On paper that looks ok but how we have gotten to this point is what is being critiqued.

we had a thread about this. Yes, everyone is happy with the season, writ large. But Some of the basic, elementary clock management and strategy is pretty brutal. Put any average kid playing Madden and he'd do a better job managing the clock.

Hopefully they open things up and play to win the fuctin game in the second half

Anyone else notice it looked like Bryant has a badly bruised right thumb?

If it's so simple then why is it botched on sidelines all over college football on any given Saturday (hell, on Sunday/Monday's too)?

We most certainly do have talent. Play calling is inept today. Quick throws over the middle are open if called. Only once did we target Meyers over the middle. We threw deep but to Bloom--a tight end--insane call. Our receivers know where they're going--their DB's don't. It's wet. They are strong against the run but weak against passing game. Quick hitting passes are the call. No imagination.

But the average kid playing Madden would be too fat and lazy to get his ass outside on a football field.

This is probably its own thread. Short answer: when scared of making mistakes, people often choose over-cautious, rather than over-aggressive, strategy. In many cases(see 4th-and-shorts in positive territory) this is the incorrect mathmatical strategy. But, because easier to play "by the book" easier to justify than innovative aggressive strategies, coaches actually &k up these types of decisions a thousand times a game.

Over-Cautious is the worst.

It has been ugly as hell though.

This isn't even an argument. I'd assume Diaco and a lazy fat kid are very different.
 
UConn simply doesn't seem to know how to run a conservative offense. Seems like it ought to be easy, but....

Why don't we block anyone on Punts? The 3 guys back to block up the middle just let the outside guy come through every time.
