Remaining Games

[UConn76]

are pretty much against higher scoring offenses. Pitt put up 40, USF 36, and Louisville / Cincy both have high flying offenses.

Unfortunately, I just don't see UConn being able to score enough points to stay in these games.

Hoping I'm wrong and the Huskies come out hitting on all cylinders next weekend. (which would be a first this year)

I don't see the problem. If we play fabulous defense, get a tremendous effort from the kicking game and the offense is complimentary to this we have the best chance of winning.

if we run it up the middle more we will do great!

There are many teams that do successfully run it up the middle. We need to just make our blocks

I just hope the other defenses stop running around all over the place and making tackles. That would be nice.

I get the sarcasm and obviously balanced offenses tend to be the most successful. But, what many here fail to realize is that you do need to be able to run the football to keep defenses honest, just as you need to pass the football to keep them honest against the run. The Cuse DEs teed off against us because they felt (or knew) that they did not have to hold the edge against the run. They feared nothing of our running game - no speed to get outside or break a long run and no power inside. That's fully out their now and we can expect more of the same the rest of the way. Whitmer won't be in one piece by the end of the season if we don't find a way to run the ball again.

I am very surprised that we are getting solid QB play and have an excellent defense (except for the group impersonating our guys at Syracuse) and we are 3-5. To me it is an absolute indictment of this staff that a program that has been very successful running the football for a decade is now near the bottom of the country in that statistic. GDL is trying to make this rocket science. It would really help if he realized he's a duck'n footbal coach. P has to fix this!
