Newsome gotta catch

 

[UconnFamily]

Mayala was wide open... Smh

 

[Jarhead_1775]

Pure shat

 

[Storrsbred]

QB gotta look around a little. Had time.

 

[Huskygrad88]

Supposedly great week of practice.... Tells me bad schemes. Don't understand how you don't bring blitzes interior and off edge after getting abused on the edge all day long.

You do know Navy put up 45 points and over 450 yards offense just last week right?

It's what separates an average qb from a great. But at least average is an upgrade from what we've had the last half decade.

 

[Jimdish255]

Shirreffs is pretty good but making him suddenly have to pass under pressure and playing from behind always makes the job tougher. We let this one slip away.

 

[NHUConnfan]

...so you're saying there is a chance...

 

[Jimdish255]

Plenty of beatable teams in this conference. Navy one of the toughest 3-4 teams we face this year.

 

[MuchoDogYears]

Navy has nice looking cheerleaders. Totally unexpected.

 

[Jimdish255]

Pretty obvious blitz then interference.

 

[BlueDogs]

Why run routes short of the 1st down

 

[Storrsbred]

Sherriffs is a huge improvement, but really not more than a very average QB, IMO. He is doing his best, I'm sure.

 

[BlueDogs]

Had chances. Not ready to take them. Glimpses of hope for the future. Gotta play a much more aggressive game. Game plan looked like dats of old

 

[Scoe]

D playing with Pride where was this from the beginning.

 

[UconnFamily]

Mayala looks pretty good.

 

[Jimdish255]

This has been disappointing on a couple of levels. But for a fumble recovery though it could be tied or us in the lead.

 

[Stainmaster]

At this point, I'm just pissed that a dumbs.hit penalty wiped out a kid's first career catch. Even the little things aren't going right.

Like last week full of couldas, wouldas and shouldas.

 

[UconnFamily]

That's what an aggressive defense gives you. Good job by Navy on that series

 

[UconnFamily]

That raps it up. 2-2 on to BYU.

 

[chuck shick]

Can Knappe block? It's not good that he gives up a sack or takes a penalty every week.

 

[Jimdish255]

We got too tentative given the opponent and the game situation. Stilled pissed at the refs but hopefully their complete incompetence evens out as the season progresses.

 

[housekeys]

Well, we can get revenge at the AAC Championship game.

 

[chuck shick]

Newsome caught that ball they reviewed.

[Santini35]

Newsome caught that ball they reviewed.

And we recovered 2 fumbles that they didn't want to give, plus they sure wanted to give them the onsides

 

[Srqhusky]

What does it take to break the 20 point barrier?

3 more points...

 

[huskyinfl]

I still love this team and it will be fun watching them improve. Glad to have something to believe in after last season.

 

[cohenzone]

The team is improved. They can move the ball. There were some very questionable short yardage 3rd dowm play calls on our first few drives that resulted in losses or no gain. We definitely can move the ball. On D, the most disappointing thing through midway through the 3rd quarter was the constant inability to beat anyone to the corner.

I think Sherriffs is okay, but his greatest problem is that he's just inaccurate enough to miss being totally effective. By that I mean he tends to under lead several passes so the receiver is reaching a bit behind, or he is under throwing low. Balls that are marginally catchable or maybe not realistically catchable at all. A little sharper and we become much more effective. But he is able to move the ball and the team I think is headed in the right direction. We definitely have a fine receiving core and I was glad to see Newsome used so often. When all this materializes into Wsof course is the question.

As for attendance, it seemed okay but not great. Still too many choice seats that are empty but sold or occupied by fans of the visitors. I know because it's constantly that way in my 50 yard line upper deck section and I know that almost all those seats within at least 5-6 rows of me up and down are sold to seasons ticket holders.
