Doesn't look like foot was taken off but we do need to run better

Yes, it seems like they want to win every game by 3 points.... We should have been practicing this spread passing formation against UMass and Buffalo, then we might not have so many miscommunications between Whitmer and receivers in week 7.​

This would imply that functioning, competent offense is an objective to be achieved during the season. I am not ready to accept that this is a goal for the team at this time.
 
Yes, we need to execute better, but at least they were playing a good mix that has a chance to develop into an effective offense. If you don't try you can't make mistakes to learn from.

The problem is, the more DeLeone gets his hands on the offense, the WORSE our running game gets. Last year when he changed the blocking scheme, our running attack took a substantial step backwards. In the 2nd year he added the OLine to his duties. Now, our running game is a JOKE. From one of the most solid, workman-like rushing attacks (think Wisconsin, just not as big-time) to one of the worst in 1A. In no time flat. DeLeone is a mover!

DeLeone is like a Tiger Mom. The sooner our team can escape his clutches, the better off they'll be.
 
Come on, DeLeone is not a Tiger Mom. Tiger Moms have their daughters playing Tchaikovsky's violin concerto at age 4. DeLeone might not get UConn above 3 yards per carry in 4 years.

It's crazy that in a game where your D has only given up one TD in a half that you feel like you are hanging on to a chance at victory by the skin of your teeth.

Good thing UConn's D forces the punt here... if Temple had driven into the red zone they'd have all the momentum even if it was only for a FG.

Temple's offense produced 8 total yards before the 4th & 1 punt.
 
Pass protection???? God almight...and Temple's biggest weakness was supposed to be their lack of a pass rush.

WHERE'S THE SCREEN???

If there is ANYONE in the state of CT (or on the Temple team) who thought our offensive "plan" was anything different than that after a big interception, they simply haven't been watching.

You just noted 2 of DeLeone's most "noteworthy" contributions to our Offense-the decimation of our OLine with his "scheme," and the removal of ALL screen plays, something UCONN wasn't built on, but certainly had lots of success with over the years.
 
Temple's rushing numners: 28 rushes for 125 yards...4.5 YPC average

UConn's rushing numbers: 24 rushes for 38 yards...1.6 YPC average

And this is at home. They are just better in the trenches. Thank goodness Coyer hasn't thrown the ball so far.

DeLeone has absolutely OBLITERATED our offensive running game, and he has done it FAR BETTER than any opposing D-Coordinator could have ever dreamed of doing.

Absolutely huge 3rd and 4 here. Just run a simple curl her please, nothing fancy.

We are great at completing passes agonizingly short of the first down. Please run your routes past the damn sticks!

4th and one...man up OL. This is where I hate the zone blocking.

False start. Horrible.
 
Phillips sighting. We really need a 2 possession lead because Temple is showing life on offense (though they are beating themselves with penalties).

That missed FG in the 1st qtr is looming large at the moment.
 
Whitmer waking up a little bit. Have to get at least a FG here, but a touchdown would be huge with the way this defense is playing.
 
Arrrgh.
