UConn/Cincy game thread

[Stainmaster]

I agree, but I want to see the coach pissed off just once. We've been manhandled tonight and to celebrate something that our efforts had little to do with was bizarre.

We've seen plenty of coach pissed off the past couple of weeks. Screaming at Shirreffs at halftime of last game, the post-USF press conference. Anyone who doesn't think he's pissed regardless of a meaningless gesture hasn't been watching the same team.

We continue to be embarrassed. Week after week,; year after year.

I'm so sick of all the "dynamic" offense people. We don't have the athlete's for an air-raid or run'n'shoot offense. We will likely never have the players for that type of system. Stanford gets by running the football out of power formations. We will get there.

UMass has them?

If anyone wants to see p1ssed off, you're welcome to come over to my house right now. Even my wife is ticked off

But the empty seats! Fans leaving early!

One of these teams has 490 yards in this driving monsoon.

lol.

Edsall understood this and built offensive lines and power running games. He had no clue about how to develop a QB, but he understood that Uconn had to run the ball to have any chance

Shirreffs just threw the worst screen pass I've ever seen.

 

[BugsyCT]

We have a chance to get a cosmetic score here.

This idea that UConn "can't get the players to run a dynamic passing offense" is so stupid. MAC and CUSA teams have it. One in our backyard. The idea they can't do it is just idiotic.

In the era of conference realignment, attracting eyeballs and interest is paramount. Whether you're winning or losing, you're not going to attract the casual football fan with 3 yards and a cloud of dust.

And yes, we are woefully behind the times in that regard.

Not that it matters but that was a bad call to pick up that flag. The guy was holding his arms down, arms draped around him, halfway in the end zone. If he continued his progression to the back of the end zone, jumped and got his arms up, you can't tell me he wouldnt have had a chance

But the Northeast you can't pass the ball! Didn't anyone tell you that!

 

[SubbaBub]

When it's defensive holding, it doesn't matter it the ball was uncatchable. It was uncatchable because he was being held.

It's hard to believe that I eagerly wait eight months every year for games like this.

110 teams understand this but uconn has to Establish The Run! Can't have any of this fancy passing!

 

[upstater]

And ESPN isn't going to give us a replay.

Just hold in the end zone.

That play actually reminded me of the Gronkowski-Carolina Panthers non-call from a couple years ago. Ball was also called uncatachable.

MAC and CUSA offenses aren't competitive with P5 teams defenses. They work against other MAC and CUSA teams.

You make it seem like a run first offense is a bad thing. It's not. They're different philosophies and there is nothing wrong with a pro-style offense. Florida State just won a national championship with one two years ago... Stanford is successful year after year. Michigan has been successful. Michigan St. etc. etc.

 

[Stainmaster]

What the actual F was that onside kick??

 

[Skiblets]

Please tell me we didn't try an onsides kick. Please please

 

[BugsyCT]

We're just overmatched. Same old same old.

 

[minidarren]

Cincinnati fans left because UCONN is so bad.

 

[zls44]

Bob was trying to win the game.

I mean, a play earlier he settled for a 35 yard field goal right against the end zone, but he's trying to win.
