Negative 147?

[Buffett10]

That's how many yards Mr. Shirreffs has lost this year. I thought the offensive line was bad. Didn't know it was this bad. Yeah he is taking some stupid plays here and there. But when have you ever seen a quarterback with negative 147 with 4 games left? That's gotta be on pace for some kind of horrible record. Couldn't believe my eyes when I seen that just now. He would be leading our team without all the negative yards haha.

What in the?

I'm looking around right now trying to find the cameras. I have to be getting punked today.

The offensive line is light years ahead of where its been. And that's with the inexperience and sometimes ineffectiveness of the interior. Still not good, but light years better.

Are you just counting the yards lost by sacks and not the total net yards?

If its the latter, holy sh....

Same reaction. Someone noticed after (four years and) eight games that we were giving up too many sacks? Really?

I guess there's only one simple solution to this very glaring problem: replace Shirreffs with Wain or Puyol (or Tarbutt). What those guys net in field position gained will surely offset what has been "lost by Shirreffs".

Hilariously enough, a friend of mine (who also goes to UConn games) suggested we just run a Surprise Punt offense where we catch the other team off guard by punting on 1st or 2nd down and hey, maybe we get a recovery and our D can win a few games.

I admit it's a bit sad that there have been times I wondered if it'd be better than what we actually do.

Huh?

I missed the memo that today was National Crack Day.
You people are all screwed today. Seriously. Between this post and the "Diaco inherited a Bag of Gold" post it's seriously hysterical.
I'm hoping for an AACREIGNS or Chapwilvaug post.

Doesn't take a genius to figure out it was NEGATIVE yards. From Sacks, Loss of yards on runs. Have any of you guys played football? If you watched a UConn game this year you would know hes got a ton of yards. From just NEGATIVE plays he's lost 147 yards. What comments. No wonder why half of you guys sit down and knit during the games.

only 20 yds a game in sacks? that is a little surprising....

According to the NCAA it's 145.

We rank 122, games 9, sacks 30, negative yards 145, sacks per game 3.33, those are not good numbers but they are hardly catastrophic.

If you look at yards lost we are not that bad. Pittsburgh has lost 145 yards, the same of us, yet has only given up 19 sacks. Texas A&M has given up 145 yards on 22 sacks

We moved closer to being ranked in the top 100 if you only compare yards lost by sacks.

This is another instance of someone reacting to a number with no sense of context.
