True, but we need winners that are warriors.

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.

yeah that's why most teams don't go to the nickel for the majority of games now. that definitely doesn't happen.

we just don't have the players for it right now. it'll get better

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

I'm just not a fan of using the formula when down by 25 in the third. Take the point and the momentum.

Lol

Its all moot now

This secondary is TERRIBLE

 

[uconnphil2016]

Wow. What a catch by UVA!! Can't believe he made the grab given that we had a DB practically glued to him. Glued meaning halfway across the field from him...

Well, you just saw the reason why Edsall felt he had to chase the game with 8 points at a time, unfortunately...

 

[SubbaBub]

75% comp rate by UVA w/ 5 DB's. smh.

 

[BugsyCT]

Aaaand another TD. Can't have 2 seconds to feel good about anything. Unreal.

 

[uconnphil2016]

We've made Kurt Benkert look like Kurt Warner

 

[Jax Husky]

Just put Pindell in now. He needs reps.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

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.

Boneyard jinx

 

[RioDog]

Wow the secondary is bad and slow.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

So much for making the final score deceptively close

 

[UConnDan97]

You should only put Pindell in if you think he will soon be the starter. If not, keep Shireffs running the new offense. He needs reps in the new system too...

 

[JcHusky95]

I'm okay with UVA's long TD. It's obvious our defense secondary is terrible. Needs to be addressed. It's good to see our offense back on the field any way it happens. Think RE will sort out defense at some point. Need the offense to gain more and mor confidence.

no pressure on the QB again, running a stunt Foley runs into Ormsby and falls down on his backside as the ball is thrown.

 

[SubbaBub]

The offense, in spite of a questionable commitment to running up the middle, actually did 28 points worth of work in this game. That should be enough to beat UVA. The phantom D is the story today.

 

[BugsyCT]

Pindell needs reps and Shirreffs doesn't need to risk another concussion at garbage time.

 

[WrenchFan69]

Soon be the starter or the season is a lost cause. Very, very, wildly easy to believe the second

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Kid caught the ball pretty much standing still. He ran away from Terry who had a running start. We don't have the players.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Can the band stop playing while we're on the line?

 

[Jax Husky]

Shirreffs takes a lot of hits, and Pindell will likely be the guy for next year.

Yup. Comical.

The season is a lost cause in game #2???

C'mon, folks. Jesus. Today is super bad, but there is still a lot of football to be played and still a lot of goals to try to achieve...
