Completely inept in every phase

[huskymedic]

Agreed. Our route concepts are very basic and easy to defend.

I don’t know... I saw a lot of open receivers today.

 

[WestCoastHusky]

Even SJSU is winning against Arkansas. Why do we have so many excuses for this staff? They suck.

Hire the entire staff of the next FCS champ team. We need to make a change.

 

[Marty Jackson]

Steven Krajewski took the pipe on a training wheels throw. I think you have to give Z a chance to progress. None of these guys are push button ready. Add in incompetent pass protect, the inability to run the ball and a dope for an OC and you get crappy QBs. I swear if Guifre runs another play on 3rd and short out of the pistol or does a deep handoff, I’m going to explode. For goodness sake, try a damn sneak or power formation. Moron.

That’s Moran

 

[huskyrob1]

we saw beaudry against wagner. do you think hed look better against indiana?

edsall wont play Steven Krajewski... well because you saw why on his two throws today.

Mark my words, Steven Krajewski will soon join the list of UConn QB's with an arm, who for whatever reason were not favored, and under utilized, or mishandled by their head coaches, and that went on to distinguish themselves after UConn. Mike Nebrich, Tim Boyle, Richard Lagow. I'll throw in Marvin Washington as well, although he has yet to distinguish himself elsewhere.

Progress at glacial speed.

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

Progress at glacial speed.

So...I love the UConn daily that Silver puts out and I think he has great insight and has been a nice contributor to this board. But...he made a comment this week that Edsall needs “several years” to get his players.

So this is year 3...how long does he need? Several years beyond year 3? I know RE is methodical and deliberate, but several more years is ridiculous.

You leave the Maine coaching staff alone.

Krajewski is the ANSWER. Nite nite. Note the all caps

He might not be the answer but you will never know if you don't ask the question. Krajewski has worked his butt off and deserves a chance to put the team in a position to score and not just hand off the ball during mop up time. I have a “gut feeling” that if he gets a chance he would do well.

 

[Kemba429]

The problem is I was lead to believe the team was really really young last year. So if we are very very young this year. Does that mean we were very very very young last year?

I mean yes... we have 12 total seniors, maybe 7 that play on a good day. Yet again the key is to improve every year, which I believe we will. We arnt going to jump up to be bowl eligible in a year which seems to be an expectation of some people on here.

 

[Hoophound]

The issue most people have is that these days, coaches that are good are bowl eligible in year 2 or 3. If they aren’t, it probably isn’t going to work out.

 

[junglehusky]

well youve seen all the qbs and none of them are ready so which one do you want?

the other one.

 

[CTMike]

Remember BY... it’s not UConn being bad that’s the problem... the problem is that @whaler11 point this out weeks ago.

The defense needed the most attention and has demonstrably and statistically improved. The offense has not but is more a product of QB development. We obviously have a ways to go. After Zerigotis’s wild flip was pick-sixed, an IU fan sitting behind me said” that guy thinks he’s Baker Mayfield only without the accuracy and the talent.”

I agree that the defense is better. And, UConn is bringing in better talent, but it is still young. Unfortunately, what is holding up the rebuilding process is QB development.

Some posters think UConn should have adjusted the offensive game plan during the game. The problem wasn’t the plan, it was primarily QB execution. Receivers were open, but Zergiotis either wasn’t accurate or rushed. Indiana stacked the box and pushed the pocket and dared Zergiotis to pass or run.

Indiana was able to plan for Zergiotis and Illinois was not and it showed.

Let this sink in, we let up 49 points and 550 yards against URI! Last year, the lowest offensive output against UConn was 444 by UMass and second lowest was 516 yards against Temple. So far this season, we have 3 games with fewer yards allowed than our lowest total allowed from last year. You have to admit the defense is better this year than last. The players are better and the coaching is better. Heck, if UConn had any kind of offense against Indiana, they would have let up fewer points and yards.

the defense is better - i said all off season the defense would be better and the offense would be much worse.

it’s still ridiculous to compare stats between ucf and bsu and wagner and illinois.

indiana got everything they wanted all day yesterday. they played a backup and played at a snail’s pace - they didnt bother to test the secondary down the field because they could win by 35 without taking a semblance of a risk because uconn had almost no chance to score barring a miracle.

watching uconn stand at the line for 20 seconds a play on offense is tremendous. anything to not actually try and compete.

So the defense has gone from the worst ever, to mildly bad. Okay, that is progress.

I tried to listen - after the Pick-6 I gave up and switched over to the Wisconsin/Michigan game.

I think people forget that Pindell was 32nd in the NATION in rushing yards as well as passing for 2000 yards and a 123 passer rating. Nobody on the roster will be as good as he was anytime soon.

 

[uconnbill]

My thing is changing offensive coordinates every year hurts any offense and when you throw in somebody who has never done it you are bound to have issues to say the least.
The offense needs to spread it out and not be afraid to do something different instead of just running and throwing short passes where the teams can play ten yards in a box all game long.

We look better in the White unis with the blue block C helmets.
