Fagnano Out For Year- Roberson New Starter

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.

Its not all play calling. We've led FBS in drops i believe or are near the top. I wholeheartedly agree with you on the series post the INT. That was the same ole same ole conservative CT approach We've seen forever.

Key point here. We got huge plays in the passing game yesterday from Ross and Joly. Tow guys recruited to come here out of HS. Clercius also showed up big. Too much of this season was wasted trying to establish Porter, Buckman and even Burns as playmakers in the passing game. Why? Were the guaranteed playing time/starting roles to come here?

UConn fans are so quick to embrace mediocrity.

One good game and they let Charlton off the hook.

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.

Every program is recruiting a QB every season.
 
Roberson has done his part the last two games but let's not pretend he' a top QB. I'll settle for a top QB for us, which means protect the ball and make a few plays when called upon. He's done that and that's terrific but our defense (their offense) handed us 3 TDs.

Anyone who says Charlton/Mora should have ridden Robeson, Rosa, Joly, Ross, and Clercius from day 1 are probably correct.

He’s progressing. Which is all we can ask for. Wish we had a state of the art OC so that we could play without an arm tied behind our backs.

If you want a program that recruits good offensive players then have a state of the art offense.

What hook? That you and the others are so invested in Charton as problem you can't even give credit where credit is due; doesn't mean an embrace of mediocrity. I get the feeling you and West Coast are rooting against the offence for "I told you so" purposes.

I agree. Charlton has shown he does not pack the gear to lead our troops. His judgment is off from QB1 at the start of the year to play calling.

I see the same flaws as before, every throw will be an adventure. We can only hope the mistakes don't turn wins in to losses. Charlton is taking extra heat (in addition to his own) for being careful with him, but I'll happily take these last two games as the typical performance for the rest of the season.

What credit? We scored 38 because of the defense. Back to reality.

His throws were on target. Only 4 incompletions. He anchored that offense yesterday.

His biggest flaw is he stares guys down. Look at the "dime" he dropped in to Clercius as an example. This allows good DBs to bait into bad throws. Rice didn't have any of those. If he can find the burst he showed against Utah State to start last year he will be serviceable next year. Arm talent is there. The post to Ross was 55 yards in the air on the money.

While Roberson isn't perfect, but he has shown he is capable when given the opportunity.

He has his flaws, but he made some good throws yesterday. The only bad one was when he rolled right and overthrown the WR. I hope Charleston let him freelance more or at least let him audible when he sees the defense stacking the line on multiple occasions. Running up the middle when the opponent defense is stacking the line is like the hope and pray play that often resulting in our RB getting stuffed.

Let the kid play. I think he can do much more than what's shown so far.

I had the same thought when Fagnano was named the #1 after camp.

I did not see the game as I had to listen online. I agree with your premise here but snap situation must have improved over what we saw in the UT ST game. Multiple bad snaps cost a lot in that one.

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.

I blame the wide receiver for not knowing where the sticks are. They both deserve criticism
