I think Roberson is (over) protecting his knee - that’s why he didn’t dive into the pile. That being said, I don’t think he’s very accurate when throwing the ball, is not very quick when running the ball, and we should give him one more start and if he can’t get the O going, it’s Zion time. And yes, I agree with all of the comments on Charlton, even when he had his guy under center, the play calling lacks imagination. And now he seems to have a phobia to throwing downfield.
There are too many nay-sayers on this board who will NEVER buy into UConn football, and they’re starting to take on troll-like tendencies. When the team loses, it’s “we shouldn’t be playing football, we’re a basketball school” whining.
It was always going to take more than 1+ season to clean up the stench of the Edsall 2.0 era. Mora raised expectations by getting to a bowl last year on the strength of limiting mistakes and capitalizing on mistakes of other teams. Through 4 games we haven't come close to an interception. We saw the QB today show no effort to recover a fumble which was the worst part of the day and we are turning the ball over regularly. We stink. We are terrible right now, but i still believe Mora could turn it around. He's going to have find talent at the QB spot, and if you're a QB looking for a spot would you come here? The scheme is dog poop and the WRs can't catch a cold.
We both agree Guidone was a great pickup. Bembry was a solid back up given we had Mitchell, Bouyer-Randle, and Swenson who had 140, 98, and 88 tackles last year and Bouyer-Randle was a portal guy. Shearin is a puzzle this year, but a big contributor last year. McDuffie and Stafford are rotational DLs, which you need so solid pickups. Generally, DTs don't make many tackles. Heck, Jalen Carter from Georgia last year had only 32 tackles. Caratan has been a very good punter. Zozus was a solid LS.
UConn needs an on campus football stadium. It’s the only FBS program that I know of with many, many National Championships in other sports that plays all its games either away or at a neutral site 25 miles from campus at an abandoned airstrip. To me they have NO home games, no stadium the program can call its own. No stadium filled with thousands of screaming students or employees who could walk to the game, and of course the UConn faithful fan. That’s what you need if you want to intimidate visiting coaches and teams and maybe sometimes intimidating the referees too. That’s what you need when the band marches down the street to the game. Is it a coincidence that Geno Auriemma won his first national championship and UConn had its first NPOY 5 years after they built Gampel Pavilion? Is it a coincidence that 9 years after Gampel was built Jim Calhoun also won his first National Championship? Calhoun always said his 94 team was one of his best btw. I also ask, did recruiting in both basketball programs begin to take off right after Gampel was built?
Talent level and an incredible inability to develop playmakers.
They can’t get the band to the damn game. How they gonna get an on campus stadium. That is , literally, why they have a band in the first place. To play at the football games.
I don't know if you can be a fan of a program and want to terminate it. It's either one or the other.
Someone said in the game chat that they (or at least a significant portion of them) were sick. Is that not accurate?
Potential of putting more fannies in the seats., Most of the current fanbase came on board because of the promise of playing big time college football.
I agree with you that this year's group has been very disappointing. .I think Mumu Bin-Wahad will prove out to be a very good transfer for us. Buckman isn't a bad pick up but we are only going to get one year out of him and obviously he should NOT be returning punts. We didn't get to see enough of Alex Honig before he got hurt but I am still hopeful that he will be a a good signing.
UCLA doesn’t count because it’s in another country, but you managed to find only 1.
Don't even bother he's delusional.
There is a total lack of respect from opposing teams too, and the state of Connecticut which has allowed the Rent to deteriorate to its present state, and so called fans. How sad was it yesterday with a stadium that is supposedly UConn football’s home field almost completely empty? In reality it’s not a home field, it’s a neutral site. If you watched and were not a UConn fan it was laughable. If UConn football fails and is dropped to FCS it will eventually affect ALL ncaa sports at the University of Connecticut and the Rent will remain as a rusting monument to the mistakes made. It’s even sadder when this could happen in a state that lays between and is part of the New York metropolitan area and only a couple hours from Boston. It has never had a pro NFL franchise in football or men’s basketball in the NBA, people knew that years ago, so the experiment of “let’s make UConn our pro franchise” has failed also because of the same mistakes being made over and over.
What potential? You mean like yesterday? The stadium was empty. Calling it a home stadium is a joke. What sad is this failed experiment will reverberate through other D1 programs at UConn.
Hasn't been great at pitching the ball either. Hand-offs are mostly okay. Frankly, I'm not sure he was ready to come back from that ACL.

Let’s hope our 2024 QB from Texas still comes. It would hopefully help
Please drop it we all know you want a stadium on campus.UCLA doesn’t count because it’s in another country, but you managed to find only 1.
