I think we may have been called for less than a handful of holding penalties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, unlike prior games we didn't just give up the series and punt. We actually scored on 3 of those drives. Amazing how much better you look when 2d and 17 isn't an automatic punting sequence.

I think he is getting better and gaining confidence. The screens to the sidelines worked on Saturday, in part, on him throwing a little bit in front of the receiver so he is moving up field when he catches it (instead of flat-footed). I think that is something that the coaches saw and worked on. They are no longer timid out there on offense and it is something I have seen building over the past couple of games.

I've posted this in other threads, but what also helped the screen was we put the TE in motion to help the blocking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better scheming by CWT and company, hopefully the TEs were also in motion on some of our run plays or UCONN will probably sniff this play out every time... Dillon might be our best tackler on the team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a big kid...drive people, don't grab them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The screens don't work well when the passes take too long to get there AND we have a small WR make the first block. The WR just needs enough of a block to pick a lane & run thru arm tackles. McCants run was beautiful, and was a TD if not for the turf monster that grabbed him near the 10-15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillon got flagged for a hold and a chop block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
