UConn-USF game thread

[TimTCT]

Can we stick with ONE FRACKING RB please! Preseason is over.

 

[scdono]

This game sucks

 

[NavinRJohnson]

We are screwed if our punter gets hurt.

 

[BugsyCT]

Punt bounced less than a foot in the endzone. Killer.

Atrocious play calling Brutal

We get a gift 1st down which was essentially a USF turnover since it was 4th down, and THAT is what we come up with for a series of play calls? I get it, Whitmer is our only healthy QB. But you mean to tell me that he can't take a shotgun snap and instantly throw a Fade route to Davis when the other team has 9 in the Box?!

 

[Kevin Caliendo]

Uconn is not passing because whitmer is their only QB and they re afraid he's going to get hurt. this is so embarrassing. Worst program ever.

There is really no reason for this program to continue. as soon as its clear there is no P5 invite coming, they should close up shop and save the school millions of dollars. or maybe they can beg the ACC or b1g to invite them for hoops and olympics only

 

[Dooley]

I really don't understand the complete non-use of Davis.

 

[UConnJim]

OC sucks tbh. bad oline or not.

I've said this over and over. Quick handoffs and quick slants. Forces the defense to back up. With a weak OL, you don't run play action, deep drops, and slow developing plays.

 

[Jimdish255]

Diaco must privately have a very low opinion of his team.

He's been trying to keep hope alive among these guys so they don't fall apart completely. O-line killing this team. Whitmer is, well....

I really don't understand the complete non-use of Davis.

No excuse for it.

 

[sportsart]

Heavy rain and only 1 QB is enough to change the game plan. If Boyle is out more than 1 game, then we'll really be screwed.

 

[FDNY99]

when I turned on the game tonight and saw the rain falling I didn't have a warm fuzzy feeling...our OL play just doesn't generate that. But this has been beyond bad tonight! They flat out suck!

 

[Skiblets]

I could not imagine trying to announce this game and trying to keep it compelling

Privately?

 

[gars44]

all you guys dumping on Diaco and the playcalling, I'd like to see what you would do with this mess.

 

[uconnbill]

dammit first down

 

[Skiblets]

I am quickly becoming an energy vampire

 

[UCFBfan]

It's a complete joke if the reason they aren't using Whitmer as a QB and not someone to hand the ball off is because they're afraid he'll get hurt....if that's the case, let him play and if he gets hurt Knape can just take the snap and hand off and then block at the same time.

 

[uconnbill]

how about a play action pass on first down just one time

 

[scdono]

Really...

 

[BugsyCT]

Adams had him stopped, and still got plowed thru for 4 extra yards.

 

[UConn76]

this is major college football? is there a record for how far into a game a team hasn't had a completed pass?

 

[mets1090]

all you guys dumping on Diaco and the playcalling, I'd like to see what you would do with this mess.

It's not that play calling would fix the offense. It's that the current play calling plays to the offensive line's weaknesses (particularly in the passing game). It makes no sense to have long developing plays when you have a line that can't hold blocks.

 

[UConnJim]

all you guys dumping on Diaco and the playcalling, I'd like to see what you would do with this mess.

Call a quick slant to Davis for a start.
