UConn vs Temple game thread

[BugsyCT]

First down. Get tot the locker room.

 

[Tommyboy]

An offense not as good as Memphis in his opinion? Good lord man.

 

[Jimdish255]

We're setting ourselves up to get a punt under pressure.

 

[whaler11]

It's Lightning 2 Islanders 1.

 

[Dooley]

I thought maybe it was the 1:12 TD:INT ratio that made him not a D-I QB.

Well, yeah, there's that too.

 

[noeynox]

because unfortunately we have no one better

doubt this. I think Rutherford is better. Coaches seem to be going with SR.

 

[ScottVib]

holy cow.. rushing first down and to the half only down 10.

 

[Jimdish255]

I'll take 10-0 and a chance to regroup.

 

[Redding Husky]

Potential skill position recruits aren't going to be blown away by our offense. It's like watching paint dry.

But next year, Shirreffs is back and everyone is a year older. We won't look like this in September 2016.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Rotating QB fails 98% of the time, yet our staff thinks it is a viable option.

They need to regroup at halftime and just pick Boyle or Anderson and go with it. This is 2014 Diaco nonsense.

In fairness, everyone knew what would happen if BS went down.

 

[HuskyTx]

61 total yards in a half.... that is an abomination

He does his homework, obviously.

 

[Dooley]

Thank goodness for Bryant Sheriffs this season. We've all been reminded just how putrid our offense is without him. I hope he'll be okay for our bowl game and 2016.

 

[jdb50]

Anderson plays like Bryant so keep him in. What do we have to lose? Need to play to win here, not to keep it close.

I hope so, because right now we have a bunch of cardboard cutouts on the offensive line trying to block real men.

 

[Jimdish255]

Even though Boyle is limited, I think he knows the offense and the personnel better than Andersen and we should go with him. The passes have not been bad except for one but he needs to settle in to pick out the right receiver. It's not going to be perfect but he's the most experienced. QB carousels have not worked for us - ever.

 

[BoatShow]

If we throw on 1st down just once it will completely wreck their world. I've already been heckled more than Santa Claus by these Philly fans give me a reason to cheer

 

[HuskyDogArt]

If I read the posts...and just the post, I'd have thought Temple was up by 28-0. Our D is doing great as usual. Now Garrett needs to be the QB...not Boyle. (We need to tell Boyle to look elsewhere...)

 

[Chin Diesel]

Okay, so UConn has proven it can be totally ineffectual, not score and have zero chance of winning for 30 min.

Let's open up the playbook for the next 30 and try something fun and exciting.

Teme has zero respect for UConn throwing more than 5 yards.

Boyle missed a wide open Beals with a terrible overthrow. He pulled out early on a play and got called for illegal procedure. We have seen him in the past. Try Anderson as he may be able to move the chains.

Agree, but we also need solid #2. A 2nd concussion to BS and he's out for good. TB is obviously not our #2. All you have to do is watch the Temple D key on Arkeel to know they don't respect TB's arm or legs at all. QB #2 has to be GA or TD.

 

[HuskyDogArt]

How many QB will we have next year? Until NOI day, I see we have 3 unofficially coming in?

 

[weyuo]

Anderson doesn't have the timing down with the receivers the way Boyle does(LOL like we'll ever see slants and play action passes on first down). What he does possess is a scrambling mentality that Boyle doesn't have. Unfortunately to beat Temple the QB needs both(Boo Hoo No Sherriffs). So.... can Verducci call up short passing plays or screens on first down and maybe a option on second? Temple is loading the box so much that there must be an over the top play they can come up with to get the Owl D to back off.

 

[UConnDan97]

If we are going to stick with Boyle, and that's a big "if", then please for the love of God let the kid operate from the shotgun. Under center, he even kills our ability to run the ball! And oh yeah, the false start on the QB wasn't special either.

The kid has a nice arm, but get him in the gun and give him the extra time to think. Run the backs out of the draw, or get them moving with a screen. Shotgun for Boyle, please...
