Delaware Post Game Meltdown

[BigFanCT]

Impossible situation UConn football is

 

[BlueWolf25]

Team and staff just can never make the play to put the game away. Unbelievable that they kept giving Cam the ball when he was clearly hurt. And Joe couldn’t hit a wide open Hansen twice. And Chadwick’s pi on 4th down. So many losing plays

I’m taking a break from the BY for a few days. See you at the end of next week. Maybe….

 

[REB1094]

I could write a novel but I’ll keep it short because I crashed out hard enough over the last 3 hours in the game chat

UConn deserves that loss. Back to back weeks we had the win secured and then just handed it away. There is a BIG difference between 3-0 and 1-2, and we’ve choked ourselves to the wrong side of it

The buffer is gone. If you’re serious about taking the next step, you have to show it every game for the rest of the year

Hopefully they have buy one get 4 free tickets next week.

 

[DW1361]

We looked good on offense. Just not when it really counted. We will get em next time…….

Good idea.

Their QB is a run threat and ours is not

Every QB is a run threat and ours is not...

UConn Football with loser plays at the most critical times in the game that could close the game out. A complete repeat in some ways of the Syracuse game

-3rd and 2 and 4th and 2 where a first down wins the game and they can't convert as they get stuffed with Delaware with 9 in the box to stop the run and then Fagnano throws behind Honig so he can't pick up the yards
-3rd and 18-allow 9 yard QB run and gets out of bounds to stop the clock
-following 4th and 9 Chadwick with the PI on a throw the was short of the sticks to keep the Delaware drive alive

Having the mentality to know how to win sounds cliche, but it's a real thing and this team doesn't have it.

I mean. What do you even say.

DE completed so, so many 3rd and longs. So many times we could have forced an out and we didn’t. Time after time they converted. Multiple 4th down conversions. The tackling was so bad. And we gave their QB all day in the pocket.

Offense put up points. Some missed opportunities but not the real reason we lost.

End of game management once again was horrible. Bad offensive play calling; should have been able to get a TD at the end and put the game out of reach. Barring that, we HAD DE on a 4th and long and yet again had a terrible penalty that bailed them out.

We should have scored a TD in OT. Just bad football.

This season is in danger of going— if not starting — to go off the rails quick.

 

[gsmooth]

We looked good on offense

Not good enough. When it came time to close out the game with a first down, they couldn't get it on a 3rd and 2 or a 4th and 2. And they had to settle for a FG in OT with the ball at the 2 yard line.

 

[mike012]

Did we make the playoffs yet!

 

[Hamms30]

that PI call on Cam still seems criminal to me. Looked like a textbook breakup

 

[Redding Husky]

It’s unwatchable.

 

[dvegas]

I nominate UConn for the coveted #5 spot

 

[Tdaley]

I knew our D-Line would be an issue this year. I never expected the linebacking play to be so bad. I don't see anyone on this team playing on a level even close to our starting 3 linebackers last year.

 

[WestCoastHusky]

Move on from Fagnano. Need a mobile QB see what Evers can do and if he is not the answer then you know for next year. On the fourth and 2, if he makes a decent pass to the receiver it's a first down, game over. OT, if he leads the TE he walks into end zone. Throws it behind him. He has no accuracy and no mobility

Joe missed quite a few easy throws, and that miss to TE sealed our fate. Our D didn't play well all day giving up yard after yard.

Just numb right now.

Running Game?
2nd game in a row they couldn’t get a first down to seal the game.

Can’t argue with that.

 

[ZooCougar]

Who cares. The pass was short. All he had to do was tackle him and it was over. That was not good situational awareness.

 

[ATLDYKA]

What was up with our last drive in regulation snapping the ball multiple times with more than 10 seconds on the play clock, so dumb

 

[TouchdownHusky]

I said we’re not that good after last week and some asshats doubted me. FCS defense at best.

Trinity would beat them.

 

[Scoe]

We choked when it mattered just like last week.

 

[CashewCrew]

I cannot believe anything that’s happened these last two games

 

[That Guy]

Brutal stuff. No excuse for losing to a first year FBS program. It's getting really difficult to remain optimistic about the future of the football program.
