Yikes, three weeks in a row. Have to get someone out of the block formation. Unacceptable.

Defense and, to a lesser extent, offense are heading in the right direction.

But is it possible for UConn to have a competent special teams? Just once?

Holy Cow another special teams gaffe! Shocked. Plant Puyol on the bench and put in Tarbutt for xps.

....3 weweeks I a row. What are the odds?

Last week was on the O-Line. This seemed like a combo f-up.

OL has been opening up holes all game. A competent RB would have PLENTY of yards by now. Stop giving Ron Johnson carries please.

Am I the only one that thinks Puyols is got way to low a trajectory on most kicks?

given away 3 points. Safety + missed extra point. Were not good enough for this.

I do feel that safety may have been better than giving them great position, but these missed extra points are bullsheet.

I have never seen anything like this in my life. 3 games in a row. First attempt each game. The good news is that if we score again the extra point will be good. If past performance is any indication.

Is it the holder? Blocking ?Time to get kick off? Angle?

Going for 2 every play is an option. Or put Tarbutt out there. Or tell Puyol - no run up, just chip shot the kick.

Welp, special teams looks like . Everybody else is playing well, though.

Ron Johnson doesn't have the most impressive numbers, but he's the first big power back threat we've had since Andre Dixon. It's refreshing to see a big guy out there in the backfield.

That's unbelievable. 3 weeks in a row? 3?
Clearly-improved play from the offense has come at the expense of practice time for Special Teams. I'm sure specials will be given some more practice time this week. Have to like the way the team has shown up thus far!

Offense is attacking. Defense is going after Mizzou. I like it.

Nice series from both defense and offense, but at this point, special teams is an abject failure. And it is definitely not just the kickers/punters.
