Thing is he’s not even immobile. He can do some damage with legs he just don’t design plays for it and he would rather make an off balance throw than pick up easy first downs when he has space
Oh absolutely but this was wild.
Bro this isn’t the cinema, it’s sports. The essence of sports is winning or losing. If I wanted simply entertaining I could put some WWF or Evil Knievel on.
Tulane and USF
Thank you Doogie.
If the players appreciate losing a good game we will forever be an independent..
THIS!!!!! That's what frustrated me MOST about today.
I thought this was a very close game. Our defense made some great plays in first half and we showed some speed we haven’t seen in a while.
That or run for a 4 / 5 yard wide open space and slide for a first down. Several opportunities missed today.
I'm not a player, I'm a Football fan
Then you aren't a fan of the sport. Doesn't take a lot to appreciate a thrilling game
I’d likely speak for the vast majority of fans on the planet that I much prefer my program winning than watching them lose in entertaining fashion.
Except it wasn't a god awful Football game, it was a great one. Had it been a terrible game, I would be upset. But as a fan of the game, I can recognize good losses and solid games and, while still upset with the outcome, I can appreciate a good game for what it is and be entertained. That's the whole purpose of being a spectator
I just checked the rule book. It turns out they cannot give both teams a W.
Look, Sammis screwed this team royally. He bailed on his QB and receivers. Yes, JF was off but you have to ride the horse that brought you plenty of Ws and a great receiver group. His calling was schizophrenic and simply inexplicable, ranging to needlessly conservative to the occasional unnecessarily risky on short yardage 3rd downs. That said, they gambled on the D holding up and got burned. Cuse found the weaknesses and broke us down late. Every D is going to break and be exploited and when you’re in that situation you have to have something in the back pocket other than holding your breath and hoping the O makes a mistake first. The DC should know when the D is breaking down and gassed, and the HC needs to realize when the O needs to open up and get aggressive. This loss is entirely infuriating. I blame the staff 100% for not trusting its players.
Just stop the bashing. It will be a cold day in hell before we get another coach of his caliber and character.
With all due respect no one likes to hear about silver linings when your team is not in a conference and brutally choke a game away you should have won against a P4 team.
Punching the ball. Had the whistle blown? If so, yeah foul, if not, that the game today.
The team has a lifeline now. Mora is here and we're in the best shape we've been in in over 10 years. The narrative that UConn doesn't belong in FBS doesn't exist anymore. You're acting like we got blown out by today. We hung around and really should've won. The narrative about us is changing. A win against Syracuse wouldn't be the reason UConn is joining the ACC/B12. It's a marathon, not a sprint
I don't miss seeing all of these comments people are saying about UMass being hurled our way:
Who did I bash?
After that tremendous catch, It was the most obvious personal foul that I’ve seen. I think it was punched in the stomach and he was struck in the helmet area after he caught the ball.
Hopefully, we find out Mel Brown is perfectly healthy and that he only got 5 carries because Sammis is a moron. Mora needs to make sure we see more Brown. If he carries the ball 15-20 times we win this game by 15 points. There’s just no excuse for it other than injury. None.
