Delaware Post Game Meltdown

[Tdaley]

The transfer portal can be a hit or miss. There looks like some big misses on the defense. this year. I was worried going into the season that we would have win a lot of high scoring games. I wasn't as worried after our defense played a great game against Syracuse until the 4th quarter. After this week I am back to thinking we need to score a lot points to win games this year. I don't think people should give on this team yet. A lowering of expectations would be in order though. Maybe a winning season with a bowl bid should be the best we can expect. Lets see what we do the next couple games before we give up entirely on this team.
This loss does really hurt.

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 route by the TE was terrible. The TE was back pedaling and hadn't cross the line of scrimmage. The whole operation was terrible made worst by a bad throw.

Agree but the first pass on fourth down was just terrible. He had time and was just so far off.

I will be there next week and hope for a much better outcome.

 

[uconnbill]

The defense needs to run steps as they couldn't tackle and just blew coverages a few times. Again a loss that just is so frustrating

 

[freescooter]

Next week put 11 orange cones on defense. Maybe somebody will trip over one. Send a guy over the middle all day long. Not a soul near him.

 

[freescooter]

It's typical Boneyard low football IQ stuff. This was a trap game too. The offense is pretty good. The defense was horrific.

Offense was fine. You score 38 you should win. The defense, well did we have one?

I am a military combat officer veteran. The commanding officer is responsible for EVERYTHING his subordinates do........good and bad.

No excuses.......Mora is the CO. Case closed.

 

[Discograd]

No one should be surprised. Everyone knew the defense was suspect at best.

 

[BlueWolf25]

On three separate drives, we had Delaware in a 2nd and 18 or longer situation (including the final drive of regulation). They converted all three times. Unacceptable defense

 

[BlueWolf25]

And anyone calling for Evers to come in is ridiculous. Joe isn’t perfect but we absolutely get blown out if he doesn’t play. He led the offense immediately down the field after nearly every time Delaware scored, but the defense did him no favors

Why do people forget Evers was our QB last year and we had 9 wins. Sure Joe is great and puts up great numbers, until the game matters. What has those great numbers got you 1-2 record. Yes defense sucked today, but not last week and he's the one missing the easy pass when it counts, he's the one who gives us no running threat and he's the one snapping the ball with 20 seconds to go on play clock up 3 with just over 2 minutes left and other team with only 1 TO left.

Remember when we thought this team could go 12-0

You're just ignoring the question.

What do you think the score would have been if Evers started? As you calculate that, remember he he averaged 118 passing yards per game last year.

Last year, he's new and improved this year 🤪

Yikes anyone even advocating to play Evers over Joe I'm not even gonna argue I'm just gonna tell ya to go seek help.

This place is pretty special.

With an extra touchdown per game this team would be 3-0.

 

[Bubba1957]

Bottom line, the offense didn’t do enough to win. Couldn’t punch it in when they needed to. Couldn’t run the clock out. Of course the defense was terrible. So the o had to do more.

 

[giddyup]

Sadly, the discussions here sound like the kind had when a few key missed plays against a quality opponent matter.. This was an absolute, inexcusable embarrassment.

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

100%. I think Joe was a year behind me and I graduated in ‘86. We need a mobile QB at least for these option situations to run and not whip it behind our TEs.
And we sh.. the bed in OT. God we looked bad.

 

[Woof 101]

Can we have their qb?

Only if we raise more money, 😉

Nice idea. Wish we had one of those.

We don't.

Look at the box score and you will see how stupid your comment is.

Congrats gentlemen cutting the program is officially very much back on the menu. I thought those involved would have taken this more seriously. Sad!

Let’s stop this charade! UConn is not, and never will be, a football destination. You have to be what you are…and it has nothing to do with football. Drop the sport completely…save the money!

 

[HuskiesFan1014]

I was planning to go to the game next weekend but not anymore.

You might miss the only remaining win. Or one of the few. Or maybe win out. Who knows? Who cares?
Nobody's going to beg you.

 

[willie99]

So much for building on last year. I too bit hook, line and sinker. Fool me once, hell I'll let you fool me time and time again

By next week, I'll actually think we might win again, I'm that guy. It sucks being a fanatic

Thank God they can't do this to me twice a week for 5 months
