Statement Game ... Lack of Progress

[Alum86]

The Pick 6 was a killer. The D has improved, but got tired late and got pushed around.
The O and play calling? Horrific

 

[Northbound]

That is not a good football team lead by a staff that isn’t progressive or forward thinking (edit).

Goodness i envy the optimism of some folks on here.

 

[Guapo]

No.

His commitment to the bit is impressive

Does anyone else think that Wagner is an underrated team and they did very well. Thankfully, UConn won in the end. But it is not all doom and gloom for the season. I think the Huskies are much better than last year.

Predicted to come in 4th place in the NEC.

He sucks so badly. Calling him a dinosaur wouldn't be fair to dinosaurs.

Who wasn’t utilized? We clearly saw that our starting quarterback can’t throw the ball more than ten yards in the air without risking an interception. He’s terrible, and worse than that, he probably isn’t durable enough to last all season

From HuskyHawk's posts in the game chat you would think we were watching a future Heisman QB.

Let’s lay the blame where it belongs - the negative nancies who rightly predicted this mess.

The WR screen and curl/comeback routes were open all day and we didn't utilize it nearly enough.

Build a nice 18k seat stadium on horse barn hill and go FCS.

Waste of money. Just fold it. I'm embarrassed to be associated with it

 

[Robertelamin]

That’s our Randy!

The play calling was incredibly predictable, and players were not properly utilized. I don't think the players themselves were all that bad.

What was Beaudry? 8 for 11?

Maybe Beaudry, a former Division II quarterback, had opening game jitters? We'll see what happens going forward.

 

[Guapo]

Look in all seriousness, the triple option is built for a school with the recruiting disadvantages that UConn has.

In my humble opinion it give us the best chance to win consistently.

I have zero patience for your "durr high school offense durr chopblocks durr" takes, when we currently aren't running any offensive of which to speak.

 

[Adios]

We need a Les Miles. Maybe one day.

 

[Coach J]

I wouldn't mind seeing someone come in with a Wildcat look once in a while to liven things up or even given Steven Krajewski a series in each half - at a minimum you give your opponent a few more things to game plan for.

 

[Guapo]

Paul Johnson is available

 

[Alum86]

Will we ever utilize a TE as a weapon?

 

[huskymedic]

Would love to know why Ardell Brown was not featured at all, was he even active? So little info comes out of RE and nothing was mentioned on the air unless I missed it.

 

[MilliniumPrince]

The AAC will look pretty good in football next year. The narrative will then be "Uconn left and the American got better."

As for the game, can we wait until game 3 before you all jump off a ledge? Damn!

On the upside the announcer we had on ESPN3 was killing it. He was pulling vin Scully esque references out of his ass every 30 seconds.

"And that was deshawn Johnson, the transfer from holy ivy cross state college in ohio whose grandfather is a decorated Vietnam vet who enjoys playing candyland"

They got some names wrong but otherwise, for a D level crew they were pretty good

Let's get this out of the way right now. We're running the offense Edsall wants us to run the way he wants it run and it almost cost us the game tonight. A lot of players not used or not utilized enough so we could do the same thing over and over. So conservative late in games.

I've been a fan of Randy Edsall since RE1.0 and since he came back but no more. He and his whole staff should be fired now. This team has a lot of talented players, it's the coaches that suck. The off season transfers were very very telling.
