Why is the Offense So Terrible?

[Uconnalliance]

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

Tennessee is gonna send them into another stratosphere, the only thing at the Rent by seasons end will be the security team

 

[Bongo Fury]

Played the best team on the schedule today. Best defensive team today but I pretty much agree with all the complaints.

 

[Skiblets]

The drops are inexcusable. The receivers must do better

We got spoiled with the leadership of Finchnand Dan O. Who casts a shadow on this team?

I'll be there.

We have the culture at the university to be independent. We built powerhouse bball from the ground up. I don't understand why football doesn't work.

 

[husky429]

OCs job is to recruit talent, develop talent, and display talent on game day with good play calling.

He's done none of it.

 

[gtcam]

It isn’t just Nick Charlton.

you're right but 80% of it is Charlton sucks makes it pretty damn close to just him

Wait til Tennessee lol

It did back in the mid 2000’s

UConn is averaging 2.5 points per game in the 1st half

UConn has not scored a single point in the 2nd quarter

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Think pretty much all are to blame but the WR corp is just about the worst I think ever seen at UConn. We've been subjected to terrible QBs through the years, but the WR are just so bad.

In no particular order

*Charlton
*The WR transfers Mora brought in
*No RB who can run between the tackles besides DJ Shoemate Jr (Jalen Mitchell)
*Fagnano/Roberson
*272lb FBS center
*Mora because he's responsible for all of it

I suspect Mora delegated too much responsibility to Charlton as Charlton has failed at play design, play calling, identification of QB talent, and WR recruitment.

Yeah it's awful. The offense as a whole (besides maybe the RBs) don't seem to care a whole lot or seem to be trying very hard. The WRs just don't get open most of the time and when they do it's a 2nd or 3rd read and Roberson can't find them

In the 1st half I counted 3 passes that were more than 2 yards downfield, everything else was in the backfield or at the line of scrimmage. Teams are scouting us and seeing we don’t throw downfield, so they’re stacking box making it more difficult to run and those WR screen passes are stuffed at the line.

Full disclosure I left w 6 minutes left in the 3rd qtr because I just couldn’t take anymore, but I think we only threw downfield once in the first 9 minutes of the 3rd.

I don’t understand why we aren’t throwing downfield more? And they seem to have forgotten that Cam Ross is healthy; dude rarely gets targeted. we’ve got to keep their D honest or they’ll keep stacking the box.

But I’ll be there next week, making bacon and eggs in the lot and hopefully watching a more competitive game.

Go Huskies!

 

[KryHavok]

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

With a distinction that Edsall in his first era had teams that fought and won Despite conservative play.

 

[Classof87]

Wait til Tennessee lol

I wouldn’t be too sure. Tennessee has dropped a lot in the rankings. They’ve played three home games and beat three low level teams and one road game at Florida that they lost. I’m not saying we’re gonna beat them, but I don’t know if we’re gonna see a score like the Michigan game last year either.

We avg 2.5 points a half

I’m not saying we’ll beat Tenn, I’m just saying that they’re not as good as they’ve been in years past. Hopefully over the next few games we get some stuff figured out. I’m not giving up on this team.

 

[Chin Diesel]

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

Fagnano stunk and so does Roberson.

Roberson looks decent once the game is decided and defense slacks off. In baseball terms he is a AAAA level minor leaguer. Looks good at AAA but never can play at MLB.

His fefusal to dive hard at the fumble in the first half directly led to a Duke TD. I would have benched him right there. Announcers correctly called him out for mailing it in.

More critical, his refusal to pull the ball and call his own number on the zone reads is further evidence he isn't all in for the team.



Meanwhile the only QB to win six games in a season at any time over the past decade is a year older and healthy and hasn't played a snap all year.

Maybe they can bring back your hero, Whitmer.

WR are a mess and Kashif isn't above criticism for their collective performance.
If Joly plays another down or Buckman goes out to field another punt, it destroys locker rooms or culture about accountability or next man up.

Whitmer was a very good QB.

You're a tool with the worst record on QB selection but Whitmer (who barely scrapes acceptable) was light year's ahead of Fagnano or Roberson.

If they were taking shots and things didn't work out, at least you can see they're trying. Quick screen left, outside zone right, quick screen right. Today just felt like the big brother straight arm palming your forehead while you're trying to swing at him and can't reach.
