Referees totally screwed us on the last fumble/drive. That timing fiasco let them save time and then have time to set up plays. Unreal.

 

[BlueDogs]

The level of D intensity is pitiful. They are tentative and not attacking. They need to attack and disrupt. Crash the D-ends. Blowup it up between the tackles. Hit the sh1thead QB every time with malice. He needs to be hurting badly.

 

[Jimdish255]

Hate to say but it should've been 12 seconds for Navy...

The time they actually used was never taken off the clock.

What did replays show on the fumble? Tough to tell in the stadium.

mcallister was the first to touch it and then he came up with it. So by any measure it should have been uconn ball

Couldn't see a thing .

 

[Stainmaster]

The point being that what Navy is doing to us is not a surprise.

Fair enough. I remember reading the prediction thread and seeing that only one person out of dozens predicted a loss. I think that this response is a problem of expectations.

whomever #22 is for UConn needs to be replaced. or coached. He literally is the target of 85% of Navy's plays and he hasn't made a play all half. One of the worst performances I've ever seen by safety, largely because he is never where he should be.

I'm sure someone touched on this, but if you are third and 2 from the 12 yard line and are planning to go for it, don't run a play that has a chance to lose yardage. and then still go for it. Mind-numbingly stupid. Diaco needs a common sense coach badly.

You watch these two teams and you see a staff that knows who they are, how to execute a plan and how to win. and then you have the UConn staff

Definitely a fumble. Impossible to tell who got it in the scrum but we came out with it. By any measure should have been UConn ball. not sure how Navy kept the ball.

And no way in the world was he down by contact. not even close. clearly a fumble and a Uconn came up with it. Just a hack job.

 

[Stinger92860]

Getting destroyed on edge runs too. We seem to never have enough guys outside the tackles

 

[Skiblets]

Navy's execution has been almost flawless. Understand how they blew out ecu

 

[Forte]

Ok so the qb is either going to keep it or toss it why can't we have both options covered? Statistically speaking they don't throw much so trust ur corners

 

[AZHuskiePop]

Navy executes the triple option well

We can still win but the offense has to have long meaningful possessions
Not kicking the FG was stupid ,this would be a one possession game.
Anything could happen in a one possession game.
The defense needs two or three stops

 

[Forte]

Why are our safeties playing like this is a down field team?

 

[NHUConnfan]

It's hard to get stops when there's a team that doesn't throw the ball. They're pretty much always making positive plays...even if it is just a short gain. Tough to make stops when their momentum is putting them forward.

I think your talking about #20. Adams is our play maker on defense. He's been on a lot of tackles. The LB's needs to get off these blocks and help out the safeties.

HCBD could learn something from this.......

Good luck with 2 or 3 D stops. Haven't seen anything that convinces me yet that is remotely possible.

they just said Adams has 13 tackles already.

 

[Skiblets]

Kicking the first field goal and not kicking the second was coaching malpractice. I

No he's correct Adams looks like crap and has been our weakness not obi

Exactly why we needed to score every time we touch the ball. Navy can score.

 

[Tommyboy]

How did that not go into the end zone?
