Whitmer is 9-13-126-1-1. Have him pass WAY more!

 

[whaler11]

WTF are they playing against?

New Hampshire. It's 61-61

 

[junglehusky]

Yeah on D - WMU seemed to have very little problems with our blitzes. Carder getting the ball out quickly and to the right guy. I'm not an X's and O's guy but we have to do something to change the rhythm.

 

[Adios]

Old Dominion's QB has 722 yards passing and it's still the 4th quarter.

Invite them to the BE! And embarrass us??

We definitely should shed the wildcat. At best, have McCummings line up as a second QB (as ULM does) or convert him to another position.

Make McCummings a running back. We can't have McCoombs getting ankle tackled all the time. And McCummings could throw on occasion.

We really need to score on this first possession.

Put McCombs, Whitmer and McCummings back there at the same time. Then we can feel love for Deleone.

Same deal as last year. Having a veteran QB & WR's may have helped in that regard. Having never trailed against us in either game (to date) likely didn't hurt either.

This is critical. A score would give us a ton of momentum.

The two most surprising things are how are D Backs are getting beat consistently, and our pass rush is so ineffective. It's like our D has been reading and basking in it's press clippings. If we can sustain the 2nd half opening drive and score--and then become more dispuptive on D we can win this game. We need to use Nick Williams on some slant and go routes and let our big TE's catch it in traffic. That will open McCombs for screens, draws and flares, and let Davis run free for some deeper routes. O-line protection will be key to whether any of this is possible. Incidently, notwithstanding the bad wildcat snap, I've heard the team actually thinks Bullock should be starting over Mateas, but that Alex is DeLeone's guy from P State and up till now he wouldn't concede the point. Now it's Bullock's turn. We'll see if the players are correct.

Announcer is right on the nail. We did too much of the wildcat and got out of rhythm! Deleone is worse than I thought.

 

[gars44]

Alex Carder had a career day against us last year. He has every reason to be confident and he's showing it. Kid is the real deal.

 

[uconnbaseball]

FFCTFan-We actually did lead them 31-24 last year before Wilburn was burned twice by Ravenall.

 

[jdb50]

The D can't give up more than one TD this half or were're cooked. That's not a good place to be in.

For some reason I thought all we did was tie the game twice late.

My bad.

 

[Adios]

I hope we don't run here....

 

[Jax Husky]

Who is "Mitchell"?

 

[Adios]

I hope we don't run here....

Why the am I not surprised?!

 

[uconnbaseball]

Better run by Lyle.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Why are we calling deep passes? They are wasted plays that accomplish nothing and throw off our rhythm. Intermiedate play action passes should be used if we want chunks of yardage.

Good drive so far.

 

[Adios]

Deleone is mixing it up?!? Miracles happen! I need more beer!

 

[BugsyCT]

Nice - Davis making a few catches now. Let's go!

 

[Skiblets]

Whitmer's going to get killed out there

 

[SAMCRO]

New drinking game. Every time announcer says ankle tackle about McCombs you take a shot. I'm sh!tfaced already

 

[Jax Husky]

Mitchell is awesome
