I'm sure the play is drawn up that if the DB doesn't try to jump the screen, the QB throws the screen and then the two lineman block downfield for him anyways and he still breaks it. The play was just doomed. The way it happened was Cam tried to make a play and got blocked 4 yds deep into the sideline before the ball was even thrown and because of the lame ass rules that favor the offense, it's "legal".
It didn’t take a rocket scientist to count that they had 4 people out wide and we had on different plays 2 or 3 defenders. If you give the offense an extra player and a play which the defense isnt’ aware of, big plays shouldn’t be shocking.
Not sure the word fan applies to those posters that you are describing. The better word might be troll. Most of them are men's BB fans only who don't go to the football games and don't care about the program .Yet, they some how get delight by trashing the football program. As a fan of all the Uconn programs, I will never understand the Uconn trolls on this website. But that's just me. On to the Duke game.
Why a 180 lb DB though he'd get through offensive linemen from that close is hard to wrap my head around. He ran right into that block... it was more funny than upsetting in the context of the game at that point.
Just a personal gripe for me. I hate the blocking that's allowed at the line of scrimmage on screen plays. I'm aware a heavy dose of our plays take advantage of the same rules, it's just with all the advantages offenses have with all the penalties and ticky tack fouls that are called, this one basically prohibits a defensive player an opportunity to make a play on the ball unless he can see the future. Certainly an old man yelling at cloud argument from me.
Meant to point this out on chat, it moves too fast for my slow fingers though. Seems as though every rush, blitzing or otherwise pushed to the outside leaving the middle wide open for young Mr Tarkenton.
The band stayed on the field throughout that as well. They usually vacate 5 minutes earlier.
Understanding (most of) them isn’t hard. They blame the football program for remaking the old Big East into the American and not asking to go with the Catholic schools into the new Big East.
Student were in the Halloween spirit. They attended dressed as ghosts.
Ref had the over on a 7 leg parlay. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Had to seat geek my 3 tickets in the upper deck because of my kid's soccer game. Lowered the price to $4 on Saturday morning, still couldn't sell 'em.
A couple years back, at the peak of their Twitter spaces (or whatever) one of the Cool UConn Basketball Online Guys (TM) got really mad when I insisted UConn as a a university overall has a lot more in common with Pitt or WVU than Creighton or DePaul, it’s weird.
I don't know what else they have to do, to be honest.
There will be a verry sizable showing v. Duke. When the program is winning and there are teams with some level of brand recognition or consequence, they show. You have to remember, it’s was pretty bleak for a good decade +.
LOL. I’ve said that many times only to be told that Seton Hall and St John’s are universities. We are a major national university. The rest of the NBE save Georgetown are basically regional schools with men’s basketball programs. Most are little more than commuter schools.
Exactly. Houston is a top 25 team in the thick of the Big12 race, and hosted WVU yesterday. Announced attendance was 25k, and people think there was maybe only 15k. It’s not just an us problem
Your horniness is creepy
