yo, maybe we aren't good this year?

At 7-0 even 10-0 we were looking the better side before the turnovers. Then UVa catches a deflected ball on 3rd and 10. That was game.

Please stop.

That settles it. Zero talent on this team. #25 gets run over like he was already on his back. Other guys getting blown up all over the field on both sides of the ball.

Yup. D is weak, slow and out of position.

That's not a talent problem. It's a soft mentality problem on D. It also is lackk of size problem with DBs that wear down.

 

[jazyj]

Lol -- their number 4 or ours? Both are killing us.

Both

 

[AdamaNation]

Not to be a downer. But why are we still focused on football here? It's actually hurting everything else here. We cannot be the worst team in D1. We can't. I'm happy they are going for it all the time today inb4th down but this is the most embarrassing product we have shown in a generation. VA is not even ranked and they look like bama 2012 or USC 04.

 

[RioDog]

Wow.What a ship show.

 

[bigAbruns]

Not trying to put the full blame on BS but blowing 14 free points put our D in this spot.

7 points.....te screwed up by dropping an easy td

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Please stop.

Say what you will.

UVA has more talent, more speed and more depth on both sides of the ball. This score should not be a surprise to anyone. Any time we play teams from the big boy P5 conferences we're going to be in trouble. To be quite honest, with our current talent, we would be a lower level Team in the MAC.

 

[UCFBfan]

We might not win this game but I want to see us come out of the half making adjustments and at least looking competitive. That's lvl I'm looking for out of this game.

Anyone coming into this season thinking we were going to be good or even decent are getting their wake up call if they didn't get it during our game vs HC.

We're not that good and it's going to take a season or two to turn this around

How bout his noodle arm, or terrible ball security, or inability to read a defense, or missing wide open WRs, or just his overall lack of ability

How about answering the actual question?
BTW I think he reads the defense well... They are on him in under a second each snap.

 

[BugsyCT]

New staff & schemes, players that are conditioned to losing, opponent smells blood after a couple back-breaking turnovers, and everything snowballs.

Bad combo.

 

[Waquoit]

Some here wanted to cancel a soccer game for this?

The OLine aint the problem today

 

[TRest]

I chose to postpone mowing the yard to tomorrow and miss NFL for this. Still not mowing the yard! I'll stick out the second half for now

Better games are on later today

 

[Matt10]

Honestly this game lean in UV way when we punted on the first drive

 

[TyroneShoo]

You are right! it isn't a talent issue.. just need bigger tougher and better players.

 

[DCUconnfan]

Putting the blinders on, it should be 17-14 Virginia. I pray for some second half resurrection like last game. Side note, I also agree with the comment about wanting to have played usf to get the ass kicking out and learn/progress some more before playing a completely winnable game.

 

[Palatine]

The fumble inside the five. That is almost always a game killer. It's how we beat West Virginia.

Interestingly, a fumble inside the 5-yard line (same end zone) by Hernandez (playing WR) was a killer at Virginia ten years ago.

 

[huskymedic]

The OLine aint the problem today

Oh yes it is... Not the only problem but it's a turnstile.

 

[cryjeremiah]

He's responsible for two horrible red zone turnovers. There are a lot of problems but your statement is not true in the slightest.

Your frustration or lack of football knowledge is showing, Dove.

Mayala clearly ran the wrong route. Left BS hanging. Coaches were in Mayala's face immediately.

And the fumble, yeah that sucks. But he is also the guys who just ran the ball all the way downfield to get to that spot and that key hit. I don't think you minded all those yards and the aggressiveness to get there, did you? Fumbles as a byproduct of effort happen, deal with it.

Eh, my kids get up from naps at 3 so my viewing time is limited

 

[Marty Jackson]

Another example of uconn making their opponent look like NC contenders.

Who knew UVA was this Good?

 

[SubbaBub]

That's not a talent problem. It's a soft mentality problem on D. It also is lackk of size problem with DBs that wear down.

The most frustrating thing is the lack of recognition of the plays coming at them. UVA (and every opponent) has 4-5 yd gains in their pockets before we even react. When they do reach the ball in the back field or at the line they miss the tackle badly. Then there is the 8yd pitch and catches to WR with no UConn player even in the frame. I'm not kidding about the chairs. If you play press coverage with a chair there is at least a small chance the offensive player will trip over it. Out D is actively vacating the space.
