Our guys were resilient despite all odds stacked against them. KJ, Wilkins, and Brissett took matters into their own hands.
UR @ STFU 5pm Thursday - few thoughts
- Thread starter MolivaManiac
- Start date
D played well most of the game. Unfortunately, bad punt plays put their backs to the wall couple times when they gave up points. Give credit to O for pulling this one out, even though OC needs to figure out how to call a game that keeps opposing D on their heels. And AD Hardt better be very grateful team won after he got punked this week and put OUR team at risk going to PA. Sun shining a lot today and weather still just fine tonight in RVA.

Correct. Posted towards the end of the year. Rocco was the man. Huesman is not worthy of coaching the CAA.
You worry about future games when you play them. Today's opponent was St. Francis. We won. Successful day.
Oh well, he's what we have and he's got a winning HC record. Could be he's like a lot of head coaches more of a coaching staff manager than an actual coach...... There have been a lot of very successful head coaches who managed and relied on the assistants to produce results.
What did you think of Rocco?
You are living proof that Rocco pushed the envelope too far on admissions.
He was much more calculated as a coach. Huesman’s practices are more of a disorganzed cluster of everyone screaming at each other. Rocco used motivational strategies that actually motivated guys also.
Success is judged a lot more by than just a win or a loss. Preparedness, execution, penalties, play calling, etc. all tell a story unto themselves. Those too are measures of success.
Rocco's departure made me reduce my contributions (even admitting some small portion of that mess was on Rocco's behavior). The mess probably got Gill fired. However there is no going back now. Huesman still got to prove himself.......... flat out laying the blame on the coaches is a good sign.
I would like to hear whoever negotiated this STFU deal to tell me what happened and what they think about it now. I realize hindsight is 20/20 but why not play Friday or Sat up there we pick the refs, etc.
That broken clock was right twice a day I guess. He hit the nail on the head on Huesman.
Were you part of the team when Rocco employed his “motivational strategies” in a 12-10 loss to Gardner Webb or URI?
Like that game at Gardner Webb. We were really motivated. Every coach and team has "that" game. Heusman won his, Rocco didn't. Let's see, one day of practice, 6 1/2 hour bus ride, 3 different hotels, a janitors closet for a locker room, short 4 linebackers and we won with a second to spare. Good times are coming. We've lost "that" game many times in my lifetime.
No, in sports what matters is, did you win or did you lose. We could be prepared, execute, have no penalties, etc., and lose, and it would not be a success.
I personally like Huesman but he has taken responsibility before and it's not getting better. The defense has improved since game 1 last year but the special teams and offense have not. Huesman routinely admits to not paying much attention to the offense. Either he needs to or he needs a new OC. The play calling has been atrocious for 14 games now. And the special teams, kickoffs and punting are terrible. The rugby punt causes way more problems than it solves.
I am really hoping he can turn it around. And quickly.

You are so delusional that you you just posted “good times are coming” after almost losing to a 45 scholarship team. Aren’t we better than this? We were when Rocco was our coach.
Hope this game triggers something in this team that they have to play better.
Sounds like a giant cluster of a week. STFU had us by the stones and we gave in to them. Multiple hotels, 8 minute walk to the locker room, bus getting lost, refs.

Understand. My first post game post. Had to change into clean undies and trousers
lets be thankful they won , and agree they have to be better against caa teams
Look, we didn’t play well. But the situation was weird and didn’t favor us. We found a way to win and that is all that matters. O line has to get better and we need to use ALL of the wide receivers. Use the short passing game to spread the field and help establish the running game.
Huesman took a national championship caliber team and didn't even sniff the playoffs. The team has been disorganized since he got here. Anyone who expects more from this team, well I want some of what you're smoking to kill the pain.
Sorry, 2017, but Rocco is irrelevant and posts about him are waste of time. He made the decision to leave (while burning bridges and before that EW playoff game). We support team and coaches we have right now. Proud of them for pulling out this win in the face of so many adversities. Plenty still to improve upon and know they'll work hard to be ready for SB. Go Spiders!
Huesman has a ring.
Rocco has a game ball he gave himself.
If you are looking for instant gratification, then you are correct using wins and losses as a measuring stick. However the season is a lot more than a one game win over a team that should have been a relatively easy win for us. Over the course of the season, the criteria Iisted will determine if we are successful. They will be self fulfilling or not and translate into a successful season or not.
We had a National Championship QB and the offense was good but the defense and special teams weren't and would not have been under the previous coach. Damn Rick, did you see the touchbacks tonight?
Well, practices for one, at least the 6 or 8 I've seen. Players standing around, nothing crisp like I'm use to seeing from prior coaches. Now I'm no expert by a long shot, but as a fan sitting in my seat, the offense looks uncertain way too often, especially with play calling.
Very smart play. Why wouldn't you tell your guys to tackle on every punt.
Yes, I actually penned a positive post about it earlier! Maybe Griff's hip is all mended.
Because every other ref in the country would call that roughing the kicker.
when you are doing a rugby punt you are considered as a runner, just let the kid punt normally please
Celebrate the win! Margin of victory is immaterial.Showed some moxey when we absolutely had to. We will grow from that.
Note to Admin: Among your primary tasks is to put our programs in the best possible position to win. Perhaps it was the only deal available, but IMO this deal was unfair to the coaches and the players. Please tighten up the contract language on future deals.
