Uhhh, it's a Navy broadcast. CBS SN televises Navy home games. So, they are the home team announcing crew.
 
Only way we win is to force turnovers. Unless major adjustments are happening 2nd half we still have no clue how to stop the triple option. And when they pass downfield their receivers are wide open.

Just force a punt once in a while. They can't gash us up the gut though

Disagree, I thought they were plenty fair to UConn. They only talked about Navy more because they were the only team on the field worth talking about. One announcer was saying Diaco is just a couple players away from beating anyone in the nation. That's some UCONN cheeleading that's not at all grounded in reality.
 
IF, and that's a big IF, you were to believe in the staff's ability to overcome the first half, you would hope they would point to the defense only giving up 14 points, making a goal line stand and blocking an FG. The defense really improved in the second quarter.

Offense needs to only look at the last drive. Line gave Shireffs time, RB's were open out of the backfield and receivers were open underneath.

There's holes in the Navy defense. Running up the gut all game isn't one of them.

Can someone tell BD that they should run the offense like there's 4:00 on the clock all the time?

I think a bigger part of the equation (the offense having some rhythm) is they are going right to the line after the play, not figuring out who comes off the field when three players are sent in from the sideline on each play. That we are constantly changing personnel and always giving the defense the chance to reset eliminates any chance of taking advantage when the opponent's D is on their heels.

It's a good thing BD won the coin toss and gave Navy the ball to start the second half.

At least I'm not the only one who has been pissed that after winning the toss twice we still haven't deferred.

Diaco needs to be willing to play in reverse and have the pass set up the run. 1st play of the game was totally predictable and blown up as such. He is too in love with conservative football. Stop being a p@#$y Bob.
 
See, now that bogus fumble/TD pisses me off a lot more. This is a game if the proper call was made on that.
 
Beals and that Strip TD are evil karma. From what , I don't know what we did to deserve this weekend ruining mojo.
 
This UConn team is abysmal! Honestly, Tulane is the only game I see them winning the rest of the year.

Eh, our D is playing hard. Stopped them on goal line, of course O gave em 7 anyway. Forced a FG they blocked after the Beals boneheaded fumble.

Beals BTW looks lost. Sophomore jinx, regression, I don't what it is but he looked MUCH BETTER as true frosh.

They've settled down, but the way they started this game is incredibly disappointing.

First possession we moved the ball a bit and were at least able to pin them inside their 5, and we let them march 95 yards. Then they went 80 yards the next drive iirc.
 
When you have bigger, faster and stronger athletes consistently being beat, it's coaching. Diaco is working hard to be another coaching disaster.

Bob punting from inside Navy territory was disappointing. You say all week you need to win by finishing drives with TDs and on 4th and short, when its show time you turtle up? Stop being a P@#$Y Bob.

I think it still goes back to RE (inadvertently, because he was so socially awkward) insulting Johnson after we blew them out in 2002.
 
This seems about right.....

  • Your name has taken you into many bitter experiences.
  • The greatest lack in your life is stability and peace of mind.
  • A peaceful and quiet environment, especially out in nature, is one of your greatest desires, but you are constantly taken into chaotic conditions.
  • Because you have high ideals and are a principled person, you have been disillusioned and disappointed in people on many occasions and have experienced much aloneness.

Team doesn't look any better than last year and looks worse in a few places. The last drive should be the offensive blueprint going forward. Big problems at LB and in the secondary.
 
Definition of a "false hope" touchdown at the end of the 1st half there. Navy's going to come out and score on the first possession of the 2nd half, force another turnover and stroll to a 30-point win.
