Gotta give guys chances to catch the ball in the end zone. our coaches seldom give our guys that opportunity .

Someone else said it in the thread, but on 2nd and 1, you can actually throw the ball. BS can always pick up 1 yard if the pocket collapses. No need to continue to call QB sneaks all damned day...

Already in FG range... how can you let someone get behind you with no time left? If there's one time to give some cushion, and it seems we do it more often than not...that's it. You can't get beat deep for the TD at that point. Just keep the play in front of you. Not smart football.
Did they have man cover on?

How about the roughing the passer call? It's not the FG's or Beals, this was poor defense. We had Milton scampering around for his life only to let him complete every pass.
The defensive lineman are slow as death. They bring no extra pressure with speed.

That's why I like Diggs as the first LB in. He seems to me to have the speed and mentality to clean all those plays up for the big boys...

Not impressed with Diaco's D. It's bends then breaks a lot. The whole theory is no big plays, yet we seem to give a lot of yardage and get ourselves into tough spots a lot.

Complete domination, and we're up by 2. This has the feel of turning into "one of those games." Hopefully we come out punching in the third quarter...

I can't remember when I've ever seen a UConn dback turn and look for the ball. They just play the man.
