Maybe We Needed Another Year Off

[SportsFan88]

QB was missing dudes all day smh couldn’t get the run game goin and we might as well have thrown Steve K in he couldn’t of done any worse

 

[Purple Stein]

107 yards of offense, guys.

107 yards.

We played 60 minutes and moved the ball one football field.

107 yards.

I know the QB's missed on a bunch of throws, but this is also what happens when you hire a career OL coach to be an offensive coordinator. We drew up a handful of decent plays that didn't work out. Most teams nowadays are drawing up several decent plays per drive.

At least they'll have 3 weeks to prepare for Clemson

 

[arch]

Seriously, we’re not going to actually show up for that game, are we? Seriously.

 

[Husky68]

I guess my "what would happen if Clemson and UConn are both undefeated when they meet" is out.

Can they just send the check?

Krajewski should’ve started the second half and have time to prepare for it. Not throw him late in the fourth quarter and have him launch a 50 yard pass on his first throw. It might’ve connected had the receiver not been interfered with.

 

[Calhoun's Court]

Steven Krajewski should have played the entire second half.
Made zero sense not to do it.

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

Gotta be the most disheartening part of that game. Fresno is a great offensive team. They are not a great defensive team. Yet... UConn was beyond inept.

Special teams looked good. McFadden seems like the real deal. Smart move doing punts also...otherwise he would get no work.

Defense looks marginally better.

Offense...the same. Not sure if it is players or scheme...but it's most likely both.

Rhett Lashlee had no trouble getting us to move the ball in his first year here using terrible players. We have better, faster players now than we did then. It is the coaching that’s killing us.

Being outmanned is one thing, we were playing a different game than Fresno. Our offense looked like it had a high school game plan and we waited way too long to switch QBs. I don’t blame Giufre, it could be his fault but this sure looks like standard Randy ball to me. Randy needs to evaluate, recruit and manage. He’s got to have good and empowered coordinators do the rest.

 

[Tdaley]

Go get a real OC and not complain about the offense "scoring too fast, and putting pressure on the defense". That would be a start.

I could not agree with you more!

 

[Yup!]

107 yards of offense, guys.

107 yards.

Lmao

 

[BugsyCT]

I think after what we witnessed today that we the fans could use another year off.

How is it possible for them to be this consistently profoundly awful?

I agree with you 100% but that isn't Edsall. He is a control freak and will never give up up control all aspects of his team.

 

[Improviser]

How many years did it take for the Cubs to win a world series, so how many years until UConn has a winning season or close to one?

Boys v Men today

 

[BlueDogs]

The sheer stupidity of taking a year off on full display.

There is a collective willing stupidity among some to swallow the line of BS from the program time and time again.

I’d like to think that’s the case and nothing more. Yes, we are very, very young, but the offense is just bland garbage. As I said before, Rhett Lashlee moved the ball easily with far less physical talent on the field. I can’t emphasize the “far less talent” part enough. Diaco had recruited players that were almost entirely FCS and lower recruiting targets.

Randy is bringing in much better, higher rated players but this brand of offense just won’t work these days without completely dominating players on the roster.

 

[RedStickHusky]

I pray the most improvement is game 1 to 2.

That could be true and not matter at the same time.

They should at least sprinkle in a few 'gimmick plays' to keep it interesting and possibly keep the defense guessing.
I watched some of the game and UConn offense lacks speed - so plays like jet sweeps are out. Not sure I saw a single screen.
Granted it was 120 degrees on the field - but it was 120 degrees for both teams

When we got our bid to the Fiesta Bowl I thought it was the greatest thing to ever happen to UConn football. It has been a boot stomping our face ever since...at some point we get back up, right?

 

[ktuck911]

Remember when @ktuck911 kept saying “pin this up” whenever an article came out saying UConn was going to be bad, like they were sooo wrong? I remember.

YEAH I said that... and as a man I own it... where have you been? Don't come talking about what somebody said when you can be a man up in here and voice opinions... Own your own mess...

 

[DoctorWho85]

How about the guy that gave him that role in the first place.

Because if you fire Edsall now, I'm pretty sure Guifre gets the nod as interim. And do you want him having full control over the program?

Don’t blame the coach for inability to throw farther than 10 yards downfield. Lost 1-2 tds with overthrows. The 1st was a dagger.
We need to find another Casey Cochran, who only wins, despite not having a cannon.
