Mora: "Our offense has not been anywhere close to what it needs to be"
UConn's head coach identifies offensive woes and the effect they're having on the team.
Has TR been making any audible calls, didn't seem like it to me but not sure I would recognize if he was. Did seem like UConn takes very long time to get call in and often look back to bench like wanting them to decide if play should be changed, good teams (I would think) have set up so QB sees bad defense set up (or something to take advantage of) and has several go to alternatives that all of offense can quickly switch to as a play.Those most often happen when the offense finds a gap in the coverage or the defense completely misses the assignment.
So finding a gap in the coverage is on the OC or the QB who can audible the route of a receiver at the line of scrimmage. Or the OC can call in the audible to offense pre snap.

Coaching Kidz says:
"Because audibles are usually called at the last second before the play begins, the quarterback is the person who yells them out and relays the message to the rest of their teammates on the field.
Coaches, offensive and defensive coordinators, assistant coaches and the many other people who are strategizing and calling out plays don’t call audibles in any situation.
Audibles are often called at the last possible moment before the play begins because doing so gives the defense less time to adjust to the new play call."
Per above seems like the looking to bench after getting to line of scrimmage would not be an audible by this definition, just play calling. TR would have to change play after seeing defense for it to be an audible. Same question, is he doing and how has it been working if he doesn't why not; also, are opponents calling audibles against our starting defense each play and how is UConn disguising its defense.
Tell me something we don't all know. UConn cannot do that? I guess not.Those most often happen when the offense finds a gap in the coverage or the defense completely misses the assignment.

What I have watched is that the opponent has no problem with man coverage given our receiver's lack of ability to get open. Against FIU I was at a birthday party and thus a bit distracted. But I even saw TR throw into double man coverage. And against NCST they were practically hanging off UConn's receivers.
I think we want torrential rain and wind… slop favors of the slow plodders.Latest weather report looking better. Rain holding to the south. Still a chance…but no monsoons!
Bring on the rains giddyup, the more slop the betterI think we want torrential rain and wind… slop favors of the slow plodders.

Says someone who never fought for their country. Maybe you should shut up and appreciate the men who allowed you to say really stupid stuff on the internet.
Depends on whether it’s successful or notis that good or bad?

Well, NCST was a super quick team. Not so good against a team like that. Looks like Duke could be a ground war given the weather forecast. So we shall see. My guess is that any ranked team should be able to shut that down against UConn.is that good or bad?

The play call is the play call and I'm definitely not a scheme expert but key in on the missed blocks - If #51/#62 knocked their man off stride before pulling and #14 made his initial responsibility block the play develops differently. (Where's @Kgun7 when you need him!)Maybe someone has noted this but take a quick look at the video 6 seconds in ... then watch it at 8 seconds in. Charlton is setting the offense up for failure. I'll admit don't know football much beyond most here but I don't think you need to be an expert to see how improbable the task is for each player on this call alone. 2nd and 11 ...
Start of the play its immediately clear how easy it is going to be for FIU's CBS to defend but freezing it 2 seconds that's really telling ... the FIU CBS's have barely budged while the WR's are doing Juke dance moves 8 - 10 yards off ... instead of protecting the QB Charlton is asking 300 lb OL men to sprint half way across the field for a block on a play that develops in 2/3 seconds while asking his fastest most skilled players to pretty much stay in place.
At 9 seconds in frozen, the OL men are sucking wind and look like ... well OL men running ...not even close to the ball catch to make their blocks. At least use those OL to protect the QB buy some time and have your WR's move around a little...Am i missing something?
I'm not defensing the plays, but I looked at the 4 plays in the video and this is what I saw.Maybe someone has noted this but take a quick look at the video 6 seconds in ... then watch it at 8 seconds in.

I hate to admit this but I expect a victory every time they take the field & would not tune in otherwise. It can be tough taking all the disappointment but I refuse to except defeat before hand.We're winning this game on Saturday, ladies and gents. I don't know why I have that feeling, but I just do. Maybe it was the second half defense. Maybe it's the fact that I detest Duke.
But we're winning this game...
