Had we not had 2 backbreaking turnovers 1st half this might've be a different game. Confidence killers.

Throw the freaking ball

I get what your saying but it hasn't stopped Memphis playing neck and neck with UCLA, or Northern Illinois beating Nebraska or Airforce playing neck nd neck with Michigan.

Memphis recruits in SEC territory, the academies (well, Army in alternating centuries) are regularly tough outs with highly disciplined, tough and motivated players, and somehow NIU has captured lightning in a bottle, though recruiting in BiG territory probably helps.

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.

some of you are so dramatic

 

[SubbaBub]

That play needs to be in the rotation more.

 

[BugsyCT]

There we go, Mayala.

 

[UConnDan97]

Nice TD right there. Assist to Crozier for the heads up snap the play before...

 

[BugsyCT]

Playing without a long snapper?

 

[Jax Husky]

Alright. At least something encouraging amd some momentum. Sure would like those 4 points right now though (field goal and extra pt)

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

So, we need better 2 pt conversion plays.

 

[NavinRJohnson]

There is a lot of work to be done after watching Memphis against UCLA.

Too bad Beth Mowins is calling that game. Can't listen to her.

 

[jdb50]

77 Rutherford makes this mistake way too often

 

[Huskygamble19]

Heres drama drama for you..By the the time this team is somewhat competitive...I will be dead!!

 

[UConnDan97]

Playing without a long snapper?

I think Zecchino was sick and couldn't make the trip. Probably part of our kicking decisions...

What's the down side to giving the back-up long snapper Keating reps?

 

[LoyalFanCT]

Don't you guys think that UConn is playing a lot cleaner in the second half. Maybe a sign of good things to come. I credit the coaches.

 

[Jax Husky]

No, we need tov take the easy field goals and extra points.

 

[SubbaBub]

This game has 31-20 written all over it. Then we get to listen to 7 days of BS about how we turned it around in the 2nd half.

I said it earlier, I feel a lot more confid3nt in Edsall getting things fixed than our previous regime.

 

[Rocktheworld]

Shirrefs made some serious plays to make that drive a success but he consistently made bad reads on the option.

I will hunt down this play-by-play idiot myself if I head him use the word "heady" one more time

 

[BlueDogs]

Bryant is a real warrior, still battling...

True, but we need winners that are warriors.

some of you are so dramatic

It's not drama. It's called a logical observation. The theory of the 3-3 relies on speed and deception to overcome bigger slower players. That differential closes at the D1 level. In FCS, you have generally very large players of a D1 caliber that are much slower. It doesn't appear to translate well.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Our offense can do stuff

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Silver lining - this game is flying by.

 

[UConnDan97]

No, we need tov take the easy field goals and extra points.

The first 2 point conversion made sense (8x4=32) to try to catch up. This conversion attempt was probably unnecessary at this point...

 

[SubbaBub]

I think RE needs to change is the lack of guys flying to the ball. That KO ret should have been buried. Instead a lot of guys standing around.
