[Jimdish255]

Its my responsibility to do what needs to be done to win. re; preparation.

This doesn't sound like the same old song. Really like this guy.

Well, that's good to hear. But I hope he is ready to be repeating himself. With a true freshman in there for the rest of the season, he might as well play a recording of this after each game.

We get it. You dont like Boyle. Do you have to repeat it in every thread ???

P.S. Boyle was pretty good.

By the way, I think it's a totally different ball game if Parker and Foxx dont drop 2 TD's in the 1st quarter. The kid had to be upset after that, and you could see it in the throws he made after that point.

 

[ruskin]

Make 2-3 catches of the 6 drops probably win. Much better team than two weeks ago. Too bad TJ gagged at the end on the TO. he's got seven more chances otherwise WM is looking elsewhere.

5.6 yards a carry today after 1.45 first 4 games.

 

[Fishy]

I think you can turn three drops into catches and UConn wins comfortably.

It's good of him to take responsibility, but the players muffed this one - an opportunity lost.

>>Weist, who doubles as UConn’s offensive coordinator, took the blame for the disarray at the end of the game which dropped UConn to 0-5 for the first time since 1977. A loss to Cincinnati next week and the Huskies will open the season with six straight losses for just the third time since 1935.

“This loss is on me, it is my responsibility to win this game and we didn’t,” said Weist, who was named interim coach on Sept. 30 after UConn director of athletics Warde Manuel fired head coach Paul Pasqualoni. “We had the opportunity, the defense played a great game and didn’t allow a touchdown and they gave us every opportunity on offense with field position, they gave us every chance to make play

“I am calling plays and I thought the clock was stopped at 16 (seconds) and it wasn’t. I didn’t make the play call, I was deciding what play to call and whether to call timeout and I didn’t and the clock started again. I made a mistake in clock management. I have to learn from it.”<<

Not the first coach to pooch time management, won't be the last.

 

[ruskin]

Well, at least he's honest. But trying to figure out why he thought the clock was stopped. Whole place was screaming TIME OUT. Hell just call it and then if refs say time was already called then argue to get it back. Sucks for TJ but after his predecessor made a habit of similar errors can't repeat this one again.

He had some good comments post game on energy - I'll try to find them but I think they may have been w/ Joe D.

Ha. It's easy for the coach to take responsibility when it's as crystal clear that the players lost this one. And I don't mean this in a bad way at all. Every single one of the players on this team can listen to Weist taking blame, and they know their coach is taking their own blame upon himself, and in a positive atmosphere, that kind of thing usually tends to get a team to work harder, and players and coaches to bond more.

It's about having accountability though. You have to be buying into the system,and i think these players, are buying into these coaches.

We'll see. Four of the next 5 are on the road. A team can really bond on the road, or they can fall apart. We'll see.

an opportunity lost.

This is has been our mantra this year.

 

[Fishy]

This is has been our mantra this year.

Not really.

This is only the second time we've been able to blow an opportunity - normally, we're just getting face f---ed by mid-majors.

So things are looking up!

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I don't want to hear Weist perform ritual suicide or the more typical Pasqualoni/Edsall press conference blaming it on execution. Can we just have a coach that provides an intelligent, objective, analysis of what happened?

 

[gars44]

I really don't think he deserves "blame" for a loss. Better clock management with 16 seconds left gets us what? Another chance to make a pass that maybe gets us to another 47 yard fg attempt. A lot of hope and prayer in there. Wasn't done right at the end, but it's not like we gave the game away in those 9 lost seconds either.
