FAU Post Game Thread

That was the most disappointing win I have watched in a long time. The defense was terrible in tackling and just doing the basics.

I am glad they won, but the defense needs to do stairs and work on tackling the next couple of weeks after today's display.
 
FAU Game in a nutshell:

1763858265815.png
 
1: We really missed Mel Brown, great having him back

2: Joe Fagnano, Skyler Bell, and Cam Edwards are incredible. We may never see another trio like this

3: I hope a lot of our money goes toward revamping the defense next year. In addition to finding a new DC

We can be frustrated with Brock, but our D can be just horrible at tackling at times.

I swear that 400+ yards of FAU’s offense was a result of missed basic tackles, bad pursuit angles, and just plain bad basic defensive IQ.

I think it might be the end of the road for him. At some point we’ll be playing a more difficult SOS and this D won’t hold up against top tier competition.

You should be fired for giving up nearly 700 yards as a DC. There is no excuse under the sun that allows that to happen to 3 win G5 squad. If I was the HC his bags would be packed tomorrow.

We could bring in another DC but they still couldn't tackle.

It's the internet era. It happens at all levels. People are going for the big hit, the spectacular play, rather than getting the guy on the ground.

Someone just said in the chat we could be the worst 12-0 team in history, we almost had it.

It sounds harsh but it's true, it also means we've come a long way.

Brock doesn't seem too good at his job, offense has been humming all year. That's the reverse of our better teams.

That was me. I’m not sure I wanted that the distinction. Somehow it would hurt us, like losing in the Fiesta Bowl by a few too many points.
 
The D was gassed by the middle of the 3rd qtr. 80 degrees, down a few guys and then they looked shellshocked. No idea what some of our DR'S were doing in the 4th qtr. Safeties can't let guys get behind them.

That said, the Offense was even better than that putrid defense. We have 1 more game to hopefully watch an amazing offense that will be very hard to replicate. Last year we got back to respectability. This yr we are drawing more attention to the program and players. This program is on a march to making the case for P4 faster than the Big 12 or ACC could expect

I was waiting for the defense running wind sprints after the game. No such luck.

Yeah only way you get those Dline and lock down CBs is with loads of NIL. Given the players we got through the portal it appears we spent all our NIL on the offense.

I’m ok with that. Offense sells tickets and draws eyes.

This team is probably around the level of our 2012 squad, which had an insane defense and God awful offense. That team went 5-7, vs a tough schedule. It was torture to watch them week in and week out, even though they picked up some legitimate wins & the kicker screwed them out of a bowl game vs Temple. Despite the problems, I have enjoyed watching the team this year.

How in the fffffff did we win that?

Because myself and a large number of UConn fans said "miss it!" when FAU was lining up for the kick. It was our only hope. Just listening to the game on radio via UConn+ was nerve-wracking but at least I did not have to watch our defense. The final UConn drive was something. Especially with Rosa in and dropping the pass. Once Cam was back in I knew we would score.

Maybe the defense had a collective memory lapse, and though they were playing touch football. 🙃
 
Weird game, at times we looked unstoppable, then average.

They made big time plays and took chances on many 4th down plays. Credit to them

Our defense needs work

Not to nitpick, but some of the play calling was frustrating. There's a time to take a shot down the field, but not when you need to extend the clock and control the ball.

We were not stopping them, and on a third down late in the game the drew up a deep ball when just going for the first down would have kept their offense off the field. I didn't understand that play call at all.

Glad their kicker missed, but if they had a little more time on the clock, we might have lost that game.

Fagnano, Edwards and Bell all had a solid game.

We're lucky to come out of there win a win. Winning ugly is what we did today, and that's okay, but if they don't work on the defense in the bowl game against a bigger opponent it's gonna be a long day.
