My take before watching again in DVR.
Good: Defense stopped the run. Fantastic job there. Whitmer played much better. One stupid throw at a very bad time but that's not why we lost. Outside of the last drive the WRs improved. The d-line was much better. Third down on D?. THANK YOU UCONN. Much better.
Bad: turnovers. Terrible start to the game...AGAIN. Bad throw by Whitmer in what was otherwise a solid game. O-line. 9+/- sacks! 9. Really? It's tiresome reading complaints about "happy feet" when Whitmer faces the kind of pressure he does very game. No running game at all. 30+/- yard rushing? I don't want to hear about their run defense, we saw the same production against stony Brook. Secondary. Ugh. They get a C. Some terrible plays, but some great run support by Adams.
Ugly. Fans leaving (lots of students too) at halftime and in the third quarter. I watched 20-30 leave in the second quarter. Why show up?
Edit: I saw improvement. I still think we can go 6-6. I don't think what we saw from Boyle was worthy of being compared to Whitmer. The defense dropped back, stopped rushing, and was probably (assuming) a lot of second stringers. Boyle didn't do enough to take the job. Keep giving him snaps here and there but if we don't get major improvement on the OL it won't matter.
