Georgia State Post Game Thread

[Blades]

Word is Mora “almost ripped Charlton’s head off right before the half”. Charlton has to be let go now. At least it will show we actually care about the program.
Meanwhile:
JMU scored 36 beating UVA
Rice scored 43 beating Houston
FIU scored 46 beating North Texas St.
Duke scored 42 beating Lafayette
We scored 14 in embarrassing loss.
Ta’Quan better be the QB to Ta’Qus forward or it’s over!

What's even more embarrassing is that URI and Kasim Hill threw for over 400 yds and put up 35 points vs GA St. but Mora and Charlton's plan was to play grind it out, pedestrian FB.

For history buffs the endless string of head coaches who can't win is reminiscent of the endless line of losing Generals Lincoln had to put up with in Civil War. Many thought that Mora was UC's "Grant". Right now, that might not be the case.

Unlike many on this board, I am not ready to quit following the team. No doubt about it, this game was a punch to the gut. I certainly don't feel any better this morning. But I still think that Mora can be UConn's General Grant. It will not be easy as there are no automatic wins among the future opponents. Even FIU scored 46 points yesterday. The entire team needs to dig deep and get better real fast.

This is conspiracy theory stuff.

Fagnano is more accurate and less turnover prone. Roberson is faster, more electric, and more likely to make the big play.

They chose the safe, ball control option because they thought our margin of error was too small to survive turnovers.

I’m not defending that decision - just trying to see their reasoning instead of our ghosts.

That is RE mentality. I refuse to think Mora is devolving.

Best thing about this turkey was it was on espn plus so most people didn't watch it.

I paid $100 to watch this trash on ESPN+.

Things might even get worse.
How, you say?
The track of Hurricane Lee could take it close to Connecticut about next weekend. The European model, and predicted track of Hurricane Lee, possibly making landfall on late Friday, early Saturday.

 

[KryHavok]

My fear, other than the trepidation that UConn will slide into 1st place in ESPN’s bottom ten ranking, is that the less than stellar recruiting and lackluster offense AND defensive performances, and toss in Big12 and ACC passing over UConn AGAIN, all point to Mora packing it in this season. I’m not convinced we have good enough coaching. Last year’s team punched above their weight class, this year they have been measured and found wanting. I really want this team to do well.

 

[ktuck911]

Roberson played okay but I‘m not ready to say that was a silver lining from lastt night‘s game. Like to see him share snaps with ZT Next game and let best man win the job.

The issue aside from terrible coaching is our players are constantly being outplayed in “one to one” battles on both the OL and DL.

People criticize Rosa - okay fair but he has no where to go.

Why is it when our RB look to run it always look like a 1 on 4 battle where when opposing QB Runs they’ve got 10 yards to run before they actually run into a UConn Defensive Player?

Something is terribly wrong with our program - like wheels have come off.

What happened in the off season?

Solid point about one on one battles for BOTH our OL and DL... but, seems like it's scheme on O moreso...on D, so far, seems like our O puts us in a hole, which creates more issues for our D.
We need more balance. No excuses.

Agree but that was last week. I was simply giving us a glimpse at our (not too rosy) future.

 

[Hoophound]

Is Mazzone available?

It appears so. He’s semi retired and putting offenses together for some high schools. I’m not sure if he’d leave them in the lurch or not.

He and Mora are buddies. I felt Mazzone was a 7 day miracle worker. I’d love to see him help us finish this season and then reevaluate. He’d get the best out of Roberson and Joly for sure.

 

[ktuck911]

Word is Mora “almost ripped Charlton’s head off right before the half”.

If this happened it should've. Accountability.
This is FBS football. Trying to grow the program back to respectability. Last night was (with how lethargic they look until it was way too late) not encouraging at all.

 

[Blades]

Agree but that was last week. I was simply giving us a glimpse at our (not too rosy) future.

True and the fact that everyone else is playing chess ( including URI) while Mora/Charlton want to play checkers and think they can win 14-10 games in CFB on a consistent basis, SMH! ( Rugby scrums and hand offs into the pile, Larry Csonka or even Robert Burns, where have you gone, LOL!)

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

The 3rd and 17 after we should have declined the hold leading to 4th down and we lined up like 8-0-1-1-1you could just tell the QB was going to go straight up the middle for a zillion yards

 

[Guru13]

Teams stacked the box last year and we didn't have much of a passing game, yet we were still able to run it. I think rhey miss Robert Burns a lot more than most people think.

Teams stacked the box and we made them pay, we have an undersized center too

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

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.

0% chance he steps on campus

 

[gwhuskyfan]

One play call that still kinda mind boggling to me. Down 28-0, 4th and 2 at midfield and we punt. That’s when you knew game was truly over

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Four weeks until hockey’s opener at Colgate.

That’ll be a 7-2 loss

 

[Chief00]

Things might even get worse.

The track of Hurricane Lee could take it close to Connecticut about next weekend.

I was thinking in the spirit of UConn football the track might move west a little. That’s all we need.

 

[Stinger92860]

Lmao the worst part is the system he has for “his guy” looks terrible! He needs to be fired tomorrow.

If they do that, which I doubt, they should give Marinelli a shot. Maybe have him call the plays for now. Something has to change, becuase this is not working. We don‘t have the luxury of time to get this moving.

 

[Chief00]

Mora is a defensive coach in theory. Despite the lack of defense in weeks one and two.
He needs an OC he can turn the keys over to and focus on defense. This guy is clearly not it.

 

[Stinger92860]

Word is Mora “almost ripped Charlton’s head off right before the half”. Charlton has to be let go now. At least it will show we actually care about the program.

can you or anyone else here add a bit more color to this information? I’d lIke to know what Mora is thinking and what he wants to see versus actual.

I paid $100 to watch this trash on ESPN+.

After subscribing at 6:55 pm, I called customer service and cancelled at half time, and they gave me my money back. I had to speak to a supervisor to do it.

UConn football disappointed in Atlanta, loses 35-14 to Georgia State

The UConn football team lost its second game of the year in disappointing fashion, 35-14, to Georgia State on Saturday. Ta’Quan Roberson avoided a shutout with two late touchdowns.

“It’s just inconceivable to me that this happened to us, but it did. And we’re an 0-2 football team that just got beat soundly by what I think is a good Georgia State team and we have to do a lot of soul-searching,” Mora said. “Because right now we’re not very good. To run the ball 31 times for 50 yards and turn the ball over the way we did is not very good. And you know what? It all starts with this guy that’s talking right now. Everyone in (the locker room) has to look at themselves hard, and it starts with me. So that’s what we’ll do.”
