We dropped 26 points today...

between the two turnovers in the red zone, not kicking 3 pats and not kicking 3 field goals when having the option on fourth and long. That said, we moved the ball well enough to screw up 5 times in addition to scoring three times. So there is optimism to be had.

Those first quarter end zone turnovers just killed this team. If they had scored instead, lead 14-7 going into the second quarter, VA would have been on their heels not UConn.

No pressure on their QB gave UConn's offense no chance at catching them which kind of forced Edsall's hand as far as going for the 2 point conversion. That and this team is slow. That's why they lost.

Long snapper Zechinno is ill and not make the trip. It seems like a benign position but that killed us today.

Next week is a must win game for us. At home, have to up the offensive production as we are not going to hold teams under 20. We spit the bit today in our second game but Mizzou beaten badly at home today, same with BYU. Memphis wins by outscoring UCLA. We have to hope Lashlee can up the efficiency for us.

Every game is a must win

I just want to see the defensive backs play better and not on the back of their heels the whole game like the past two games.

I'm tired of the excuses for losing, even if they're valid.

"We're missing five of our front seven on defense ..... "

"Our long snapper is sick .... "

"If it wasn't for three red zone turnovers, we were right in this .... "

"If only the offensive line could just pass block a little better .... "

Good teams don't have these problems. We're just not a good team.

Long snapper Zechinno. It seems like a benign position.

Far from benign. The fact his pic is now in the player intros on the video screen tells me this staff gets it.

The blame absolutely falls on their predecessors as this was inherited but how the HE!! do we have only one long snapper on our roster?

Once we fix the offensive line (make take until the middle of next year) our offense will be a thing of beauty.

There was a back up, Brian Keating, who presumably wasn't ready for prime time. Two ways to look at this. Good call not risking the FGs with a shaky long snapper, but also you gotta get the dude ready!

I'm trying to understand your point. Do you actually believe people are saying we are a good team?

there are definitely posters here who think we are much better than we are

I guess you didn't get my point. I'll try to lower the bar next time.

No. I'm tired of hearing people say things like: "If we could have just avoided the three red zone turnovers in the first half, we would have been right in this game".

Well, we didn't avoid them. We never do. No one short of Bill Belichick can turn this water into wine.
