UCONN vs Western Michigan 1st Half Game Thread

Coach PP looks a senile old man who wandered out of the stands. The watercooler is more inspiring.

Lol. He looks healthy up at a podium but during games he looks like he's in a Preperation H commercial.

We can't bust a grape up front.

I'm frustrated. Halftime. Gotta go do some chores...

Why not take that out nick??? Who cares if tackled at ten?

I'm not saying it's the coaches but Williams is awfully hesitant to run the ball on any type of special teams.... Untypical of a returning national leader.

I really miss Robbie Frey. Just think McCombs would have made a nice complementary back for him.

Anyhow we have a very weak running game due to lack of depth. The 2-ring QB circus is a joke. Why not return the kick with 22 secs left? We can still win this game if the coaches and players can learn from the first half and start kicking some you know what in the second.

 

[epark88]

Yes. The defense is very good. Top 25 quality.

Yup, quality guys on the D, no doubt.

They make plays, but they tend to not make THE play. See the end of the Vandy and ISU games...

So what are you saying?

You think a coach is instructing him to be hesitant?

Well it doesn't help that our offense can't keep them off of the damn field. The D must be gassed at the end of games.

They can only do so much. When you continuously have to go in after 3's and outs from the O, it's tough. Despite that, they are a top 20 D (statistically, not just my opinion)

There is no defense that can just flat shut a team out consistently.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Stop the stupid mistakes and go back to the slants and short passes that worked last week. This offense is so predictable.

I think you make a great point. This has been the team's problem for a LOOONG time. I also think that with how generally useless the offense is, the D gets no rest, and is so often put in bad field position that shrinks the D's margin of error since it often only takes 1-2 first downs for the other team to immediately be in FG range.

I'm considering this a red-shirt season for this coaching staff. As a unit they are terrible this far. Maybe Coach is a little rusty..so next season will be better.

At least I'm a Packers fan.

 

[FluxTZ]

damn, there's the PC Richards whistle.

 

[HuskyBarker]

At least I'm a Dolphins fan... oh wait #%@# Damn it! fml.

 

[epark88]

BC goes down

 

[FluxTZ]

We may end up with more penalty yards than offensive yards by the end of the game.

This is CLEARLY that... I feel bad for the kids because they have to burn a year of their elgibility in the process of learning what they needed to learn in practice in a real game....

 

[ktuck911]

btw, Wilburn should NOT be starting.... Taylor Mack looked much better when he played ahead of him last season as a true frosh....

 

[cryjeremiah]

Why the smallest RB at the goal line? dumb dumb dumb

edit: it works out. TD!!!

 

[sportsart]

Mac refs should be embarrassed.
