Boyle, Melifonwu

Who else is so awesome and talented on this roster that isn't barren ??

New head coach will need to bring in jucos if he wants any chance of competing.

So this is what rock bottom feels like? Sad day for UConn Football. This program used to play with so much pride and rarely ever get blown out unless we played top 5 talent. Now were getting blown out to the likes of Buffalo, and Cincinnati and losing to programs such as Western Michigan and Towsen. It's just sad stuff.

We better hope someone cares enough about this program to stop them from this free fall before we end up in College Football FCS.

Honestly it's a stretch and I'm not that big a fan of the guy. But once Greg Schiano gets fired from TB, we need to bring him in. Great motivator and great recruiter. At least we can compete with a guy like him.
If we lose to Temple, that will be rock bottom. We need someone better than Schiano.

My goal right now: Play better in the second half. Haven't played well in the second half all year. Win the second half.

Without Philips retuning kicks and receiving it's a long day for this team. Give Foley credit he has done something to spark the run game and pass protection.

By not acting when it was clear that P was a no-hoper, Manuel took ownership.
So I assume you stopped going to games and didn't renew your season tickets this year because Manuel didn't fire P after last season?

I wouldn't say completely barren. We definitely can use improvement in special teams and skill positions on offense. And in the secondary, too.

There is Boyle. When you stink at almost every position on the field you have a barren roster.

Davis and Phillips are fine but will be long gone by the time the team is competitive.

Lyle clearly back to his old tricks. Last week was an outlier.

Why in God's name would you assume that? I'm serious, how did you come up with that one?

I know things look bad now but its coaching and the emotional snowball effect of a bad season.

BTW have we ever played well in Cincy? Even our good teams stunk there.

Your statement about Manuel owning this because he didn't fire Pasqualoni after last season. Sounds like the statement of a fan who didn't renew because he brought him back.

That could be the worst insult I've ever received on the 'Yard. And I've had some doozies.

I'm not opposed to throwing Kivon Taylor out there for a few series to see what he can do. Why not? Let's evaluate EVERYBODY on our roster for 2014.

It's not all coaching.

No offense to their families but most of those guys are well below average AAC players.

That is not even close to a core that can even get to 6 wins and qualify for a bowl.

The best you could say is that there are a few they didn't set back so bad.

We just got "McCumming'd" - except he actually threw the pass on target. Wow this is bad. You could see this coming a mile away.
