Pat Forde (Yahoo expert) says UConn was huge underachiever

[BlueDogs]

The truth laid bare. They had incredible talent on one side of the ball. Even a mediocre offense gets us to 8-4, 9-3. The problem is on the sidelines. The cow tow local media is a joke. They are more interested in access than accessing the truth.

Since this staff has been here they have tried to get QB's, OL's (+ tried starting a 1st year player), TE's and WR's to play right away via JC, transfer and one year eligible players. FB needs to be competative this year too.

Last year was so flippin' frustrating.

Games that we lost that we needed one more scoring drive:
NC State: 10-7
Western Michigan: 30-24 (this one I put more on the D for giving up 30 points though)
Temple: 17-14
USF: 13-6 (technically we needed more than one more scoring drive but c'mon, this was USF!)

Coulda, woulda, shoulda been 9-3 last year and pounding Va Tech in the Russell Athletic Bowl or WVU in the Pinstripe Bowl. By pounding, I mean tough defense and a few scoring drives. 17-10.

Of course, you could give MD, Buff, Pitt and Louisville one more scoring drive they needed and the record is coulda, woulda, shoulda been 1-11, the "reality" is 5-7 and still watching the bowl games from home again.

Think MAC

If a certain PK didn't have his head up his a.. for the Temple game, we go bowling. He actually is pretty good. Just not that game.

Every MAC team, with the exception of UMass, was ranked higher in total offense than we were last year. I refuse to believe all those MAC teams have better talent on offense than we do.

Could be the defense they were facing as well. I would think UCONN's offense would do better facing a MAC schedule. We did light up UMASS after all.

UCONN absolutely should have had a better offense. Unfortunately, I don't think it would be more than 25-30 spots higher (which, by the way, still should have gotten us to a bowl game!!!!)

Hey stooge why don't you drive your car off a cliff. Your schtick is lame.

As bad as offense was it was good enough to beat NCST. They were coached into that loss. The Temple game was a joke. That's 7-5 right there.
