Maryland post game thread

[mike012]

Any P4 game we play in is realistically a body bag game. We maybe go 3-5 in cusa and I don’t even know who is in that conference.

 

[UConnJim]

Any word whether Evers will be available next week? I am concern that he may have suffered a concussion. We haven't had much luck last couple of years keeping our starting healthy.

I think they pulled him because it was his first start against probably UConn's toughest opponent, his first real game in 3 years, the game was lost, and he was struggling. He seemed to be OK on the sidelines after the hit.

I didn't get to see the game but I read a comment in Maryland's forum where someone said UConn had the ball on MD's 30 1st and 10 and ran the ball 3 straight times and came up with nothing. The person's comment to UConn was "at least try!" So, I don't t know who was getting the ball but it looks like, at least in that case, we need to pass more.

I was in the stands. Cam got off a nice run in their first drive, then didn’t see the ball again. Maybe it looked like a lot of running - designed QB runs and rollouts that turned into scrambles. But, it felt like run, pass, pass, punt every time they touched the ball. Our defense was absolutely gassed - constantly on the field. Superior opponent, sure - but terrible game management on our part.

The underutilization of Cam and Victor while there was rollout after rollout was frustrating. We needed to grind more, use the clock and get first downs.

No. Less running, more passing.

Did Cam get hurt?

The DBs were giving so much space, anyone could have made catches. We’ve seen this movie before and if this is the future we are screwed. Everyone gets fired in 3.5 months Without an abrupt change.

Wasn't the secondary down 4 starters due to injuries and the ejection?

Tough to win with back ups on D.

 

[CL82]

Meh. It's only one game but I think this year's team is worse than last year's. The good news is we should have won 5 games last year so I think we can still win 4-5 this year, but I'm not exactly enthused.

I think we're better. Just the fact that someone explained to the staff that you are allowed to run back kicks open up a whole new world of possibilities.

 

[CL82]

I'm going to give the staff some slack on Rosa since it's been reported that he's been hurt. But between him and Edwards there should be 30 touches per game.

They had 11. Combined. What are we doing?

What's the report on Rosa? I wondered why he didn't get more burn.

 

[Kolumbo]

I didn't get to watch the game and I am debating reading through 10 pages of what I expect to be our usual BY One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest analytics. I can only wonder, is Maryland like some dark horse CFP contender which we just happened to schedule on the wrong year, or do we suck this badly? We have a propensity for catching even mediocre teams on their best years.

 

[superjohn]

CT resident and it would Be cool to have a legit program in the state. Maybe it is sacrilege among the husky alums here but Is it inappropriate to at least ask “At what point is UConn v Maine a much more enjoyable fall Sat than watching this nonsense over n over?“.

Maybe it is a necessary cash dump in order to maybe stay in the running for a Big 12 type of lifeline. But, at what cost? And for how long is it ok that much of that maybe remains a pipe dream?

Dont know the answers and I probably will get blasted for asking the question . but, have folks said, “ we belong in the CAA like Maine, UNH and URI“ ?

I would have no interest in that. We will likely have a decision to make, keep trying to make this football thing work and dump a lot more money into it or get rid of it. I have zero interest in UConn dropping down and playing UNH, Maine, and URI. If they're going to get rid of it, really get rid of it so we don't spend another dime on it and we don't have to match it with Title IX scholarships.

We suck this badly, Georgia could drop 100 on us in a shutout if they felt like it.

What happened to Edwards? He's our stud.

 

[Redding Husky]

As a coach once said, “We’re small, but we make up for it by being slow”.

 

[Kembafan]

This is depressing. Why even talk about it anymore?

 

[LoyalFanCT]

I thought our new defensive coordinator from the SEC was supposed to be great. It didn't look so in today's game.

 

[RSTuthill]

We suck this badly, Georgia could drop 100 on us in a shutout if they felt like it.

With only their 2's and 3's playing.

 

[JMick]

What happened to Edwards? He's our stud.

Rosa was getting recruited by SEC schools as a WR. Why we don't have two back sets with him and Edwards, where one is motioning out to the slot, is beyond me.

 

[JMick]

He was hurt during camp but I also don't think Mora likes him. Which is wild because he's clearly one of our most explosive players. He shows it on the field

I've wondered about that as well. For whatever reason Mora just doesn't seem like a fan.

 

[JMick]

It seems like ever since he tumbled into the end zone he's been on his s list

 

[Purple Stein]

Probably time to just look forward.
Maryland is more skilled, funded and deeper. Middle part of the schedule will be more telling.

I think this one was pretty telling in itself.

 

[Hskies4Ever]

What did anyone expect. I mean really. A line coach with no OC reps jumps into a FCS game against a P4. Just ridiculous and it showed.

No OC has experience until they do.
