Delaware Post Game Meltdown

[UConnDan97]

Run the football on more than one down when you have first and goal at the 2

Didn't he get roasted last week for running too much and being too conservative at the end of the Syracuse game??? He got absolutely killed for that.

I mean, we can't have it both ways, dude...

 

[WestCoastHusky]

If he doesn't throw the ball behind his shoulder, Hansen is literally walking in to the endzone. 120 other college teams can make that play.

You absolutely can't blame Sammis on a call that allows your player to walk in...

This. This isn't OC's fault. The play call was correct. Joe simply could not make the easy throw.

Delaware, another FCS program just last year, has a QB light years better than Joe

It is what it is.

 

[JMick]

Joey made that throw last year. For some reason he doesn’t make that throw this year.

It’s who he is, why he’s in Year 7 of ball, and why he’s at our University. And he’s our best QB so let that sink in.

The reality is that he does enough to win games. The defense lost this one. Anyone who thinks differently is insane.

 

[Viet Vet]

Is it hockey season yet? Well, just couple more weeks anyway.

Ball State attendance (turnstile, not tickets distributed) should be revealing.

 

[UConnDan97]

Time for me to hit the whiskey, folks. This one was a tough one for me to swallow. I'll return tomorrow...

Our defense certainly lost that game, agree on that.

There's a difference between running the ball first and ten at the forty and first and goal at the two.

 

[UConnDan97]

And yet you're stuck blaming the OC in a game where we all know the defense lost it. Cool... back to the whiskey for me...

Why were they snapping the ball with 10 seconds left on the play clock.

That’s on the OC and the Head Coach.

Coaching malpractice.

Regardless, Joe got to make easy throws every D1 QB is capable of.

Our defense is really not good. This has to be fixed fast. We simply can't put enough pressure on their QB without blitzing. Our tackling is horrible for the most part.

 

[JMick]

Just run a QB keeper on 4th and short. Tush push. Anything. So stupid.

We just spent the whole game making things too difficult for ourselves. Staff and players alike

 

[superjohn]

The praise that's heaped on Mora around here doesn't match up with the on-field product.

To put it mildly, this is not a well coached team.

It is what it is.

That’s their backup, QB1 gout hurt in their opener.

More than one thing can be true at the same time. Sammis had a bad day as playcaller and the defense sucks

 

[kris1]

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

And zero touch

 

[WestCoastHusky]

That’s their backup, QB1 gout hurt in their opener.

I know. Their backup is light years better than Joe. The kid makes good throws that's catchable. Joe made some good throws, but he choked big time when it mattered.

 

[ZooCougar]

Good points - Mora has little margin of error and sadly he can't work with that reality.

Not good points

He was 28-38 for 346 yards and two TDS.

He hasn’t thrown an interception yet this season.

But go ahead and bench him. You guys should watch a different sport. This isn’t for you.

 

[CTBasketball]

We started 1-2 last year. The goal should be lowered to 6 wins, again.

[Windham4th]

Defense is running wind sprints back to storrs after that

 

[ZooCougar]

I know. Their backup is light years better than Joe. The kid makes good throws that's catchable. Joe made some good throws, but he choked big time when it mattered.

Is he?

Joe was 28-38 for 346 yards

The other guy was significantly less than that.

 

[Kowalski]

I could say the same to you. The defense was the biggest culprit, but you should face facts and realize Fagnano misses too many easy throws when they matter. In 2 crucial situations he threw behind the TE, although on the 2nd one Honig/Hansen still should've caught it.

Ask yourself this: on 3rd and 2 why did Delaware have 9 men in the box to sell out and stop the run and Sammis still stuck with the run with no option to audible and go to a pass play? Because Sammis had no confidence Fagnano can make the simple pass at a crucial moment.

I’m not optimistic about the rest of the season but it’s not because of Fagnano. He’s not great but, at this point, I think he’s probably the best QB Mora’s had on Uconn’s roster since he’s been here. He’s a decent passer and I think the staff trusts and values that Joe’s poised enough to not going to commit big turnovers by forcing bad throws into coverage because he rarely does.

Welp, next year’s home slate looking much tougher now…

[storrsroars]

I'm laughing at everyone who suggests Joe should sit in favor of Evers. Evers would be lucky to even get to the three yard line.

You have Cam and Rosa. You run. Nine men in the box? You only need one hole.

 

[JMick]

The praise that's heaped on Mora around here doesn't match up with the on-field product.

To put it mildly, this is not a well coached team.

All of his teams have been undisciplined.

He does a lot of things right but when it comes to actually managing the game I don't think he does a very good job.

 

[maple]

And what is Mora going to do about it? Because unless we blow the doors off Ball State next week it’ll just be words.

 

[DoctorWho85]

Well I'm pissed, no defense was played at all (on either team), offense doesn't seem to have the killer instinct to make the plays needed (even with Sammis putting them in excellent situations) and dear Lord can some freakin learn to tackle?

See y'all next week to get my heartbroken again

 

[ZooCougar]

Me too. Considering Evers is probably third string now.

It’s like Browns fans who want Shedeur. Shedeur isn’t even taking scout team reps.

Did these people actually see Nick play last season?

 

[UCMB88]

Defense was terrible. The team is undisciplined with all of the penalties. Fagnano is a mediocre quarterback whom we are stuck with. Rosa has a nose for the goal line, yet he barely gets touches. McDonald comes in cold off the bench on 1st and 10 and they dial up a pass play? Bell needs to get the ball more, but he is probably double covered because we've developed no other receiving threats, nor a quarterback who shows any consistency with passing. Clock management at the end was questionable. Lots of blame to go around.
