UConn stunk against USF. But is there hope now with Boyle? It's a definitive "yes".

Good read.

I would love for these to get published in the Courant. They really are must reads.

Yeah Callahan has been absolutely killing it this year. Too bad the team he's covering isn't worthy of his excellent coverage.

(No offense to the team, I'm a pretty poor fan myself!)

I like to read these every week. It would make for a great show on SNY.

Interesting that he scoped out standard formation, plays called with 2 back sets and how single wide isolation usually leads to slants or curls; expect opponents see this also (seems especially after halftime). Not sure what is correct strategy but run blitz by opponent needs to cost them, that's what killed wildcat last year and kills the delayed halfback hand off.

Also interesting that on the sack / fumble / TD, it wasn't necessarily Bennett's fault since Boyle had dropped three yards further back than he was supposed to.

That's exactly what HCTJW said during his news conference. A couple of tweeks and we'll get there.

Just goes to show without really studying tape it is hard to critique what is going on.

Won't stop anyone here!

Fantastic breakdown of the offensive series. I'd love to see a defensive breakdown too. I know it would be a bit more difficult to write since defense it mostly read-and-react, but I'd still love to see how we generate pressure up front, what kind of coverage (man vs. zone) produced the best results against particular formations, and how our LBs fill line gaps.

Stick with this thread and I'm sure Medic will have the link to the defensive breakdown as soon as it's up- likely tomorrow.

We should be proud that their online presence is forever linked with our victory on that cold November day.
