That first half play calling was atrocious

[Skiblets]

Horrible, terrible. Ridiculous. Apparently we only know three running plays... And the QB sneak call on 4th and 2???? Someone want to explain that to me please? Very disappointing. We should have 17 or 21 points at least

It was beautiful for edsall. Take no chances, straight vanilla and become utterly predictable with defense making adjustments and stacking the box daring you to throw.

Edsall plays scared. Way too conservative in this age of football. You got nothing to lose take chances man.

 

[Skiblets]

I'm an Edsall apologist and I get the game plan but he doesn't call the plays...Dunn does. Have to have some imagination. The QB sneak had me howling...

I have a hard time believing any UConn football fan over age 20 could write this.

There have been at least a half dozen OC's under RE and this game plan would be executed today regardless of OC.

This is 100% RE coaching plan. We've seen this all too many times.

Hate to say it but after first drive, UMass's Dline has owned Uconn's OLine.

 

[Madmannsucks]

I am guessing they are trying to keep it very simple due to the weather.

BY jinx - we’ll done!

Repeat of first half. We'll see how remainder of second half goes.

Running game thread sucks. I prefer Chat.

You are free to run the chat for the Tulsa game (that wasn’t intended as snark).

UMass has decided to make our DBs defend go routes. I would do this every play against us.

 

[HawkHusky]

God awful offensive play calling.

It's as if they're trying to protect an undefeated season. Good Lord, you're 1-6 man.

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

I think UMass just realized that UConn DBs NEVER turn around. Why don't they just throw it downfield every play?

And yes....the offensive play calling is offensive.

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

Edsall is hoping UMass loses the game.

 

[noeynox]

God I hate this. Today I wish Edsall stayed with the lions. This is piss poor pathetic. UMass can apparently throw downfield in bad weather and put pressure on DBs to play defense but we cannot possibly risk a turnover. Low risk low reward at its finest.

No balls. Terrified of the weather. It's gonna cost us our perfect season I guess if we throw it.

 

[bmayuc]

what the holy hell is going on with play calling. Its raining, its not like they disabled the ability to throw.

 

[ASweet3781]

UConn football. It rains. We melt.

UMass is starting to open it up and find success doing it. UMass defense all within 5 yards of LOS. Need to take a shot at some point, right?

 

[HawkHusky]

Welp. They figured out our D. Too bad we don't have much of a cushion. Thanks Edsall.

 

[huskymedic]

Way to go Murph!!

That was unexpected
