UNH at UMass-Lowell 12/1/12

I swear this is true: the moment I turn on WNTK and log in here, we score! Three times now this season... :-)

I wouldn't call the football team's peformance today stunningly awful Dean -- I joined that one by radio late in the first quarter and it seemed pretty obvious that they were simply outclassed. S*** -- they had something like 460 yards rushing alone, and one guy had 3 TDs and 250 yards or so just by himself. I honestly thought they were lucky that it was 13-7 in the 3rd, due to Wofford turnovers and a TD off a fumble. Offense ended with zero on the day :-(

Hat's off to them though -- and especially to the seniors. They accomplished some very impressive things, in a classy way, and today's game does nothing to diminish that.

Well when all they do is rush and you can't figure out a way to stop it AND you had 2 weeks to prepare for them, I'd call that spectacularly awful. But I am Canadian and we are on the metric system here :). Just sick of the McDonnell clown show. I swear that team wins despite him, not because of him.

Look at the bright side. They'd have had fewer per series if 3rd down were the punting down, and those 460 were converted to meters instead.:D

True fact: Sean was a teammate of mine on my 1974 Lord Hall intramural street hockey team. So cut him some slack OK? :p

Alright, for the remainder of the game no more McDonnell shots, I promise.

My take: it was simply a matter of design. Our defense (4-2-5) is not designed to stop a power running team. Bad matchup, and it ended up costing us a deep run in the playoffs. If we'd taken care of business against Towson, who knows? Maybe we get an easy home game against someone else...that's neither here nor there, of course. But we've never had a good defensive unit...good PLAYERS here and there, but as a whole, our defense hasn't been the calling card of UNH football in this past decade.

Except for a couple of blips when they gave up more points than the GNP of Brazil, the defense played pretty well this year, including today. Today it was a vanilla offensive scheme that cost us the win.

True enough. You look at the points given up per game -- even in ones they won -- and it's pretty stunning.

That said, I thought they played gutsy game today. The offense gave them absolutely ZERO to work with, so they were constantly on the field and under stress. And they made at least two key stops on third and a yard -- and even one on fourth -- that at least showed some effort. Plus they were the ones who put our only points on the board.

Bear in mind that Wofford is a team that beat one team 79-0, and played a decent game against nationally ranked South Carolina.

This particular one is NOT on the D.
