Nice rant, but way, way over the top.

For perspective, SU was leading that game into the fourth quarter.  Interesting game to watch overall, with UConn helping us with turnovers; bad outcome because UConn converted its chances in Q4, while we didn't it.  Nassib had a solid passing game after a slow start; terrific game by Lemon; very good second half by Provo.  Opportunistic play by the defense in 1H.  My point -- it really wasn't all bad.

If you are going to pile on the coaches for every thing that went wrong, who gets credit for the fumbles-caused, and the interceptions made?  Or the 275 yard passing?

Now, some things were pretty bad.  Coverage teams (and the kicking) were horrid -- about as bad as it gets.  The difference in the return/coverage teams was a huge factor.    Couldn't stop McCombs or McCummings, which is partly a credit to the UConn blockers.  Conversely, our OL didn't create much room for Bailey.

If you want,  you can blame coaching for some of what was bad -- for the basic differences in blocking and tackling, you might have to give the UConn players an edge.
