All day wide open receivers behind the defense.

[Jimdish255]

I'm thinking it's easier to improve accuracy than check-off ability. How many times have we lamented QB's in the past for locking in on receivers? This guy doesn't do that as a true frosh. He has good footwork. He's OK at the crossing routes, it's the deep ball that has been bad.

He can fix that, no doubt.

This game further confirms my okayedness with Guifre as OC.

This. It’s not so much that you’re enthusiastic about it, it’s more like you’re OK with it. I’m kind in the same place right now.

He can design plays to get UConn players open. Dare I say RE's "players must execute" mantra was true today. Coaches called plays putting Huskies in position to succeed.

I'm not there yet but he was given a crazy task. Wish we had a plug n play guy but we have to live with his learning curve as well as the offense. Maybe he has it. Maybe he just needs more games. Hope so.

Should have scored on second and goal pass play when we got stopped on the goal line. Great play call and Mensah was wide open but Zergiotis missed him. Then off course turtle ball on third and fourth down

I can't tell if Pal is calling for the backup QB or criticizing the backup QB?

But yeah, need to hit guys that wide open or else why are you in there.

CMON man...

after many 55 to 17 games, it is NOT worse than getting blown out. It, frankly, is improvement.

Couldn't agree more Some people are completely insufferable

Well our head coach said a few games ago that our QB has a "certain swagger" and also has "it", so if we are to believe him at least we have that.

Suck that air out of the room

Yeah. We should be okay we lost by 7 and take it, in a game we should have won.

I disagree about JZ being a lot like Beaudry. Zergiotis does have a confidence about him and lets the ball fly down the field. Obviously his accuracy on a lot of balls is suspect. Beaudry seems to be very tentative and afraid to take any shots at all. Personally, I never want to see Beaudry in at QB again. Let's hope JZ can at least look this good in the remaining games instead of not being able to hit the broad side of a barn like against Indiana and UCF.

Fair poitns. I am basically talking about their tendency to throw everything on a line. JZ and Beaudry both do it and neither has shown any touch or ability to put air under the ball.

I've been mostly ok with the playcalling aspect of it. I'm more concerned that he's the guy who's developing the young qb's we have.

I assume you know that although Guifre helps design the plays he does not call them during the game. The play caller is QB coach Mike Moyseenko.
