Message: [QUOTE="Scrutineer, post: 4433543, member: 8240"] ST needs lots of improvement, and the penalties (primarily on the O-Line) were a real killer. Total penalties for UConn on the season: 82 for 665 yards while our opponents had only 56 for 495 yards, roughly the equivalent of one extra 15 yard penalty per game (or maybe more apropos, three motion penalties). Three segments of the schedule that stand out for penalties: -[B]Toughest three opponents[/B] (Syracuse, Michigan and NC State) [B]only drew 10 total penalties (3.3 per game)[/B]. -First [B]five games [/B]only saw [B]22 penalties (4.4 per game)[/B]. -While the [B]last seven games[/B] saw [B]60 penalties (8.6 per game)[/B]. [B]Over the last seven games UConn committed 26 more penalties for 155 more yards than the opponents. Just about the yardage for an average Motion Penalty.[/B] Something went downhill very fast in those last seven games. 12 against Ball St., 10 against BCU and 11 against Army being the worst. [/QUOTE]
