UConn vs SMU game thread

Just pack it up. No need for injuries.

Hahahahaha

Eat me

We're very young in a lot of spots. I hope that the fan base can weather the bumps and bruises this year, because you can definitely see the improvement. You can definitely see the growth. But we need time...

I'm here to stay

Me too.

 

[Redding Husky]

408 yards passing, -12 rushing.

Many sacks.

 

[BugsyCT]

What a shame. Don't deserve to lose this game by 20+ pts. We competed hard and for nearly the whole game.

I'll be at the Rent next year ready to scream my lungs out when SMU comes to town. Had it with losing to them.

 

[Bomber36]

Hahahahaha

Don't be that .

which five other games can uconn win this season to reach a bowl game?

 

[huskyinfl]

At least we are scoring and semi competitive. Sucks, but its better than the last 6 years because there is some sunshine breaking through for the future.

 

[Palatine]

49 points and that was one of better defensive performances.

Not sure, but we're capable of competing in many of these games if we play like we did today.

 

[BlueDogs]

Good lord our D is s friggin tragedy.

Idc what we pay Lashlee but we need to triple it he can’t leave.

 

[RedStickHusky]

We may not have the pieces in place yet but this team is playing to win and it's obvious the coaches have an idea of how to do that. It's a nice up-tick to be rooting for a team that isn't running away from the game. It will be nicer still when they start knocking off some wins.

While the defense was marginally better and played their tails off, they are still terrible. I still say the coordinator needs to take accountability.

Not sure you understand how college football works. There is no way you or I know if the DC is at fault. One thing I'm sure of, is the DC does not have the talent to be successful in the 3-3-5 defense.

 

[Stainmaster]

Don't be that .

That's just my gut reaction - all I can do is laugh at the football gods...no disrespect to the players.

The D and Crocker needED to take accountability. However, both the D and Crocker are improving, so I think they are taking accountability. Some players are inexperienced, slow, nor fit his system. Crocker is doing his best and I believe he’s figuring out his players. The defense will take a little longer to get to where it needs to be.

Our leading rusher had 23 yards. The OL is what it is. Add that to the 8 or 9 sacks they let up and good god.

Defense is just pathetic beyond description just hope we see progress and sad as it is 49 points and game today and least they showed some against a better offensive team than ECU.

Almost doesn’t matter what we can pay him. He’s not here for the bread. If he’s here next year I’ll be absolutely shocked.

The DC is accountable for the Defense. That's how it works. We have the worst defense in CFB week over week. There is no reason we should be the statistical outlier. Bottom 1/3? Sure, I'll buy. Dead last? No.

Are we really that much worse than last year, though? We were 108 in DFEI last year.

Then my sincere apologies sir.

And not that the cupboard is now bare, but some players graduated. Imagine if Obi was the anchor for the backs in this 3-3-5. There go half the big plays we have had against us that happen 4-6 times a game
