The Official UConn Show Me Winning (!) Thread !!

Mizzou's offense sucks but they have a great D, our D is looking legit. Anybody's game in the second half, it's ugly and that's what we want. The win is there for the taking.
 
Totally shocked by this! Come out with the same fire boys and turn some of these mistakes into points!

About Mauk... he came in with a 48% completion percentage. This is who he is throwing. We have taken away his running prowess. That is good coaching and execution boys.

Take away the run, make Mauk or frosh beat us. We can win this game.

Battle of defenses. We need to avoid turnovers and play adequate specials to force them to drive to score. No short fields! We do that, we have a shot at this thing guys!

Love the play calling by Diaco. When they can execute those plays with reliability it's going to be scary.

Diaco doesn't call plays, Verducci does, and I love his scheme.
 
So if you're Mizzou, what adjustments do you make? Mine would be QB replacement. He's had some guys open that he's missing by yards, not inches. Making bad decisions left and right. That FR that came in for a series looked fine.

Not surprising offense was ugly. Both teams young on offense.
 
Okay. Joe D. said that the wind is blowing briskly in one direction. UConn has the 2nd half option. My question: Does UConn take the ball or opt for having the wind behind them in the 4th quarter? This game is going to boil down to field position. If UConn opts to receive, Mizzou is just going to tee off on defense. What to do?

Totally disagree. The risk/reward was not in our favor. They are lucky that Mauk absolutely sucks and let them off the hook. Gotta take the 40 plus seconds off the clock there.

Gambles are less gambles when the opposing team's offense is bad.
 
UConn halftime adjustment: no more runs between the tackles. It's clear as day they are queuing in on that. That means Newsome bumps up to 1 and run him on stretches and toss plays. That also means play action is on the table. They bit hard on the miss downfield shot to Bloom (DeLo was WIDE OPEN on that play). They are selling out to stuff the run. You catch them on a play action and we can hit them for a BIG play.

Take the wind. This game is ugly and could be all up to specials. Make their kickers make big kicks against the wind. I like the way our defense is going to work today.

Their is a ton of risk in punting.

Missouri wasn't going to do anything with an extra 40 seconds.

There was more potential points for Missouri by forcing the punt than there was gaining 40 seconds.

Look what happened on the punt - they needed a lucky bounce to field it.

Even taking all that into account I love the attitude and the confidence and it should have worked.

Plus, if Mauk stays in the game, throwing against the wind surely won't help him out either.

They already tried a qb replacement, then went back to mauk....

Edit, read whole thing next time....

Diaco's only mistake of the 1st half imo. They had time to score a TD. That would have been deflating to the team if they had.

A pick 6 by UCONN D would be a nice cherry on top.

No way. You roll with your guy no matter what. It's all about loyalty.

**crosses fingers mauk stays in**
