Delaware Post Game Meltdown

[psilotic]

I know the O wasn't THE key problem today, but I still think Gordo is in over his head. Very little creativity, and I don't mean trick plays. At this point I'd even take a draw play. Few if any passes over the middle. Designed QB runs. Would a little misdirection kill us?
With that said, the D blew this game for all the reasons people mentioned. Bad penalties, bad tackling, etc.

The steady dose of Cam short side runs even after it became painfully obvious that it wasn't working was maddening. GS has come up with some misdirection off that. Would like to see more bubble screens.
Big picture, it continues to boggle my mind there's people here (who love coming out of the woodwork after a bad loss like this) who think that UConn can remain nationally relevant in basketball without a football program.

Nah, Jeff Hathaway

It all goes back to when Edsall called his bluff and took the Md. job. Hathaway was a decent No. 2 who never should have been a No. 1. A good AD always has a list of the next football coach at the ready. JH was caught flatfooted, exposed his weakness, and let the CT HS football coaches mafia hire PP.

And having lost both games the same way with the offense not closing out the game in the 4th and then the defense giving up a late score in the 4th.

Add in not scoring a TD in either OT session.

Yup. Gotta blame that on the coaches. We should’ve gone for a touchdown in overtime. Everyone except our coaching staff knew it. I’m pretty sure Delaware fans were celebrating the second our kick went through the uprights.

My issue is with the play calling. Fagnano time and again has short armed or guided short balls to the tight end or even into the flat. Gotta stick with what he is good at and avoid things he struggles with. That means, playing to his strengths and not exposing his weaknesses. Just call something to his strength!!

Also, if he tucked and ran once a half or even in a goal line situation instead of handing off, he would a whole element to the running game we currently lack. Again, play calling.
