Fagnano Out For Year- Roberson New Starter

Charlton should call whatever plays give us a better chance to win. If that means running TR so be it. This is TR’s coming out party. I’m anticipating a great effort and a big win.

This times a million. At this point, even if we believed that the playbook, last year, was managed to keep the QB healthy (I don't really buy that, as much as I wish I did); sitting 0-2 in a year where you hoped to recapture the fan-base, all the guardrails have to come off, run the plays that give you the best chance to win, if it means running the QB more, so be it, but you have to run the plays that give the team the best chance.

You also have to wonder if Charlton will be afraid to run too much because he doesn't need to have another season with only one healthy QB.

We should currently have at least THREE healthy QBs on the roster.

I wish I could agree with you but I can't in this instance. We have had nothing but injuries with running the QB. If you get flushed out of the pocket and have to run thats ok. HOwever designed runs lead to to many QB hurt. Roberson looks like a pretty small player to begin with and I don't want him out for the season.

My point was that he may not want to run Roberson too much because we are already down one QB for the season. He doesn't want to keep losing qbs.

I think they started last season with 4 and ended up with just Zion.

I kind of get the feeling that the choice of Fagnano might have surprised the team a little bit. I I feel like there will be good energy for Roberson this weekend.

(No, I'm not suggesting anyone sandbagged it for Fagnano.)

Hope you’re right. We’re only 7 point favorites, but Vegas can’t be right every time.

Roberson is short, but in person he looks thick. You never know but he looks durable.

Right. I'm not saying I want linebackers squaring up on Roberson a dozen times tomorrow but he's also not the QB I worry about just for taking a hit.

Be smart and decisive with the runs. If he can get out of bounds, get out of bounds. If he can slide, slide. And if he has to take a hit, hedge a bit to try to keep from taking a hard hit.

Definitely take a long slide, it’s the best way to get a flag for a late hit.

Tomorrows game a bit of a litmus test for Charlton. Can we have nice things or not?

I think they will come out kicking on all cylinders tomorrow. Mora and Charlton have sat down with Roberson and the rest of the offense this week, and gone over the X’s, O’s and the arrows. They have a weapon in Roberson, and his receivers, not to mention Houston, Burns, and Brewton. Every guy has to know his role.

Whole heartedly agree. Time to see how much wiggle room there is in his playbook and in-game thinking to match his calls to the players on the field.
 
Will be interesting to see if he’s learned when to mix in the trick play versus running it just because it’s part of the game plan. That’s my only beef with him 1+ year in his role. Feels like he force feeds wrinkles outside the flow of the game

Who sat down with the Defense? Maybe Pagano…
 
Seeing how the unscripted play calling goes will be key. Charlton has been able to put together some good opening scripts in various games throughout his time here, but has failed to keep it going after that.
 
Anyone else more giddy about today's game than last week's game, simply due to the fact that Roberson is starting?

His ceiling is no enticing.

Just five games in his UConn career, the last two games really started to show me what Roberson can do for this offense.
  • 71 total points
  • 470 combined passing yards
    • Which, in turn, has helped Rosa rush for 181 yards in that time.
    • Also, the Roberson > Joly connection is flourishing.
      • 10 receptions, 140 yards, 1 TD over last two gms.
  • 4 TDs to 1 INT
  • Improving movement in the pocket, positive net gain in rushing.

You can tell Roberson is getting more confident with each outing. He is getting better at reading the coverage, and he has a good arm. The few throws he made into tight coverage tells me he is finally believing in his own capabilities

Now I just wish Charleston has more faith in the kid since he is still obsessed with running up the middle on most 1st downs.

I hope they open up the playbook and let Roberson do much more like:

  • let him audible based on the defense he is seeing
  • definitely keep letting him roll out more to the right and pass
  • call more play actions
  • Let him run more with RPO
 
Joly, Ross, Clercius and Buckman. We have receiving weapons. We are finally using them and guess what? They create separation and space. It’s been a coaching and scheme issue all along. Too bad we had to lose 5 games for Charlton to get his crap together.

Roberson is starting to show why he was a 4* recruit coming out of HS. If he continues this rapid improvement, PSU really dropped the ball letting him go which is great for us.

While I admire your commitment to the bit, don't you think it's run it's course? I mean the Rice guys were complimenting the play calling all game. Yesterday, we passed on first down. Most noticeably, right after the fumbled punt where the play opened up a downfield receiver and the pass was skyyed.

Absolutely not.

Rice has a terrible defense. We are still calling routes short of the sticks on 3rd down.

I want a real offense. I want 40 points every game.

Every top program like Penn State is recruiting at least one top QB per season. For Roberson, the QBs recruited in the 2 classes in front of him were Sean Clifford (4 year starter) and Will Levis (transferred and 2 year starter at Kentucky), and both are now in the NFL. The starter this year is Drew Allar, who was a 5* and 4th rated QB in his class. But, they all can't play which is why the best place to recruit top QBs for a school like UConn is through the portal.

There were multiple situations where our play calling was horrible.

One thing I remember is right after we got the INT, Charleston called 3 runs in the row. On 3rd and 3, we should have least made the effort to pass or RPO to get the 1st down to put the game away. Instead, we ran and got 4th and short. At this point, it would have been nice to put Stafford out there to get the 1st down vs. punting. This kind of play not to lose type of mentality is the reason why we keep kicking ourselves in the nut. It seems to me Charleston is calling plays with no faith in his QB. Roberson has shown he can do a lot more if he is given the opportunity to freelance more.

Our OC still needs to learn much more. His play calling improved 2nd half but it could be much better.

Not just UConn. Burrow transferred, Hurts transferred, Nix at Oregon, it’s important even at the big schools.
