Georgia State Post Game Thread

[Purple Stein]

I get you are not defending the decision, but how much of Charlton's reasoning was due to his own bias and ego about his system? Does Charlton's system have such a stellar reputation for being that great. He isn't Bill Walsh or Andy Reid where one could say, "okay rubber stamp his QB decision because it should fit his system". Or hell, Jamey Chadwell who did coach Coastal Carolina's high octane offense.

I would say he was absolutely biased to a degree. I don’t see this as nepotism, but I do think a tie in Charlton’s mind would go to Fagnano.

We’ll see how the season goes, but that does look like a mistake right now.

Definately one of the harder games to watch over the last decade or so. It was like trying run against Alabama.

We had 50 yards on 31 carries, that includes 9 yards on 7 carries from Houston, and 17 yards on 10 carries from Rosa. UGLY.

There should be no question after this game. It’s very telling that GSUs defensive game plan was clearly to stack the box and make Fagnano beat them through the air and he couldn’t make anything happen. GSU did not respect Fagnano as a passer one bit and they were right unfortunately.

Exactly. It was evident from the beginning. They simply crunched some numbers and surmised to take away the running game at all costs knowing UConn's passing game (QB and WRs) can't punish them consistently with gains. Ga State basically said, "they might complete a few passes but it won't be nearly enough to alter the outcome of the game whereas their running game is their only chance so let's stop that at all costs".

Lot of people throwing darts at Charlton (and deservedly so) but the buck stops with Mora.

Pretty inexcusable to go into a season with this "quarterback room" particularly in this day and age of the portal. Kids are going all over the place and he signs off on a guy who put up middling stats at Maine of all places.

 

[gsmooth]

Is what we saw tonight even fixable? It seems to be a perfect storm of personnel and sideline ineptitude. Tackling somehow got worse week 1 to week 2 .... playcalling as well.

That's the concerning thing. I am not sure it is. I hope this post doesn't age well.

Yup. And Charlton didn't appoint himself OC, Mora hired him to be the OC so that blame belongs to Mora. Any goodwill from last year is completely gone after this game. I just hope we don't have a repeat of Diaco where he had a 6-7 season with a bowl game loss to Marshall only to completely fizzle out in 2016.

The running game starts up front, and I though the O-line looked especially poor tonight. No holes for the backs. GSU D-line busting through regularly, and our QB's did not have a lot of time to throw the ball. Disappointing given that 4 starters on the O-line are back and Haynes is on a couple of watch lists.

Canceled plans for Tennessee and JMU

2 Cents...At the UVA/JMU game today in Charlottesville, JMU 36-35. JMU "O", their QB is going to give us trouble....

 

[noeynox]

They can stop with the "oh so icy" #PackTheRent, REstored BS and try to put together a competent product on the field. Beyond tiresome that we continue to struggle to have a competent offense.

Every opposing team's QB gives us trouble. Our fan base has been waiting a very long time for the vise versa

 

[Scoe]

New Hampshire put up 42 on Central Michigan and don’t tell me oh well it’s WMU, we wouldn’t have put up half those pts not even close because we saw that URI put up 35 on Ga State last week.

There goes the theory of oh we’re a New England state.

It is a night like tonight, getting obliterated in an empty stadium that sounded like a railroad depot, when Mora must question if this independent program that got passed over for another P4 spot is truly worth the time and effort.

 

[FillTheRent]

Plenty of blame to go around. The lack of effort was the most disappointing aspect of the game for me. My 9 year old daughter asked me why the UCONN players weren't running after the other team's QB when he broke the long touchdown run. She's maybe watched 15 min of football in her entire life, and that was her one comment about the game today. The lack of effort was that obvious. I think the lack of effort is also a big part of our tackling woes. There needs to be a desire to hit the other guy and drag him to the ground. I'm just not seeing the effort and desire.

 

[Skiblets]

Type of game we should’ve won 27-7. Garbage all around

 

[Brochacho]

My takeaway from this game is that Charlton won’t be employee by UConn next year (hopefully)

Unfortunately, that will be too late to save the program.

Maybe once we got passed over by the B12 the job lost some luster for him

 

[Jetskies]

our athletes are simply not it. i vote to stop celebrating any of the recruit commitment announcements, until we see something on the field the following year. No more "welcome to the pound", blah blah blah.

Waiting for Cole Welliver to de-commit and go somewhere real.

Does FIU have a running QB?

Even if we get them it doesn't matter... we lost Turner to Cinci, Carter to MSU and Marion to BYU... its a whole new world. Those players don't want to play for a Charlton style offense

 

[ThabeetDown]

Charlton/Fagnano fan boys would love reasoning why either should keep their job. URI TORCHED this team for 400. Please. Let it go. Maine Boys are trash.

sincerely hope this is untrue. He knew the deal and proved as much, by the way he spoke about the job in his opening press conference. AD did not lie to him. He knew the long road ahead and knew this was a shipwreck in need of a fix. did anyone in their right mind think one .500 year was gonna make P5/P4 take a serious look at us?

Stupidly, I did. Naïveté.

Good news- Basketball season tips off soon

Put it on the basketball board.

 

[shizzle787]

There is almost never an excuse to lose to a MAC, Sun Belt, or CUSA program. This is an unacceptable result.

Maybe we need the athletes that Holy Cross does who put up 28 pts or URI to put up 35 last week or UNH who put up 42.
