I think because of Kyle last year, people are expecting more out of Angeli. Yes he came from ND, but he has very limited experience.  It’s a completely different scenario and it’s going to take time.

OL can not handle a stunt or a delayed blitz.  UConn saw the tape and replicated what Teneesee did. SU took forever to adjust, and Angeli took some big shots.

Hated the two 4th down tries in the first half.  I didn’t mind the call to go for the first one, but absolutely despised the play call.  Trying a sneak on 4th and 2 was god awful.  The second one, I just wanted the points.

The one thing that continues to disappoint me is the inability to just drive it down someone’s throat.  Our line is supposed to be so big and overpowering this year and we continued to try and throw way too much.  I wanted to run it right down UConn’s throat and overpower them. I like Nixon a lot as a pass catcher but he leaves a lot to be desired as a runner. Willis needed to get more carry’s earlier In the game.

Heck of a play on the 4th down by UConn but chestnut completely failed the situation.  You guys are killing EROB for the play call. But they had perfect over under coverage.  Kid made a tremendous 1 handed catch in the only spot the ball could be delivered and chestnut just watched it all happen right in front of him.  HE NEEDS TO COME DOWNHILL ON THAT AND DRIVE RIGHT THROUGH THE MIDSECTION. If he comes downhill on that line a safety should, game over and no overtime.

The way Fran talks with confidence and dart.  I almost feel like the team lacks that aggression he talks about.  I want to see us overpower teams like UConn and punish them.  On both sides of the ball.  That’s where I am a little dissapointed.  We keep getting bigger and more athletic and yet it seems like we are still going through the motions at times.
