn is not doing anyone any favor scheduling teams like UMichigan which only causes its players and fans to be embarrassed on national television.

The UConn schedule should only include teams from C-USA, sub Belt, MAC and like lower competition play.

Please no more games against the Big 10, SEC, Big 12, ACC, and PAC until the football team gets competitive.

 

[REB1094]

Freshman 2nd string QB in his 4th career game playing against the best team he’s ever going to play against in his life, missing his top receiver. Expectations are underground.

That said….that just didn’t look like football today. It’s not even a stats thing. It’s the 5 yard passes to wide open receivers that were uncatchable. Or not seeing wide open guys 15 yards down the field while throwing it 6 feet above the guy’s head on a screen pass. There were certainly a few good throws that were just dropped. But damn man. It feels like going for 100 yards with 3 INTs would be better than this, because then at least they would have tried to move the ball.

Win 2 games in October and I’d call it a solid first year under Mora. I feel like ZT won’t be seeing much playing time after this year unlike he makes huge strides.

Not a bad take here at all.

UConn needs payday games. It's as simple as that.

 

[Bongo Fury]

Why not play the best teams? If UConn were in the BIG, they’d play some good teams.

Millen just to answer the question

 

[Jimdish255]

This is really the worst of all worlds. Starter looked okay then hurt. Freshman QB not ready. Next up looked awful today. I really wish Puma was ready to go because he plays without fear and was versatile but needed to develop consistency. At this point I would rather have Rosa in the shotgun/wildcat than Millen and do it more often. We're stuck until maybe Puma is healthy. Even then the WR corps has work to do. I even saw a lineman go downfield on a running play then turn around and watch the RB try to fend off a tackler while 3 more guys whizzed by him to finish things off. A complete spectator and a cardinal sin in my book! Keep blocking somebody for !%& sake until the whistle.

Feel bad for Coach because right now the offense has too many holes. On D we wouldn't be terrible if we just had a decent pass rush. But we don't. Hope the check cleared and move on with whoever wants it most.

Nope. I want the exact opposite.

Just pin this please. I swear to god we have dumbest fans imaginable.

We need like one or two.

After that I want to play FIU and UMass every week.

Sorry, faking it until you make it doesn't work in athletics. All we are doing when we play these body bag games is reinforcing the notion that we don't belong. Meanwhile Coastal Carolina improved to 3 - 0 today with a 12 point win over Buffalo. I'm sure their cult following of fans are giddy. They can sell wins to recruits, we can sell games that resemble the clubbing of a baby seal.

I agree. Even better IMO would be make them conference games.

Yeah. Give them a goal to play for. This independent thing may not work out.

Seems like a nice place with plenty of scenery. I’d consider going there.
