This Isn't Working

Nope. They are running the plays that they have confidence Zion can execute. They are protecting him from himself.

He's definitely far from polished as a QB. I know everyone hates losing, and not being competitive at times, but there simply are not enough players here yet. It takes time to fill the roster, it just does.

Actually ZT has more than enough time, according to PFF we rated 90.7 as a unit during pass blocking . I think ZT is just not fast going through his reads and progressions. If you look at all his INTs if he would’ve thrown the ball a bit quicker to the receiver it’s a reception/TD. His decision making is hurting the offense.

No one is open.

I'm sure Manute Bol would be the heaviest QB too if he played football for UConn, but he would still be skinny.

Let's stop kidding ourselves. This program is 3 or 4 good recruiting classes away from staying within 30 of a good team. If you are disappointed, you set the expectations way too high.

Nah. Should be quicker than that. Mora gonna hammer the portal. This looks like a great place for transfers and players ti get immediate time. It just gonna take a cycle or two.
 
OK...for telling the truth? All these people think this w=could happen quickly....not realistic.

Bring in a good passing qb and see what happens. We haven’t had one for a while. ZT hasn’t caught up to the speed of the college game yet.

In the first quarter we had 3 three and outs in the first 4 possessions. SU had virtually ten minutes of possession.

I am not forgiving the defense's performance which was poor. But even some semblance of a mediocre offense would have helped.

It would have helped, but it wouldn’t have mattered.

3 or 4 years to stay within 30……with transfer portal available and a coach who has turned around programs in the past in short time frames and only a handful of kids are who he picked up….having some patience is one thing but your comments are beyond ludicrous

You act like turning around a NFL team, which is a totally different kettle of fish from college football, or UCLA, which is a former national power, the flagship of the largest state in the second largest metropolitan area in the country, which is a totally different task than UConn.

I'm not knocking Mora -- it's just that thinking that getting to a winning record at UCLA is comparable to getting to a winning record here is not a good comparison.
 
Agree that UCONN is a tough job. It is like the NFL today where one could remake a roster through the portal. However getting good transfers to come to UConn over other places is yet another challenge. It does make better hs recruits available since others are shopping the portal as well. Think ZT.
 
UCONN is a brand. Jim Mora is an excellent coach. UCONN is not the NFL, it is not Alabama, it is not Pittsburgh, it is not Marshall, it is not Northern Illinois, it is not freaking Coastal Carolina. Every program has challenges. We've gone over the pros and cons of being indie vs a member of a conference. Whether we get guys moving up from lower level programs or moving down from P5, the coaches have to go out and get guys who can play.

Randy Edsall cannot be the ONLY guy to ever be able to have success here. That is one fact I will never believe.

Perhaps it will take more than three games for someone to take this program from the flaming turd it has been (since the bowl game loss to Marshall) to something that resembles a legitimate FBS program.
 
Even with the portal, rebuilding this program from where it was (Low FCS talent) is nothing like the NFL.

Oh my god guys. Stop.

This. Even if we end the year 2-10, it's not showing that Mora can't do the job. Just that you will have to give him time. (It would be saying that many on here who thought that changing coaches would makes us tons better immediately because our biggest problew was the x's and the o's and not the jimmies and the joes were dead wrong, but that has nothing to do with Mora.)

Agree. But it’s going to be a minute for Mora.

This fanbase is interpreting the Syracuse loss very poorly. They lost to a very good team on Sat night.
Expand ...
Time will tell, but I think that’s the best Syracuse team I’ve seen since the 90’s. Big, strong and talented all over the field. I like their brand of football too. They are balanced yet very fun to watch.

With all due respect....At this point you sound like you know nothing about football, Starting QB (OUT), Backup QB (OUT), 1ST string WR (OUT), 2ND string WR (OUT), 3RD string WR (OUT ), 2ND string RB (OUT). This from a team that won 4 games in the last 3 years and was never competitive in most games. And you expected what with the team he inherited and all of the injuries and a very difficult schedule to start the season. At this point you sound like a broken record. Thanks for your interest in UConn sports.

To be fair, none of those guys play defense. I can realistically complain that the group on the field should have scored more than 14 pt, 20-24 was certainly reachable with a small improvement in output. There is no combination of players and plays that can be counted on for 40 pts.

We lose that game 28-14 or 35-24, no one is complaining.

We could have run on Cuse all day if we could pass enough to keep the chains moving. The passing game bar is already low and we are failing to meet even those low expectations. Passing for 105 yards where 100 are after the catch is piss poor at any level regardless of who is playing.

I'll judge your comment above in four years when I judge your previous post noted below:

"Tyler Phommachanh will never take another meaningful snap at QB for us. Pin this post and come back in four years. It'll age like wine. Roberson and Zion have rendered him redundant."

Turner went 14 for 17 yesterday. One would think it’s hard to make the case that his accuracy was the dominant problem.
Expand ...
Dont want to read the whole thread now, but Turner is a true freshman, probably slated to be at least 3rd string this year if Pommechan were healthy. I have no clue what some people think he should be, especially when right off the bat he is facing our toughest competition and with several good receivers missing. He would still nead time to thiw. He was reasonable vs USU, the D had a bad 10 minute stretch and any chance he had to lead a comeback was destroyed by a terrible.interference call. He took care of business vs. Central. SU ate up our D last time I looked. The main disappointment for me is his seeming inability to use his feet to avoid a single rusher.

Please do. That's exactly what I stated in my post.

You can complain like that. And we can laugh at you and call you Subbadumb.
