I'm watching the game on my iPhone...the battery is about to die and I couldn't be happier.

What is really scary is that our defense, the only reason we won 5 games last season, is so clearly much worse than last year.

The fact they are losing both the offensive and defensive LOS is inexcusable. I don't care if they're No. 1 in 1-AA. I agree with earlier post. The same tendencies that stuck with us all year are back again. Let me guess. Des is saying we're saving our best plays for MD UM and the AAC schedule. Borderline unwatchable.

And I actually admire what Rob Ambrose has done with Towson. He has a lot of the elements that built the UConn program through Edsall's first half. I think he can be a solid HC at an up & coming program. in FBS. Better than UMass's guy. Better than a bunch of others.

I'd say so ... at this moment. We HAD a good defense. But, I see HOLES in the roster that we never had with HCRE. We are just not as capable. Ambrose seems to have a full complement.

Did we just go back to the HCRE era of strictly zone defense?



I was fearing that. A couple of recent quotes indicated that we'd back off a little from Brown's scheme with less pressure. I took that to mean Hughs might go back to the Edsall D and some "bend don't break". I hoped it wouldn't be so.

Towson is the better team. It's actually not even close. This may be heading for a blowout.

- listening on WHUS- Towson driving- with bad snaps and all- how bad are we? Have the players already given up?

Yeah, every play over the last 5 minutes at least has been zone... way to destroy the awesome defense we had last year!

I thought the defense played with confidence last year. I don't see that now.

Towson commits what should be a drive killing penalty, but terrible coverage lets Wilkins get wide open for the 88582895893589843'rd time tonight. Then a PI on us. Unbelievable.
