Why is the Offense So Terrible?

[ZooCougar]

Just curious.

 

[HuskiesFan1014]

I've been silent about Charlton. Dude HAS to go. Just abysmal. GO.

 

[WrenchFan69]

It's all of the above but Charlton is probably the worst offender and he's paid $500k to do so. Also the most easily replaceable. He can go tonight. Can't get new eligible players until next year

 

[huskysupporter]

It isn’t just Nick Charlton.

The play calling is insanely stupid. Beyond stupid. You would hardly know that we were trailing by 4 TDs in the third quarter.

At this point, if the reason that we don't throw is because of the OC, then fire him. If it's because Roberson can't throw, then put Zion back in and at least build for the future. The guy at least got us a bunch of wins with this OLine last year...

No hope for this program 2 steps forward and 5 miles back, lost all faith in Mora

 

[BlueandOG]

The drops are inexcusable. The receivers must do better

 

[JohnFSilver]

Just curious.

All are problems.

I would rank issues of offense here.

1. WR
2. Charlton
3. QB .

All are contributing factors. RBs are good. OL isnt great, but it has some good players on it.

They need to play Rosa and Houston at the same time.

Biggest issue program is a national embarrassment case closed

 

[Palatine]

Maybe Fagnano really did win the starting job and we miss him.

The nation doesn’t notice. We’re just a scrub team nobody cares but us.

Reverse Palatine.

I didn't see that coming.

Two very obvious answers..... ROBERSON and CHARLTON

Not quite there but a couple more displays like that and I'm with you.

 

[Forte]

It isn’t just Nick Charlton.

You are right... Kinda... It's also the QB's and WR's Charlton recruited ... o wait ... Charlton yes Charlton has to go

 

[Windham4th]

Glad Colorado lost. Everyone will be focused there... silver linings

Where do you start with this dumpster fire? I tell you one thing that made the start of this season a mess. Another conference realignment fire drill just before the season began did deep damage. After the typical kabuki we were left holding the bag. The kids know and obviously the whole staff knows that we are relegated to an awful football indy existence for the foreseeable future. While it is a sad joke, it is our reality. I will resist my default move to harangue about all the reasons why, you have heard them all.

We do have to remain vigilant and ready to move when ca stirs again. At some point, many of the smug underachievers in conferences will be in for a surprise as further consolidation occurs.

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

It feels like it's Charlton because he is responsible for all elements of the offense including recruiting.

They didn't replace the talent they lost at wide receiver. They didn't attract an FBS portal quarterback. Roberson doesn't appear to have developed... and since he beat out Turner, you have to assume he hasn't developed either. Offensive line seems adequate. Running backs are ok.

Add in what appears to be bad situational play calling...and you gotta put 90% of this on him.

 

[CTBasketball]

I’ll eat my crow I thought Roberson would be the guy to give us a spark…I’m not sure he can do that.

Play calling is Edsall-esque. Way too conservative and way too afraid.

 

[giddyup]

My level of disappointment in Mora is pretty darn high. His post game comments were pathetic. He like the teams enthusiasm. No change in O. Still trying to run outside and passes are horizontal. Terrible coverage continued. Disgusted. No real leadership.

Give me Zion Turner and John Marinelli or else I’m not going to renew my tickets. I’ve been there every year since 2006. Enough is enough.

 

[Urcea]

OC and QB aren't good

 

[Devland]

At halftime we had 11 yards rushing and 13 yards passing. Everybody wanted a balanced offense. Unfortunately we've done it by bringing the running game down to the passing games level.

 

[jdb50]

First and ten and Charlton runs the reverse, now 2nd and 21. Charlton calls a run to our right that looks like a read option but isn't as our QB is no threat to run. The play is executed poorly and our RB fumbles the pitch, turnover. There were times there was room for the QB to run but we can not take advantage with the present personel. Our bubble screen game is a disaster. The fumble in the backfield by Mitchell was another play it looked like the D knew was coming. Charlton is not effectively coaching his players so that they look like a FBS offense and we have to be the worst offense in FBS.

 

[NEforceUConn]

Unfortunately I thought our QB was lacking.
