UConn Gameday...

[Eric15]

We really are not playing bad at all. We have more first downs and total yards than UConn. In two out of our three drives we have marched right down the field.

It’s three stupid plays: the lousy sneak, 3rd and long screen, and clown show 4th down play that killed us.

 

[Orangepace]

We're really blaming Angeli for that? He was drilled right away. He got rid of it quick and still got hit as he was throwing

Not blaming him for that. Was a clean blitzer and everyone dies in that situation.

He doesn’t have the arm to zip the ball. Invest in learning the guy who has it.

 

[SUinNWE]

He holds the ball too long and doesn't seem to have a feel for what's happening around the pocket.

I was told repeatedly that he wasn't the problem last week

 

[FrancoPizza]

Why on a 4th down, after a timeout, is your QB and RB still looking at the sideline with 7 seconds on the play clock? Nixon gets a lot of praise but his system looks indecisive and is putting the offense in a bad position before every play.

I guess his system relies on a Mensa level QB.

 

[SwagSocks]

UConn is just better team

And not really close.

It’s three stupid plays: the lousy sneak, 3rd and long screen, and clown show 4th down play that killed us.

And it was terrible plays that killed us last week. If we are going to out-mistake the other team, we will rarely win.

 

[23Zone]

This offense zero explosiveness

 

[OrangeTarheel]

Angelli doesn’t have a pocket to step into and throw. Not sure how he’s even getting the ball to receivers down field

 

[bigmike]

UCONN playing like a bunch of little brothers who just hit puberty.

 

[Archbold44]

And not really close.

I disagree. We have moved the ball pretty well.

 

[PAcuse]

Is that allowed?

Tackling someone behind the LOS?

It was a mistake, won't happen again.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

This is an awful performance

I'd like to hear more about your comment that we ask the linebackers to do too much.

I don't understand this defense.

We ask the four defensive linemen to get pressure on their own.

We ask our linebackers to do too much.

We put our corners on islands.

Who exactly should have an easy job?

 

[cuseincincy]

That data is not based on our team’s performance though.

The unspoken weakness of analytics.

 

[Orangefizz]

Collins time coming…

 

[Yeti]

Can we take some shots deep. The redzone offense isn’t working.

 

[nocohalo]

Even with Mack out the OL has been fine. Everyone here thinks an OL should give the QB 10 seconds of clean protection every snap. Right now there is just very poor pocket presence. That can be mitigated with a QB with an ability to extend plays. Right now that is not Angeli.

 

[OrangeCrush22]

Will Nixon isn’t good enough to get so many snaps over Willis

 

[RyanCuse44]

This defense is *****.

Glad to see you're still posting. How is your son doing and is he still a cop?

 

[Rufus_13th]

That far official is also doing a terrible job spotting the ball. He also called the fumble that clearly wasn't one.

 

[Cuse On 3]

Jeff Nixon has been horrible

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Even with Mack out the OL has been fine. Everyone here thinks an OL should give the QB 10 seconds of clean protection every snap. Right now there is just very poor pocket presence. That can be mitigated with a QB with an ability to extend plays. Right now that is not Angeli.

Except... he's done that a few times today.

 

[sufan59]

Offense is so out of sorts despite us gaining yards.

 

[SUinNWE]

Please, no, not false starts

 

[PAcuse]

Why have we not used our speed at WR

Even with Mack out the OL has been fine. Everyone here thinks an OL should give the QB 10 seconds of clean protection every snap. Right now there is just very poor pocket presence. That can be mitigated with a QB with an ability to extend plays. Right now that is not Angeli.

The OLine is struggling to open wholes against UCONN, they've gotten bullied by them in short downs

 

[pokercuse08]

That data is not based on our team’s performance though.

On 4th and 2 in/near the red zone it really doesn't matter the talent/playing style. Converting has such a high expected value of points. The only time you shouldn't is in the late third quarter on when the 3 points move you past a tipping point number on the lead.
