UConn Gameday...

[JeremyCuse]

It’s time to really reconsider expectations about this season. Team looks unprepared which is most worrisome

Honestly a number of us were pumping the brakes over the summer when people were talking about 9 or 10 wins. It's gonna be a struggle to get to .500. Right now this looks like a 3 or 4 win team. Defensively were an absolute mess

 

[Archbold44]

I am usually pretty aggressive, but I think not kicking the FG hurt us more than it helped. We did not run a trick play against Tennessee... but we do it against UConn? Terrible message. Tennessee took the points against us.

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

This defense asks waaaaay too much of our linebackers.

Cover 4 and no lineman who can push the pocket, I feel bad for our linebackers.

 

[PhatOrange]

Too many personnel changes, too much looking to the sideline, too much moving around pre snap. These things are all net negatives with the defense imo.

 

[sufan59]

Everything just feels so off. It’s hard to describe.

 

[Nick44]

Fran needs to take over defensive play calling

Why Fran? He has no experience calling plays. It should be Wright, at least he has DC experience.

 

[JJReddawg]

I have zero confidence in this defense getting any stops. Whether it’s 3rd and 5 or 3rd and 20. I just hope the other team makes an errant throw, drops a ball, fumbles, etc.

 

[qdawgg]

Defense plays so passively, like they're trying not to miss tackles instead of flying around making them

In fairness, that's because they do miss a lot of tackles.

Agreed

 

[BeetleCuse]

I understanding establishing the run, but on offense I think it’s time to unleash Angeli, see what he can really do. I want to retain the identity we had with McCord, a solid pass based offense for a dome team makes sense.

WHAT
A
JOKE

 

[pacusewife]

I’m done for the season. This is stupid.

 

[orangefog]

Absolutely freaking clueless

 

[klemmer56]

Sparrow took the worst angle i have ever seen.

Quite literally ran into the blocker, and was the reason that play went for what it did...

Gross failure.

 

[Rufus_13th]

What is going on. We are not winning at the LOS.

 

[23Zone]

Defense obviously awful

But offense atrocious too

 

[OrangeFreek]

I have seen enough of Angeli!

 

[Flacuse]

That was too easy

 

[orangemass]

Seriously fell for that?

 

[SUinNWE]

Holy smokes, that was so slow developing and they still got exposed on defense.

 

[Blanko97]

Well thank goodness that DB saw the TE going out for the pass and decided to just point at him

 

[sufan59]

Pathetic when you know right away we didn’t sniff that out

 

[pokercuse08]

We are playing with no heart.

It's this. The lack of intensity on defense is our main problem so far today. Defenders are playing like they expect UConn ball carriers to collapse on initial contact. I suspect Fran will fix that part in a hurry.

We are not going to win!!!

their trick play >> our trick play
