Maine Game Thread

[JMick]

If you are kicking from 37 you can forget kicking after a bad snap. It's 55 if you are lucky.

Nah. You tell the holder if the snap is bad, drop to your knee. Then it's a 42 yarder.

Good for the players but storm clouds still hang over this staff. This is nowhere's near acceptable for year 3. It's a negative mindset and idiotic game management.

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

why wouldn't you run a dive play get 2-3 yards and stay in the middle

New things, they're called potential fumbles.

Maine one upped Diaco wasting their last timeout.

Yes, that was equally stupid, but their coach is a 30 year old first time coach in the FCS

Meanwhile Louisville hangs 70 points on a team.

In case the snap gets screwed up, you can spike and you get another try.

Yes buthe 16 seconds is too much time to leave. The in game coaching still leaves a ton to be desired.

OK.....so I can't leave this dumpster fire without noting a positive (never go to bed angry right).....Postives....few penalties...few (1) injury that I saw.

There.....that's all I've got.

What are you talking about.. that was a thrilling contest between two competitive CAA teams. Maine's kicker handed the home team the game, but the win keeps the Huskies in the hunt for FBS honors.

It doesn't put a damper on the season, but it was a pathetic performance we gotta play better. This is Diaco's 3rd season in its time to raise the bar, if you want Uconn to take the next step then this performance has to be unacceptable. Im sorry but I'm not gonna give Uconn credit for beating Maine. Time to move forward and get better from this.

Meh, thay also have standards lower than Housatonic Valley Cc and their players

 

[Scoe]

Well Tennessee is in a tied game with Appalachian.

Time runs out.

You need to throw it into the dirt near a player.

If we can find a way to win 6 more regular season games, no one will really care what the score of this one was.

ESPN SPORTS UPDATE: CAA BOD unimpressed with UConn's 24-21 victory over Maine in a unanimous decision have decided to invite CCSU as a football only member.

 

[CallMeBruce]

The odds of a player having that awareness are so slim. At that point it is a scramble play. You just plan to go to OT if you dont get the kick.

Awareness to do the thing you're told to do? That's pretty standard practice. Why go to OT when you can have another kick? None of what you're saying makes sense.

we had a timeout

Ok. It is that simple. You're right.

Very true at the end of the day a win is a win, I'm just saying if this performance is acceptable then we won't get better from this, gotta play better thats all.

 

[upstater]

We spent the 3rd timeout on the play before the kick. No more timeouts.

 

[Jax Husky]

we had a timeout

No we didn't. We used the last TO before the kick. A bad snap, and we would not have had a TO. Either way though, I'd run the clock to at leaest :7

 

[MASSconn]

Win is a win. As Bill B would say best "We're on to Navy." Get out the film

Yep, we all just need to pretend that that was the worst we'll play all year. We will have much better performances (and maybe a couple not so much better)

 

[CL82]

A win is a win, and surely better than a loss, but things did not look good out there at all. People can be as critical as they want about Bryant's skills, but you can't question that kids heart. He carried this team.

Good. Maybe the Cardinals will move to the B12, where they belong, and Maine can get their spot in the ACC.

There.....that's all I've got.

Special teams?

Bryant was good overall, I thought. Overthrew a few, but settled down nicely.
