Grainger ran for 142 yard on 12 carries. UConn ran for 50 yards on 31 carries. We can't stop the run, especially from QB's with wheels, and, save for Rosa's explosive plays last week, our run game is anemic at best.

Just a lack of cohesion. On his designed runs he looks tentative . So why have designed runs for a QB clearly not comfortable with that part of his game?

Roberson has his risks. But even with 200+ in the second half which was essentially two quarters of garbage time the offense clicked a bit better.

The question is will Charlton actually call the plays to put them in a position to compete.

I have doubts.

Roberson has to be the guy. Has to be.

Why is the defense getting a pass? They stunk.

I hope they are not getting a pass from anyone on here. They deserve an F, too. They are reminding me of the 2018 team is it? The one that was worst FBS defense ever. They just can't tackle. I know people said last week that the atrocious tackling was due to NC State being superior athletically and being bigger and stronger, which I agree with. What is the excuse for this week against Georgia State? If people want to say Ga State has better athletes that are bigger and stronger then that means UConn and Mora are not recruiting worth a damn. UConn should be able to get better players than Ga State.

Need a much better offensive scheme for multiple reasons. Not only to win but to attract talent. Cant win when horrible defenses are cheating on every play by stacking the line. More RPOs, vertical passing, QB draws, etc.. You could do that more with Roberson than Joe F. Starting the low-ceiling Joe F. over Roberson was a bad call by Mora (along with hiring the OC). I think he lost the locker-room. Hope its not too late.

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.

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.

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.
 
Mora was brought in to help with recruiting. It hasnt worked so far. This team needs an infusion of talent on both sides of the ball, including playmakers.
 
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.
 
One thing I noticed is that they blitzed or stacked the box and UConn didn't adjust till it was too late

The good news is I don’t think it got worse.

The bad news is it was more due to guys getting blown up at the line and not even being in position to attempt to make a tackle.

Coaches are stubborn, "we don't run spy" .... I would have to believe unless its a serious injury Fagnano will be the guy next week. Its also why they continue to run Houston up the middle etc. My guess is Mora will chalk Robersons success up to Georgia State not running their main D

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.

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.

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.
 
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.

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