UConn vs Temple game thread

[MilliniumPrince]

Wonder if they notice running AN between the tackles is working....

 

[TRest]

Stop running inside, no Bueno today

 

[TheDoggPound]

Samra whiffed again. Yeesh.

 

[Dooley]

Well that couldn't have gone any worse. Hey Verducci: we are not going to line up and run the ball between the tackles against this defense.

 

[BugsyCT]

Running Newsome simply will not work today. Stop it.

 

[cheech63]

horrible

 

[HuskyTx]

yep, game is going to be long and painful....

 

[Vuce]

Not a good job by Diaco so far. If you are going to play vanilla then punt the ball and pin them again. Running ain't working Bob.

 

[Devland]

Newsome is hurt

So am I from his fumble.

 

[noeynox]

Tyler Samra, hit no one on that pull. Newsome never had a chance. Conservative beyond belief.

 

[Skiblets]

Why not run the clock out and talk about it in between periods?

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

It's time to abandon the runs up the gut out of the pro set. It's not going to work.

 

[Tommyboy]

Running Newsome simply will not work today. Stop it.

I mean especially when they know what's coming. Absolutely no chance.

 

[ScottVib]

Fine with deciding to go for it... not fine with the play call. Was actually hoping for a hard-count before the end of the quarter to try and get a free first down, then huddling up between quarters.

 

[TheDoggPound]

Tyler Samra, hit no one on that pull. Newsome never had a chance. Conservative beyond belief.

Yup. Need to get him out of the game before he gets somebody hurt if Newsome isn't hurt already.

 

[BugsyCT]

Can't squander field position like that.

 

[HuskyTx]

this play calling is atrocious. maybe we should take a page from "The Water Boy" and just kneel it 3 times then punt. If we're just going to play to keep the clock running, at least that wont get our guys hurt

 

[cohenzone]

Lousy decision to go for it in the first place. Double down with a play that had a 5% chance of success.

 

[junglehusky]

Temple in the UConn backfield all quarter. Have Newsome catch it in space instead of handing it off to him

 

[Jimdish255]

Been suggesting Max on short yardage all year but no luck. Deep handoff to Newsome when the whole world is ready for it.

 

[polycom]

Samra whiffed again. Yeesh.

He might be the worst player on the field.

 

[4UConn]

Don't have to be Nostradamus for Temple to predict the run. Ridiculous play calling. Open it up!!! They are sending 8 to the line of scrimmage.

 

[Redding Husky]

Punt the freaking ball

This is the New York Giants' offense circa 1973: run up the middle three times, then punt. Or run on first & second downs for no gain, throw deep and miss on third down, then punt.

 

[Jimdish255]

Well, at least Boyle can tackle.

Saved a TD.

After seeing the replay how does Samra still have a job?
