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

[BugsyCT]

Stinkin' knee down on 1st & goal. That's all it takes for us to lose points.

Margin for error is paper-thin.

 

[WestCoastHusky]

Ugh... Bunch of conservative run calls ended with a 3. Should have tried a pass with Pindell run as an option.

 

[BlueDogs]

Another missed opportunity... geez these mistakes just kill us

 

[Jimdish255]

Normally like the FG. Not against UCF and with our D.

 

[BugsyCT]

It's the right football play. Have to trust our defense, I guess. But I just feel like we need to be gutsy on the offensive side to keep up...

Agree, but always a psychological boost to get that goose egg off the board. Empty trips can deflate a team quickly.

 

[UConnDan97]

So 2 penalties have cost us 11 points so far. Hard to swallow that...

 

[CTBballfan243]

UConn kicks field goals and UCF scores touchdowns. This should work out well for UConn.

 

[Showballot]

The best teams in the country have no problem sending 5, 6, 7 guys on passing downs. We think 4 is too much. It's NEGATIVE FOOTBALL and I really hate caps but it reminds me of Diaco.

Ever think that the best teams in the country have much bigger, faster, and more athletic players? They get to the QB faster and have better players covering in the secondary.

 

[CL82]

God you guys are negative Nancy's. We were just a couple of Dumb fouls away from being up seven nothing.

 

[UConnDan97]

Side note: their stadium crowd at 8-0 looks like our crowd at 2-10...

 

[noeynox]

1st two possessions are this team in a nutshell. Force a 3 and out punt, give it back with a penalty. On the 1 foot line, push yourself back with a penalty.

 

[TouchdownHusky]

Continued Red Zone ineptitude. Offensive line can push enough to get a back in . . . aweful. Throw the ball, don't automatically get 1st and goal and stop throwing. It stalls drive after drive since the defense knows it doesnt have a lot of responsibility.

Also stop the stupid penalties.

 

[Jimdish255]

That run was all about 3 men near the line of scrimmage. They're killing Crockers passive D. Hardly anyone else behind them. The O-line gets a running start.

 

[TouchdownHusky]

OLine is doing really well in the run game. Chunk plays.

Do they know the field is 100 yards not 80?

 

[UConnDan97]

pressure! Finally!

 

[noeynox]

Terry too slow

 

[BlueDogs]

Betty Crocker's D is a joke.

 

[Jimdish255]

Ever think that the best teams in the country have much bigger, faster, and more athletic players? They get to the QB faster and have better players covering in the secondary.

Yes I've though of that. They get to the QB because they have guys rushing the QB. We're getting killed doing what we're doing.

 

[Waquoit]

This team is so stupid, it's painful.

 

[TouchdownHusky]

The tackling has been good though !

 

[CL82]

Ugh. Okay, let's go get 7 this time.

 

[gtcam]

UCF shows what an effective OL can do

 

[minidarren]

Well that escalated quickly.

 

[UConnDan97]

Yes I've though of that. They get to the QB because they have guys rushing the QB. We're getting killed doing what we're doing.

Agreed. We have to take chances by bringing the blitz. Can't give this guy extra time. Nothing to lose at all...

 

[BugsyCT]

UConn kicks field goals and UCF scores touchdowns. This should work out well for UConn.

We're not scoring as many TDs as UCF today anyway. If our D can't even show a slight breeze of resistance then we don't deserve to win football games.
