This two week old post did not age well for URI football. Two straight losses, one a blowout, have ended all post season tournament consideration. At 4-4, a winning season record is now not even a given.

Note the words "could be"

If I'd said "will be" then it didn't age well.

INEXPENSIVE FLOSPORTS LINK ALERT: (We should add these to new game thread posts)

Shout out to EZBuckets for this post awhile ago. That link still works and you can watch Rhody Football for $15 per month. I just did this and I'm watching the game.

Hey all, for anyone who hasn’t signed up for FloSports to watch the tourney yet, I found a link to sign up for only $12.50 per month instead of $30.

Just go here;

http://flosports.tv/caa

You can then sign up for basketball and even though it appears to be CAA specific, you’ll get access to ALL FloSports streams including the Cayman Island Classic. (I confirmed)

Go Rhody!!!

Two scoreboards, neither one working.

ramster · Unread post by **ramster** » 6 months ago

The old scoreboard is working, just not the clock.

TD Rhody!! 7-7

damram · Unread post by **damram** » 6 months ago

What good is that?

ramster · Unread post by **ramster** » 6 months ago

The new scoreboard was not supposed to be working today. Thorr had announced that earlier this week.

short, short passing game:

last drive:

incomplete
7 yard pass
incomplete
5 yard pass
1 yard pass
4 yard pass, 6 yards after the catch
-1 yard pass, 18 yards after the catch
1 yard pass, 5 yards after the catch

6 of 8 for 46 yards. Actually 6 of 8 for 17 yards if you take away the effort after the catch by the receiver.

14-14
3:11 to go in 1st half
Nice catch and run for the Rhody TD to tie it up

That TD was a 19 yard pass and a 25 yard catch & run. The longest pass attempt of the game so far.

The kind of pass we saw routinely at the beginning of the season against the likes of Stony Brook, Bryant, and even Georgia St.

first two plays of the second half:

33 yard pass attempt down field incomplete
22 yard run by McKenzie

who knew making their secondary play the entire field would open up the running game? Offensive Coordinator 101: An Introduction

jcru · Unread post by **jcru** » 6 months ago

Now THAT's starting to look like the Offense that began the first three games of the season, and wasn't even attempted in game 4 vs Villanova.

Somewhat returned to in games 5 & 6, and then once again mysteriously abandoned, for no apparent reason, in games 7 & 8.

They should have FloSports on the monitors at the concession stands.

damram · Unread post by **damram** » 6 months ago

It just came on.

jcru · Unread post by **jcru** » 6 months ago

Would you look at that...

Strong Offense, leads to pressure on their Offense, to play catch up, and gives our Defense momentum. and UNH unable to counter... punt.

It's like an epiphany took place at half time.

jcru · Unread post by **jcru** » 6 months ago

That drive:

Karim Hill runs for loss of 3 on first down. 8 yard plass. 3 and out.

I think they fared better with throwing a 33 yard deep ball on 1st and scaring their secondary to start. You don't even have to complete it, just put it somewhere where only the receiver can get it, or can't. If nothing else, it will back their corners and outside linebackers up so they don't have a dozen people in the box when you go to run it.

McKenzie rush
Hill to Buchanan catch and run
McKenzie rush

all day long. UNH has no answer for that

jcru · Unread post by **jcru** » 6 months ago

great call there, advance the ball to the 1 on 4th and 2 from the 15.

In New Hampshire, you go for the FG. But in Meade, you go for the first down and the TD.

McKenzie punches it in.

1 yard TD on first down under review.

Refs took the points off the board. URI gets the int and possession but not the TD (only in CAA football)

Tell me you are trying to keep UNH in the game without telling me, refs

I don't get it either.

The receivers on this team are so good, like way beyond what most other teams have in this conference, with the exception of Delaware, that the moment Hill threatened to go deep on their Defense -- he didn't even complete the pass, just attempted a 33 yard pass on first down to start the 2nd half -- their entire Defense panicked.

Like literally, the only thing stopping URI are themselves. Baffling play calling and not playing to their strengths. URI's receivers are so good, as you can see with Hill, he merely has to get them screen passes and 5-7 yard dump passes and they do the rest. Out in the open field, they are lower percentage passes, but when they catch them in stride, often they are gone. TD city.

Hill actually throws for about 100 yards a game, and those receivers get him about 300 yards in the stats column. It was getting to the point that they could have just let Farrell take the reigns if they weren't going to turn things around by half time.

GREAT GREAT GREAT WIN
Run the dam ball!!!!!!!

Billyboy78 · Unread post by **Billyboy78** » 6 months ago

Can someone explain to me why Jaden McKenzie doesn't start? Gabe Sloat starts every game. With McKenzie, you could establish the run right off the bat and play pass off of that. Sloat doesn't do that. That's why this team always gets off to a slow start. It makes no sense.

jcru · Unread post by **jcru** » 6 months ago

In my opinion, they should start every game like they did that second half.

Send 3-4 receivers down the field and throw it deep. And then rush McKenzie the very next play. Stretch them out like silly putty.

Enough with the conservative dink and dunk stuff for an entire half.

rjv · Unread post by **rjv** » 6 months ago

the big issue is that we have 3 wins against teams with a combine record of 3-14 and the teams left to play 3-9
Win last two games for proud.

Entire offense should have been built around him. Would have opened up the defense for Hill and the receivers.
