So, uh . . . . . . . . here's the UCF game chat.

[BlueDogs]

The blitz on third down was the right play, but it got there so late. We don't have a Trevardo or a Sio on this team, obviously. Gotta find someone who can get there, though...

Yup and the linebacker actually slowed down on the pass instead of attacking the ball. Go back and watch the hesitation... unbelievable.

 

[Alum86]

Our guys can't even get off blocks.

Yep. They get tied up and watch the UCF players buzz by them out of the corner of their eyes

 

[bmayuc]

How is it possible for a defense to be so bad at every single thing.

RBs running all over us on primary.
QB running all over us on counter/option
WRs running free through entire secondary
WRs getting a free 10 yards on the outside.

Like, can't we just agree that if we are going to give up 60 pts anyway, that we TRY to take away one thing or another and just get lucky?

Screw it, play man-up no safeties and make them throw over the top, and try to stop the run! Sell out blitz! whatever. Try Something.

 

[Jimdish255]

It’s like they stand there and hug the other guys. Maybe they think it makes it look like they’re actually trying.

That was really poor. Need a lot of work shedding blocks. I know the guys are young and it's a project with new players coming in next year. It's just where we're at. Randy will have to evaluate the progress and the coaching aspect.

 

[CTBballfan243]

Scott Frost should definitely take his QB with him to Nebraska. He is really good.

 

[tower1]

Wow our defense really sucks.

 

[noeynox]

I don't know. They have him lined up sometimes inside the OT and sometimes outside the OT with no LB help.

Pfft. He's lost the ball twice and had the ball carrier go by him twice while he stands there looking for the ball.

 

[Jimdish255]

If you thought Pindell sucked after 1 game you may have been mistaken.

 

[scoobydoo]

We are on track to keep them under 85.

Cool!

 

[huskymedic]

I certainly didn't expect a W, but what I want (do) to expect is incremental progress, ie not causing our own demise as opposed to just being beat. The 'fumble' and offsides are things that shouldn't happen, regardless if we lose. I'll still be watching though.

... and both by upperclassmen.

 

[NavinRJohnson]

Watching on tv rather than being in the stadium really shows how slow the D is.

Going to make gumbo.

 

[Purple Stein]

I guess we can't spy their QB

We COULD spy the qb, but then we'd have to tackle the qb and tackling is not our ... strength.

 

[Bomber36]

What I expect from this team is effort.....and we are not seeing a very good one today. But hey, if they want to embarrass themselves, who am I to say don’t?

 

[UConnDan97]

If you thought Pindell sucked after 1 game you may have been mistaken.

Like I said in another thread, he showed some things last game that give you hope for the future. And so far, he's continuing to show good things today...

 

[CL82]

For instance I'm about to mow the lawn in 30 degree weather if we fall behind by 30 points.

I plan on fixing my mower at half and then doing the same thing. Of course when we punch it in a on the next drive I'll give up on that plan

 

[Marty Jackson]

The should let Uconn play with 12 players....

Ok, maybe 13 or 14..

 

[Waquoit]

If you thought Pindell sucked after 1 game you may have been mistaken.

That would be me. He is certainly not the problem today.

 

[Bomber36]

Well, at least I’m going to the hockey game today. They have a chance to win.

 

[SubZero]

It feels like all the players have quit on RE.

 

[Bomber36]

The pursuit angles of our DBs are horrible on these short passes.

 

[gwhuskyfan]

Going for the field goal on the opening drive was the kiss of death. Basically accepted we were gonna lose. Stick a fork in this one

 

[Jimdish255]

Did we miss 1st down? Anyway they blitzed and it worked. Interesting concept. Aggression.

 

[CL82]

pathetic defense. not sure how Crocker keeps his job

Don't think it'll happen after the season. I think he's going to get one more year.

 

[NavinRJohnson]

how many yards does the defense give up today?

 

[BugsyCT]

My God, a stop on 4th & short!
