UConn football falls to Fresno State 45-0 in first game since 2019

UConn’s first football game in 637 days looked hauntingly familiar. Defensive breakdowns and offensive ineptitude hurt the Huskies in their season opener Saturday in the oppressive heat at Bulldog Sta...

www.theday.com

-> News and notes - The Huskies played without defensive ends Eric Watts and Kevon Jones, who were both listed as starters on the depth chart earlier in the week. “It was unfortunate that Kevon and Eric weren’t here and Chris Fortin, who we thought would be our starting center, wasn’t here,” Edsall said. “Hopefully, we’ll get those guys back here sooner rather than later. Two of them were injuries and one was just a young person’s mistake, that’s all.” He expects that Jones will be back for the next game. ...

UConn came out of the game fairly healthy. Starting linebacker Ian Swenson was helped off the field with a foot injury late in the second quarter after colliding with a teammate. “I don’t know what that’s going to be like. Other than that, we just had guys cramping up,” Edsall said. … <-

Guys an idiot. Says that getting stifled in the beginning on the running game set the tone of the offense. The moron has to understand that this is the 21st century. The passing game opens up the running game. But whatever. The coaching sucks, OL sucks, the QB sucks, the talent is FCS level and here we are 107 yards on total offense getting blown out by a mediocre G5 team.

Shut up Randy. You say the same crap after every loss. It’s gotten old.

If UConn doesn't beat Holy Cross next week, just let anyone else be interim coach for the rest of the season and start thinking of our best replacement options.

Honestly, I'd give the job to a hotshot high school coach at this point. Maybe catch lightening in a bottle. What's the worse that can happen? We lose 55-0 instead of 45-0? It seems like a lifetime ago that I had season tickets and we had a competitive program.

Happened to fly into SoCal to visit family so was lucky to miss the game. Randy has never been more than an adequate coach who caught a major break early on when Danny O stayed home and created credibility. He hasn’t come close to another good QB outside of Endres and that short circuited. He is very conservative on both sides of the ball and we don’t have the talent to get away with it. Even the Fiesta Bowl year was a generally down year in the BE and we don’t make that bowl without a very good last minute FG to get the championship. Made us look better than we were. RE has never been as good as he thinks he is. As a long time season ticket holder I can say how sad it is to be able to say that the way to avoid post game traffic has become to stay til the end. But it’s early I suppose. As the joke goes, when I was feeling down my friend told me to cheer up, things could be worse, so I cheered up and sure enough things got worse. See you soon at the Rent.

 

[Palatine]

Same old, we didn't execute (blaming the players).

The real problem is Randy has zero imagination. His offense is out of the 1950s.

Hard to believe that 2 years of working, planning, "getting bigger, stronger and faster" lead to that type of offensive performance. Z has to make those throws to wide open receivers streaking down the field but sheesh. Fresno was begging to have throws over the top.

What planet are you living on? Seems like your expectations were a bit too high for this game- is why you’re crying

This QB and offense did this to everyone last year. QB threw for 2000 with 14 tds and 5 ints in six games.

Serious Question: Did you think we were running out Alabama today?

We havent seen game speed in two years and played in 125 degree field temps. This was a great wake up call for these young men and certainly smacked them in the mouth. Regroup, watch some film and plan for Holy Cross.

It’s not hard bud. Take a breath and enjoy some life for the rest of the weekend. Geez

Who were their opponents? All are just prospects and will make zero impact in the NFL I’ll bet money on it.

Holy crap you are my new special project. You can’t be real. You have to be a troll.

 

[uconnbill]

They were a better team plain and simple.

The first quarter was solid but the offensive line had issues in not being able to open any holes and then ran into 3rd and long which kill teams.

No excuses, they need to play better next week on the offensive line and the defensive backs need to make tackles which was an issue on a few occasions.

You are saying that our expectations were too high to not expect a 45 - 0 shut out? What the literal hell man?!

you seem, umm, mad. or is it, uhh, angry? mad angry?
did you miss ur supper? that one bugs me too. i like to eat.

 

[uchusky32]

Can't win games if you can't control the line of scrimmage. Randy, your offensive line doesn't create holes. Didn't play physical. Play calling set the tone. No identity on offense.

 

[Jimdish255]

Holy crap you are my new special project. You can’t be real. You have to be a troll.

You beat me to it. "Heck we just had one bad game against future hof's. Chill out bro!"

I can’t imagine being that stupid.

Maybe that’s actually Corey Edsall.

 

[UCTitleTown]

A year+ to get stronger and turn in that performance? Time to juice. Only half kidding.

 

[Hoophound]

Maybe that’s actually Corey Edsall.

I’m convinced Cory would be better. He would know current style of play as he is our ace recruiter.

Yeah....he didn't say that.

What game were you watching ? The team was horrible and the quarterback and coaching were atrocious. They don't know how to tackle and the play calling is laughable. We need a coach !!! And a quarterback !
