Merrimack Post Game Thread

Check UConn+. They probably have the whole game. It ran long and they switched to the national game. I went to the game and dvred it, but it ended at 3.

I was there, too. My question is did Channel 3 switch to the national feed or did YouTubeTV?

I watched it all on UConn+, no problems.

Like I said…WFSB had to switch to the national game.

WFSB did. My dvr ends at 3. And I set it to end at 3:30 in case it ran long. The first half took forever. I would assume that YouTube used the WFSB feed.

Think we might have 4 real running backs, at least 3 of which are threats to catch it out of the backfield. That rocks

 

[cellocgg]

Perfect game to have for a home opener. Student Section already looked packed, they should stick around for more

 

[huskyjawz]

This happen to anyone else? I have YouTube TV and the game replay stops right at 3pm. Apparently it switched to the CBS feed. I'm sure Channel 3 didn't pull the plug.

They did.

Awesome game! Handled business like a P5 would

What is this P5 you are speaking of?

The game was continued on WWAX which I had never heard of until someone pointed it out in the chat

I think Robinson will be the best of the bunch by year end. Kid knows how to run the ball, breaks tackles and is fast.

Nice touchdown catch by red shirt freshman Shamar Porter today. I am expecting big things from him along with Bell. Our punt returning and kickoff returns look promising this year with Sheffield and Brown.

After Dookie, we have 6 straight games at the Rent and it better be rocking.

Fixed it for you

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Checked the box. We still don't know enough but blowing out an FCS team is not something we've been used to for a while so there is that. Go compete on the road at Duke for 4 quarters and threated to win the game and that will be a noteworthy milestone.

This is the first time we've looked the way we should have looked against an FCS team since Texas Southern at the dawn of P's tenure here.

This was a big step.

I know its merrimack but that late 1st early 2nd quarter TD was just fun

I understand the concerns about tackling, but I didn’t see it. In the first half, other than the touchdown they broke off, I thought the tackling was at least reasonable - maybe a little better than that. The second half was another story. But remember, it was the third and fourth team that took the field for nearly 25 minutes of that time. Younger. Less experienced. Probably about equal in talent to Merrimack’s first team. They still need to tackle better, but there’s time to teach them and practice.

If we kept the first teams out there, it would have been 80 - 90points.

Great boost for confidence. Next week is a major step up and they need to come out executing. d has to improve. Way too many missed tackles. We are very vulnerable to the QB draw up the middle
and need better outside run contain. Let’s keep on improving and let’s take a W from Duke.

OK, I get it now. Thanks.

 

[Purple Stein]

It's been a schizophrenic couple of football weeks, but I think we're a better team than last year.

 

[Bomber36]

The one thing that worries me is we created 0 turnovers today. We didn‘t have any ourselves, but we didn't grab one either.

 

[willie99]

It looks like they learned from their mistakes one week ago

Keep learning boys, let's all have some fun this year

Like I said…WFSB had to switch to the national game.

But it was on WWAX, their secondary feed. It’s available on my cable, Optimum/Altice.

 

[87Xfer]

I missed the game and Youtube TV didn't capture it. Is there a full game replay available anywhere? Not on UConn+...

 

[freescooter]

I thought tackling was good. Not great but not awful. #7 made a couple of very nice sure tackles. On the takeaways, they had some drops but they were the rb falls on the football type. Their quarterbacks didn’t really throw into places where balls were getable. By their guys or ours. Plus we definitely took our foot off the gas in the 3rd quarter. Lots of backups got a good amount of pt today.

This happen to anyone else? I have YouTube TV and the game replay stops right at 3pm. Apparently it switched to the CBS feed. I'm sure Channel 3 didn't pull the plug.

They said on the broadcast that they would switch over to the national game and to switch over to the other network that was broadcasting or UConn+ to continue to watch it.
