Message: [QUOTE="buddy, post: 5356596, member: 3489"] I think everyone knew that defense would not win this game, given their running game. However, I think it is reasonable to have expected the offense to beat them. I don't know if there are any statisticians here, but it seems to me that Sammis' first down calls usually either result in a touchdown (rarely) or more commonly a loss or gain of maybe 2 yards. This puts the offense behind as he frequently, it seems to me at least, wastes the first down and UConn ends up with second and long. Then next comes 3rd and 5, and a high pressure situation which usually fails. Can someone here tell me what the percentage of first down yardage of more that 2 yards are for the UConn offense? Also, not to pick on anyone, but WTF is with Rosa and forget about the defensive LB's. [/QUOTE]
