UCONN post game

[Capt. Tuttle]

I can’t believe Peña had not one but TWO TD’s get taken off the board.

Now, the first one - Meeks was waaaay too obvious w the pick.
WR needs to act like he’s “accidentally” crossing and bumping into the DB -
Not get down into a blocking stance.

But the whole “that trick play was toooo tricky!”
call was utter HORSESHITE.

One UConn’s last TD, they had 2-3 receivers just run over our defenders.

Please walk up to your friends this week and invite them to Miami.

If they reply with “there are a lot of red delicious and honey crisp to be picked” please disown them.

Come on apple season is over. This is the main competition on Saturday

A very mediocre football team with absolutely exceptional QB and WR play. We are middle tier ACC not upper , not lower, score reflects that.

don’t think we get it done next week but have a punchers chance. May be good for the team being a big dog.

You are the Canadian that breaks the stereotype.

 

[Trueblue25]

Not upset at all. We beat a tough, dirty, crybaby uconn team and have 8 wins heading into Miami.

I wish Uconn well in the idaho potato bowl

Taylor Tannebaum talks like she has never left North Carolina in her life.
'Up there in Syracuse'...'up there in Chestnut Hill'...'down there' in Florida.
She sounds like a bumpkin.

You pay attention to what she says? Definitely focus on her other attributes

I shouldn’t be critical but I was rewatching the halftime show and she kept saying ‘up there’ and ‘down there’ and it was like fingernails on a chalkboard.

I may have missed it but why was Pena on the bench the 2nd half? Injury?

Yes. He spent the 2nd half on the sideline in sweats. Hand or wrist, we think.

 

[NCo’range]

Damn we have some tough receivers.
Hope Trebor Peña is ok and can show up for Miami.
I'm going to miss McCord.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

That’s why if we don’t land a stud qb for next season it could be brutal with the schedule we have

I wouldn't mind loading up on running QBs and rotating them knowing they'll get the crap beat out of the. VT didn't lose anything going from Drones to the guy we saw this year until he got hurt too second half.

With our great passing game and no run game everything is weird including stats.
If we had any run game we would be 10-1 or even 11-0.

 

[Cuse House]

I just have this feeling we put it all together next weekend. The environment will be electric and I think we will know after the first few series what type of game it will be.

I get this sentiment but I actually disagree with it. Our passing game is elite, and the short passing game is essentially run plays. There is no true need to have a run game when you can pick up 4 or 5 yards whenever we want through the air. I think if we had a few more stout pieces on defense we would be 10-1. I truly believe this team is 2 dlineman and 2 above average corners away from being a playoff team.

 

[CIL]

This. Those 4-5 yard throws are generally an extension of the RPO game.

We are 8 and flipping 3. We’ve had exactly one season like this in what, 15-20 years? But people are mad that we didn’t cover.

Good lord.

 

[CuseLegacy]

I respect just about everyone on this board but I will say this, I for one feel so fortunate for this season right now. I know you guys have suffered so much this century, and as a newer fan (2021) I'm going to savor every moment of this.

Some of us suffered in the last century also.

A run game, a better defense, better Special Teams, less turnovers...

Understand this take which many cite. Games we lost our elite quick game got shut down leaving us impotent. In the red zone or more accurately inside the 10 - it presents challenges.

 

[Finwad32]

I was just looking at some stats for giggles. I thought it was interesting that Kyle McCord has roughly the same amount of passing yards, completions and TD’s this season as TD had in his career.

He’s put together a hell of a season by any passing metric we’ve ever witnessed here.

I think he’s in the NFL for a long time. Not necessarily as a starter, but there.

I wish Uconn well in the idaho potato bowl

I would guess they end up in the Fenway Bowl. BC and Pitt don’t want it. No one in the ACC does. Our Greg teams will probably end up in the Boca or something better than Boston just before Christmas.

Better for them to get a semi local team than someone like UAB that brings 100 fans.

 

[PhatOrange]

Interesting looking over the participation report

Jahlil Martin started last weekend and was a DNP today.

But besides all that Mrs Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?
