Where are you going with this?
Your posts have taken on a decidedly negative feel. And you have become increasingly critical of the decisions being made. Which is understandable to an extent. Like I said, I don't agree with every decision being made, but people continue to comment that G.Stewart takes poor angles, can't tackle, etc. He's going to be a RS JR in college football years and spent a year at Florida. If he couldn't learn anything there, how/why would he learn anything here in the AAC at Uconn? There have been many head scratching plays/decisions this season. If players can't perform simple tasks, what is the staff supposed to ask of them? They're young, in-experienced and will hopefully grow from year 1 to 2.
Did not bring up the scholarship number for "ha ha's". I did simply to point out how thin and depleted this roster really is. There are 16 true freshmen on the roster. 11 of which are playing and seeing regular time. Two of which get touches at RB, two get snaps at CB, 2-3 gets snaps on the OL, countless others on special teams, etc. You won't want to hear it, but Diaco has spoken about everyone getting better. They get better by playing. Freshmen are playing many snaps. I would take a veteran "less talented" team over a very young yet presumably talented team any day when it comes to winning and winning now.
What do we have to go on by "judging" this team as having talent, HS highlight tapes? HS talent, at least at the level that UConn must recruit generally doesn't have an instant impact nor instant game changing effects at the D1 level. Yet, due to the lack of depth on the roster freshmen are thrown into the current mix to field a team building for the future and years to come.
What do we have to go on? A win against UCF. A valiant effort against ECU. That's what we have to go on.
But hey, if you think that it's the right thing to do to play 3 QB's in the first quarter of a game, and then yank back to the first guy, then okay I guess. I don't think it's the right thing to do, and it's stuff like that which has me posting negative posts...
