UConn vs Vanderbilt thread

[UCDaveD]

Some where, Edsall is leaning back in his chair and cackling.

Vandy is got as good as us. We gift-wrapped this game to them, and to their credit they took it...

 

[toke]

He's not even worth spelling his name right.

How did extra time run off the clock like that...offense has two penalties and we lose 30 seconds. Won't change the outcome cause we clearly can't score, but still.

It's how it works. Rutgers ran out the clock at Rentschler by false starting in either 05 or 07. I'm too annoyed to think about it.

1st down: run
UConn timeout
2nd down: run, offensive penalty
reset 2nd down, clock runs

HUH?

 

[UConn2SF]

were those vandy penalties by design? to run time off the clock?

they should be ashamed

I actually feel bad for Mac, clearly he doesn't want this to happen. This has to be on the P and the offensive staff. Can't let a kid twist in the wind like that, need to have a bit of Spurrier in yeah and yank that cat out if he's not doing the job. I don't make my living coaching football, so I'll allow that P and the Offensive staff knows more than I do, but unless you're ray charles you could see that Mac wasn't cutting it.

If that is a way to take time off the clock I would do it intentionally over and over again to make it so blatant how dumb the rule is.

 

[whaler11]

Yes, the only thing the officials can do in that position is call unsportsmanlike conduct if they feel the penalties are being committed intentionally. Let me know when you see that happen.

 

[mauconnfan]

Agreed palantine.......

 

[SubbaBub]

Ugh. No confidence against an Iowa St team that beat Iowa today.

 

[nebrich]

Nebrich next week...? Let's hear it!

 

[TRest]

Some where, Edsall is leaning back in his chair and cackling.

Randy would have coached this one exactly the same on offense.

 

[Northbound]

Ugh. No confidence against an Iowa St team that beat Iowa today.

+100

 

[uconntailgater]

We'll be lucky to finish 4-8.

 

[whaler11]

Randy would have coached this one exactly the same on offense.

Actually he would have realized there was no way Vanderbilt could score and not thrown the ball on third down.

 

[BigEastCT]

tenn, vandy, nc....this is why the big east sucks

 

[john2153]

Randy would have coached this one exactly the same on offense.

He wouldn't have thrown it on that 3rd and 9.

 

[TRest]

Actually he would have realized there was no way Vanderbilt could score and not thrown the ball on third down.

Remember rutgers last year? We choked away a lead in the 4th quarter trying to throw the ball.

 

[epark88]

I just can't fathom how they could see Mac struggling all night and then call that pass play when all they had to do was run it, punt the friggin' ball and ride our lights-out defense to the win.

Bad, bad job by the coaches tonight...

 

[Stinger92860]

He wouldn't have thrown it on that 3rd and 9.

You run, then punt there and I like our chances....not a smart call. Again, throw it away .....
