Nixon:  This is the first time I've watched a game and asked myself:  "What the hell is Nixon doing?"  For example, that failed trick play on 4th and 2 deep in UCONN territory that fooled absolutely no one on the Huskies' defense.  Of course, it didn't help that Angeli couldn't throw the ball into the ocean for a long stretch of the game.  But, he did resurrect the passing game when it was crucial.  Things Nixon ought to think about:
1.  Willis should get the ball twice as much as his kid.  At least.
2.  Get creative with the run game.  Allegedly, we have some super fast RBs.  Use them.
3.  Work on 3rd down and 2.  It shouldn't be as hard as we make it look.

Robinson:  Got to hand it to him.  He made the adjustments that kept UCONN to 2 field goals in the second half.  Not bad at all.  He still has a maddening tendency to go soft in critical situations.  Like on the drive that put UCONN in position for the tying field goal.  He pressured, pressured, and then went soft allowing the long completion.   Granted, the guy had to make a superb catch, but if the QB was under duress, he doesn't make that throw.

Brumfield:  For the first time in the Fran era, special teams don't feel like an adventure.  OK, they missed a field goal.  But, someone said it was Fran's kid doing the long snapping with resulting problems.  Maybe the kid needs to practice this season instead of coming in, in critical situations.
