Houston Game Thread- BEAT THE COOGS

[UConnDan97]

And at least 12 overall.

I'm not saying that we should never punt. But on the road, as a severe underdog, down multiple touchdowns....you just can't punt in their territory. You just can't. It makes you an idiot if you do. It makes you crazy if you do it 6 times...

 

[Skiblets]

So Herman in his second year has that much more talent than Fiasco in his third?? Why does he deserve a fourth? Team had back slid

 

[Chief00]

Hey @Chief00 - we're still waiting. You ain't slinking away on this one.

Huskymedic - please read. He can and is using his redshirt year - he never used it at UConn.

I am not happy with the way this season has gone but let's wait till the Cinci game, show up and support the team and see if we can rebound and give this season some hope. I saw some potential with the offense tonight.

Well, I'll still be at the Cincy game, rooting for our boys....

Something tells me that I'll inevitably end up in the stands, but God I hope that I don't

I think it's the other way around....you're crazy if you do it once....but you are monumentally stupid if you do it 6 times.

 

[Chief00]

Playing against EKU backups. Noice, bro.

Their offense is better designed than ours.

Not only that, down as much as they were in the 4th quarter. At least TRY to make something happen. When you don't you're just admitting defeat. Cannot rely on the defense when you're down 4-5 scores. The game is over unless the offense makes something happen. But coach didn't give them a chance after halftime.

I agree Chief. Boyle was a very good quarterback. It's a shame he couldn't stay at UConn and take a crack at breaking the career interceptions record.

 

[huskyinfl]

Diaco called the first what, 6 games of his first season as preseason, yet won't use a live game to get better?

"Monumentally" is the perfect word. They should build a statue with a plaque that says, "don't be like Fish Cake guy"...

My post was more an observation of the offense as a whole, not just in Houston territory.

 

[JcHusky95]

I'm fine with it because we get some backups in to the game.....no one gets hurt....and honestly...Herman wasn't gonna take the foot off the gas till Diaco called uncle.

I'm not happy we're in that position mind you.....but we were....

So why play football at all? Anyone who has ever played organized football at any level knows that each play is special to the players. Especially players like a backup QB or RB that doesn't get to play much in real games.

More proof from the Kentucky side - the plan is to red shirt him.

Yes - he does have a redshirt year available BUT that is clearly not what you said.

Quite frankly - let me break this to you gently at a 3rd grade level - Boyle must sit out a year per NCAA transfer rules.

Nice try. Must have thought you were talking to third graders.

 

[BNich]

Assuming this one will go over looked. I'm Flying to CT in the morning. Hoping to return to the state I remember and not a state of ruins. Stay safe everyone and sleep peacefully. See you in the morning.

Don't ever change.

ECU has a coach who is an offensive guru and he will be P5 before Diaco. He knows QB talent and how to develop it.

You said he was required to sit. Not to be mean but you're doubling down on bullscalito now.

 

[Walker11]

Just another game where the outcome isn't an outrage but the way we got there is. Bob is comfortable for the season but I sure wish he wasn't.

Not only do you go for it on every 4th down, you onside kick after the TD. Just because Houston took their foot off the gas doesn't mean you have to. Show some guts. Show your team you have confidence in them. Show them quitting is not an option. You don't just submit. It doesn't send the right message to the players, or the fan base.

They are red shirting him so he must sit.

LMAO - Whatever helps you sleep @ night.
