Lashlee has some plays that are working. He just keeps going back to the ones we know won't. Too many freak plays and zero ability to dictate play.

have you considered the concept of setting up plays? The offense hasn't been terrible outside of the turnovers.

Could UConn still win this game? Any intensely loyal fans out there!

We haven't stopped anyone on third down in 6 years

Go look at the inside runs and tell me they are the work of competent coaching. The rest looks fine and the players suck but, part of the deal is trying to help them succeed. Running into a line that can't run block is the very definition of not helping.

Every blitz we have thrown has been so slow it doesn't even look like a blitz

we aren't going to win games because we can't run the football, but the only way you get better is to practice it and get better players. we're not set up to throw the ball 60 times a game.

Win? no

Still make some plays to have something to build on? Yes.

That is exactly why we won't win games. Notice that once they adjusted to account for BS scrambling we have zero rushing yards.

Our defense is just really far behind. Not sure if it's the new formation, the personnel, or both. The offense hasn't actually been that bad. But right now, Virginia had had the ball for 28 minutes to our 18. 2 big turnovers in the red zone and 10 extra minutes of offense, and this is what it looks like...

 

[uchusky32]

Can't block, no speed or playmakers on either side of the ball. Can't get penetration on D.

On the bright side we will try to advance the ball on kickreturns. Not sure about our puntreturn plan. Nat many opportunities.

With a low production offense, you better have a heck of D... gonna be a tough year looking at this mess.

 

[DCUconnfan]

Fun fact, I actually thought we would win this game. Hate as you will, pessimistic boneyard, you were right.

Carrezola got held on that too.

 

[LoyalFanCT]

UConn should be able to score in this next drive as long as they stop making high school team type mistakes!

 

[SubbaBub]

TE sighting!!

 

[SubbaBub]

Outside - bueno, inside - no bueno.

 

[huskyinfl]

You're still harping on something that nobody said?

History revisionist.

Can we hold them under 650?

Over/under?

That second down play was so slow I thought there was a whistle

I put this squarely on Bobby Fiasco...other than the D which is an abomination IMO. It's a gimmick that appears not to hold up in big boy football, let alone IAA. To much speed and no differential to leverage with 5 DBs covering and trying to do run support.

Bryant is a real warrior, still battling...

Do you give pindell a series. 3 Td' s with 2 pt conversions still isn't enough.

Take the loss, give pindell some experience to grow on.
