So, uh . . . . . . . . here's the UCF game chat.

[UConnDan97]

The good news? There are pieces here to build on for the future.

The bad news? There's not enough here for the present.

 

[BlueDogs]

Lashlee blew any chance at a win by all game calling 3rd and 4th down plays that a 5 year old DC could predict. DBs are pu$$he's when it comes to fighting off blocks.

Newsome short yardage is a proven multi- year failure. Yet, let's do it some more.

 

[storrsroars]

Well, I got to watch 45 minutes of fairly competitive football, which is about 40 more than I counted on.

 

[gtcam]

UCF is good but I don't see them coming close to beating any top 10 team
Maybe I'm wrong but to be honest, I think USF is a better team

 

[Rewster]

I don't understand that call?

Never understood why the ball carrier can literally punch the defense in the helmet(not in this instance) and go hands to the face without penalty. It's is the stupidest thing

 

[UConnDan97]

Well, it was fun while it lasted. Good effort but the usual mistakes & missed opportunities.

Beating BC would erase a lot of things for me. Maybe Pindell getting this experience will help make that happen...

 

[BlueDogs]

Too bad. They had a chance to make some plays and change the complexion of the game. Just not getting it done.

 

[Allbite]

Exactly.

You see glimpses of Edsall building this team back up.

Have to get better at 3rd and 4th and 1. Rbs too tentative on those. That is not Arkeels game but he will be gone next year anyway.

Defense has to get more aggressive and I don't care about scheme. Guys are too apprehensive. Have to start dishing out hard hits and not try tackles guy with the effort required of a fair catch. Better discipline and teaching also. Wide open guys in the secondary week after week is a coaching issue.

 

[BugsyCT]

Let's just punt on 4th down. JHC

 

[BlueDogs]

That's ball game ... can't get a friggin yard... inexcusable

 

[jdb50]

Have we set a record yet for not converting 4th and short in a game?

 

[UConnDan97]

Yet another 4th and 1 situation where wee can't pick it up. Damn it!

 

[housekeys]

The inability of the offense to pick up short yardage has killed us.

 

[noeynox]

Tyler Davis really?

 

[CL82]

And just like that ...

 

[Jaybird65]

Need to run harder on these short yardage plays. We seem to be so tentative.....

 

[housekeys]

Back to the drawing board.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

3rd/4th and 1, just have to convert those.

Also, as much as Sherriffs has given this program, Pindell should start from here on out. Concussions and 2018 should be prioritized now that a bowl game is officially out of the picture.

 

[noeynox]

Exactly what I'm talking about. That's poor coaching

 

[BugsyCT]

gave up 50 points again.

It's the brutal 4th qtr mega-meltdown.

 

[BlueDogs]

The inability of the offense to pick up short yardage has killed us.

Generally when you have to go 1 yard, choosing to start 6 yards back is a bad idea.

 

[UConnDan97]

This fourth quarter is going to allow the box score to tell a much different story than what happened today.

By my count, three short yardage failures and three penalties would have had this game pretty even. Ugh...

 

[minidarren]

I'm speechless as to the inability to pick up short yardage. It's inexcusable

 

[storrsroars]

We can give up another 7 and still cover...
