UConn Gameday...

[SanDiegoCuse]

Hoping this is the worst half we witness this season.

 

[Forza Azzurri]

Buddy. Angeli has been horrible lmfaoooo. What r u even trying to say

Let’s be clear.

I am not your buddy.

Is there a mod in the house to give this guy his walking papers?

 

[Yeti]

I believe ALOT of leaves are getting raked today

I just checked mine are still on the tree unfortunately.

With a program like Syracuse, where you don’t get the top recruits and biggest and fastest guys on D, you have to run an aggressive, blitzing defense like Shafer and Tony White used to run. Yes you’ll be burned at times, but you have to apply pressure on the opposition. In the end, if you scheme well, you’ll be much better off than the passive crap we’re seeing with ERob’s scheme. At TA&M, his teams had the athletes to play great D. Here we have to rely more on a scheming, aggressive D, with lots of surprises, to keep the other team off balance. Eventually we might have the athletes to compete but not now.

What if instead we just played the corners fifty yards off the receivers?

 

[tbonezone]

i mean we're lucky right now to be trailing only 14-6. what does that say ?

 

[qdawgg]

Losing 2 guys to injury really hurt that position

Fair point, forgot about that with how annoyed this game is.

 

[Aqua2050]

The pass defense has been atrocious so far. They had guys wide open for days, nobody within 10 yards they just didn't make the throws. This could be far worse than it is right now.

 

[BillSU]

Time to put in Rickie Collins. Why are we throwing the ball mis to the sideline all the time?

 

[OrangeMojo]

It’s imperative that we get off the field quickly on this first second half UConn drive.

Bad news for ya - Mora will coach circles around Erob on their first possession

Will you accept a screen going for 15 yards against a 4 man rush on the first play?

40 yard plus run

Cultures can be broken very quickly. They must respond before it’s too late.

 

[hoopsupstate]

At some point, Fran has to kick the field goal until the offense can CONSISTENTLY show they can get 2-3 yards when they have to. They’re establishing nothing to this point.

 

[orangefog]

Our lines should be RULING this game, and neither are doing it.

 

[baggerbob]

So one weakness of the Nixon offense, and I'm not sure why this is, is it doesn't seem to have explosive play potential that eats up yardage on the field.

Having his son as the 2nd running back means you don't have any back who is a threat to take it to the house.
We did alright last year as an offense without him because of his injury. We really need someone who is a threat to break a long run as our backup back.

 

[Archimedes]

I've been worried about the WR's for awhile. No guarantee that anyone was going to step up in the amount needed this year. Or be able to step up. The WR group felt like how most people summarized most of the Babers teams before the season ---- lots of potential...

The short passing offense we're trying to run depends on WRs getting YAC to be explosive. Good point.

Their D may be small but they play smart. They are anticipating the short passes, which disrupts everything.

We're a little too predictable right now.

 

[Yeti]

I dont like this announcer telling me who I have to credit. .

 

[ADKDave]

2nd half will show who has more depth

 

[phreddie]

Bad news for ya - Mora will coach circles around Erob on their first possession

Yeah, I think a lot of SU fans are "whistling past the graveyard" abiut the fact that Mora is a better coach than Fran. At least at this point in their careers.

 

[newmexicuse]

Poop or get off the pot time. Many disliked my post after the last game when I called Angeli the Charmin man and said that he was no warrior. Prove me wrong !! I really want to eat crow tonight !!!

 

[Orangezoo]

Crying to the mods because I’m disagreeing with you. Hilarious. Keep it moving, bud

How about having an ounce of respect given you are a new addition instead of acting like a tool anytime someone has a differing opinion.

 

[RyanCuse44]

Most of us after this first half -

 

[JimBoston]

The UConn line couldn’t even get pressure in the clown team they played last week.

They didn't show anything last week. Their D is designed for the LBs and DBs to apply the pass rush.

 

[AZOrange]

lol Duce angle on that td run

 

[SUforme]

Yes just because you are big doesn't mean crap without execution.
