Can a team that has trouble hiking the ball be surprised it is winless?

[Palatine]

Every play starts with a snap from center. It is the most basic element in football. The UConn offense has had trouble with this simple operation multiple times in multiple games.

Against USU, UConn had the trifecta. One spap was over the QBs head, another snap was initiated before the QB was ready and a third snap hit the TE as he went in motion in front of the QB. Two were in the red zone, another was when we were backed up in opponents red zone. And BTW, there was a play where everyone knew the snap count except the center, the result was a five yard penalty in the red zone.

The failure to competently handle this simple task shows how far we have to go. All phases of this team, offense, defense and special teams commit numerous errors, most of them unforced. But the inability of a college football to successfully hike the ball is a flashing red light that needs to be addressed immediately.

UConn got it done with defense last year. This D is Edsall 2.0 bad.

The snap into Joly was pretty funny

Although it may be easy to blame the center on these problems, the snap into the runner in motion is the QB's fault. He has to know where the runner in motion is when he calls HUT.

Center position has been a disaster for a long time.


Getting Guidone last year was such a good pick up.

Finding a center in transfer portal is critical.

Utah State player or players were calling out the snap counts during the game ( which is illegal ) and was penalized once for it. That may have explain the premature hikes from our center. Of course it doesn't account for the high hikes.

It starts with OC. Mora too. We have too many miscues. Like high school level stuff.

We also couldn’t return a punt if our lives depended on it.
