UConn - ECU Game Thread

[Scoe]

That sucks, should have called a timeout right away and taken a shot at the end zone, screw credit I'm sick of participation trophies i want a win a real win.

 

[noeynox]

Damn.

 

[storrsroars]

ugh.

Lot of heart, solid 2nd half.

 

[huskyniner]

Most UConn way to lose a game.

 

[uchusky32]

Well, well, well!

 

[scoobydoo]

Tarbutt has to make that but he is no more to blame than our D who got torched for 3 quarters

 

[RedStickHusky]

Entertaining game... d has to be better.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

I want to know how it went from 15 seconds to 5 with 1 timeout in the tank. Take a shot!

 

[BugsyCT]

Raw kicker, what can you say? They were in position to get it to OT

 

[jdb50]

Too bad, the life of a kicker, not easy.

 

[Rocktheworld]

The clock continuation call was made by the ref on the far side of the field; must have cost RE a few seconds to realize and call TO. Cost us a shot at the end zone.

Killer

 

[Jimdish255]

Cant miss that. Clock also ran earlier when it shouldnt have. Crucial missed seconds but the story today was no D in the 1st half.

 

[Hoophound]

Tough loss but improvement in second half on both sides of the ball was great. Wish we won as much for the W as for the kid's condfidence. A real shame not to steal that one. Still, let's be honest, this is more fun than getting our clocks cleaned and scoring 3 points.

 

[minidarren]

Who last year would have thought we would be putting up nearly 600yds of total offense this year and still losing games?

 

[Rocktheworld]

Tarbutt has to make that but he is no more to blame than our D who got torched for 3 quarters

And then Tre Bell went out...

 

[tjhusky]

No moral victories. I hope we learned/grew enough today to put us in position to win some games.

 

[JMick]

This is the only time I'll complain about the offense today, but I hated that playcall. I don't know why we didn't roll Shirreffs right so if nothing was there he could set us up in the center of the field for the kick. oh well.

 

[scoobydoo]

And then Tre Bell went out...

Tre Bell was making other guys miss tackles? Wow.

I saw plenty of young players on D in the second half

Disagree, with Bryant's tendency to hold the ball too long, a sack after the clock runs out is too big a risk. Right play is to call a timeout and kick the 33 yarder.

 

[Palatine]

They must have made 400 yards before contact. That scheme is awful.

From my count, 6 freshman saw a lot of playing time, especially in the second half. Hahn, Swenson, Fortt, Coyle, Beavers, Herring-Wilson were all out there starting or playing a lot in the 2nd.

 

[storrsroars]

Entertaining game... d has to be better.

Summers at least looked competent in 2nd half. Gotta find someone to take some of Bell's snaps though.

 

[Uconnalliance]

What a bummer nice comeback hopefully shapes of a bright future

 

[LRock34]

Defense is terrible but two weeks in a row our QB has missed gimme plays that if converted we could be 3-0. Not to take away from his 2nd half performances the last two weeks but the ups and downs, missed throws and turnovers followed by great plays is what is so maddening about him at QB

I get that you aren't a BS fan but come on, the guy played great today.
