Can anyone muster up one positive takeaway?

[EricCantona]

I can't. What a let down after 21 months of preparation. Zergiotis couldn't throw the ball more than 5 yards down the field. At least McFadden looked great punting. What a disaster.

 

[BlueDogs]

Punting is excellent.

 

[JMick]

poor McFadden. Comes here to kick FG's, has to take over punting because the other guy sucks, and the offense can't even get within the 40 to run him out there.

We didn't waste any opportunities in the red zone.

 

[phillionaire]

We didn’t look like the worst defense in history. This was outweighed by us looking like the worst offense in history. But still. Baby steps.

No steps.

It made for a good day for the "I told you so" crew.

To be honest, I was expecting worse. I think we will be competitive with Holy Cross. I am looking forward to a game that we have a chance to win.

 

[TMB4405]

I thought the defense was not awful. There was some positive there. But my worst fear came true where it looked like we had no business being on same field in the offensive side of the ball.

I also worry that we seemed to have no fight after we got punched in the face. I expected more. But maybe I am delusional.

 

[bigAbruns]

I'd say the first quarter on defense was a positive...downhill from there

 

[TheDoggPound]

Only 1 Turnover

I didn’t waste a ticket to go to that h@ll hole of a place. I feel for the poor guys who did. Same old , same old. Fresno was picked 4th in the MWC.

 

[phillionaire]

No steps.

I’m more of a glass half full kinda guy

 

[Hornet22]

I get it. Easy to say I told you so. But I couldn’t imagine what it felt like to be on that field in 129 degree temps. True their defense had to be out there too but not for as long as we were. Our offense didn’t help at all. But defensively, I’m encouraged. That first qtr looked solid. And it wasn’t a fluke. Guys were flowing to the ball

Basketball only fans can take the opportunity to run down thier own school.

 

[LoyalFanCT]

No one died from the heat

 

[BugsyCT]

Defense got a stop on Fresno's first 2 possessions. Score was still tied.

At the time I thought it was a huge moral victory and participation trophies should've been handed all around.

There small moments of D competence. But, DBs don’t wrap up, the D line has no rush and was getting blown off the ball by smaller guys, the LBs were missing in action. I cut them a break for the extreme heat, but 5 defenders missing a WR after a catch each with five yards is a total joke. The O is an utter failure across all positions with exception of Ross.

There is one. Jack G. was massively disappointing. When he had trouble handing the ball off the first play of the game, knew he wasn’t in right mental state to lead the team.

Biggest issues is he misses guys left and right and doesn’t deliver balls where our receivers can fight for yardage. And honestly, just not a good tight spiral - hard for receivers.

While we are one game in, Krajewski looked like big, confident and delivered the rock. Yes, has missed a coupe throws but he looked far more in command of the offense. If it turns out he is our starter, got to put the decision to start Jack G today on the coaches.

While there is some negative in this post - it’s mostly positive.

No one with heat stroke, as far as we know.

Competitive? If they lose to the Cross, then the season is done and quite frankly so is Edsall and the AD has to explain a lot or be fired too.

uconn will beat the Cross.

positive, better overall tackling in space. Fewer one on one misses.

Negative, the O Line is weak and slow even against the backups.

 

[Fairfield_1st]

The game ended. That's all I've got.

 

[superjohn]

Just checking in to tell you all again the school gave up on the football program when they brought Edsall back. The guy is a joke.
