The View From Section 241

[rich1122]

We never make strides as the year progresses? We made great strides at the end of '09 and '10. Frankly, I think we played far better in the Big East portion of our schedule last year than we did in the OOC portion of our schedule.

So other than you don't think we're improving so far this year (stand in line), I'm not sure what your point is.

The fact that other teams begin to elevate their game as time goes on. We look the same, at least on offense. Nothing works. We still look very lost out there. Outside of 5 or 6 offensive plays we are still, at this point in season, tentative. Last year was a little better in the Big East, but Defense and ST made it happen.

Those teams had very good offenses. Now ask Nick Saben what wins championships and I'm pretty sure he's going to say defense and a dominating OL. He's definitely not going to say throwing the ball 50 times a game. Which I'm pretty sure is TDH's point. Although, frankly, it's hard to know what his point is.........

Get Alabama level recruits to UConn and you can run a single wing offense for all I care. Until then the longer it takes for UConn to understand the value of a passing game (recruiting it, coaching it and committing to making it an integral part of the offense) the longer it will take them to come out of this degression.
