UConn-USF game thread

I wish I were watching ESPN News

I wish I was sniffing glue

If the OL can't block anyone, then there's no point in putting Boyle in.

This is what happens when you don't take the exhibition games seriously

I picked a terrible day to stop sniffing glue

Spot on.

The problem is offensive play calling.

 

[Dooley]

The one positive thus far: our backs are damn good. Run hard and finish runs when they're not getting crushed as soon as they get the ball.

Johnson trying his best to do it by himself right now but the line is just too terrible

Whitmer must sit. UConn a ton of legitimate D-1 talent. Many of these guys couldn't play at Trinity. O-line disgraceful. D-line puts no pressure on QB. D-backs awful. And OBI isnt even a football player.

 

[huskysupporter]

Is there one tight end on this roster who wants to block!?!

 

[TheRogers]

That's another UCONN.....FOURTH DOWN!!!

There's a lot of problems out there but the play calling clearly doesn't help. How have they not changed the passing game to slants and screens to limit the O Line's exposure?

 

[Dove]

Serious play diversity there

Theyy'd be doing much better if they weren't running off delays, etc.

You have not completed a pass all game. Why are you in the shotgun with a delay handoff?

UConn needs to simplify here. Smash their face in by running it, and when you drop back to pass, keep Whitmer's eyes on the field (instead of fakes) and force him to stand on a f'ckin dime.

+1

 

[Tommyboy]

I can't believe this is a division 1 team's offensive line.

 

[RedStickHusky]

Checking in from incheon airport. Not a great start?

Remember, Coach Diaco said he simplified things for struggling line.

Play action would have worked...but no let's let them know we're running on 3rd and 1

 

[ZOOCONN]

Really like how Ron runs the rock, fights for yardage and always finishes the run going forward

 

[TRest]

Our offense was innovative in 1968. I haven't seen so many I formations in a college game anywhere in years. And it's not because of the weather.

 

[huskysupporter]

Byron Jones pass breakup. Strike up the band.

 

[UConnJim]

I really have not understood the O philosophy this year. Plays need to be called to hide the weaknesses. Instead, the play calling highlights our weaknesses.

 

[mets1090]

No idea how you can say play action would work given the lines inability to hold blocks.

Hahaha

We obviously need to simply further.

Let's just say the mojo isn't going to require you to stop watching games after your flight.

The gruesome nature of the product on the field might.

 

[TRest]

LOL. Try to put some pressure on the punter next time, just for and giggles?

 

[junglehusky]

Nice punt by Baguette. Ciabatta. Ciabatti. Whatever.
