Team can't make mistakes like it did and win.
Here's what I saw:
1. First series on 3rd down, Shirreffs throws to Newsome in the flat. It was Newsome, Hopkins and one defender. Any contact from Hopkins and it goes for a 1st down and a lot more. No contact and time for a punt.
2. Crozier's snaps in the shot gun take a LOOONNNNGGG time to reach the QB. No snap to his snap.
3. OLine, no penalties again.
4. Bloom drops a catchable touchdown, one or two plays later and it was the INT or the fumble. Bottom line, UConn isn't good enough to let defenses off the hook.
5. Swann is fast. So is Skanes. Dixon is shifty. Lots to like from those guys going forward.
6. DLine is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO slow getting off their stances and get almost no pressure on QB. Doesn't help that LB's are slow too and can't get pressure on the blitzes.
7. Linebackers being slow also prevent them from getting to the sidelines and preventing RB's from turning up field.
8. Lashlee's game plan was good enough to put at least 30 points on the board. I'm fine with that.
9. I'll take Edsall's word on the DB's needing to not play scared. They. Were. Bad.
10. Bell isn't good enough to be left one on one with no possible help from a safety.
11. I'm convinced Newsome is a weapon, however it's worrisome that Lashlee has figured out how to turn other players in to weapons but hasn't figured out how to utilize Newsome.
12. Shirreffs definitely showed his tendency to tuck and run. Defenses will quickly remember that once he tucks there's little chance of an accurate throw on the run. Good, bad or otherwise, that's still true.
13. Like the plan with Williams in there.
14. Did I say defense is slow on all three levels?? Not sure if they're actually that slow or if they are new to the scheme and having to see and react and end up being a step slow.
15. All this being said, this team is light years better than the last two years' teams. 4-5 victories is possible starting next weekend.
**All comments are off the top of my head. I'm sure I got some details wrong.
