Iowa State 24, UConn 20: Yikes.

PrintPaul Pasqualoni is insane, because he thinks Johnny McEntee is the "accurate" quarterback. He has completed 31 of his 69 passes this season.
Paul Pasqualoni is making it up as he goes, because for all the fooferaw about "continuity" last week, he continued to switch quarterbacks at whim, despite one of them - Scott McCummings - contributing on both offensive touchdowns Friday night.
Paul Pasqualoni is heralding an offense that is actively handing points to the other team, an offense that would be the best in the country if "Throwing Short Of The First Down Line On Third Down" was a category.
I could theoretically write for hours on every other thing plaguing this godforsaken team, but nothing quite sums up the state of UConn football like the fact that - despite all evidence to the contrary - Paul Pasqualoni believes that Johnny McEntee is our quarterback. (Nothing personal against the guy; he was given a shot, and he didn't perform. No shame in that - he's hardly the first UConn QB to play poorly.)
Unless something happens, in a hurry, this is going to be the worst UConn football team since 2001. And that's about all I can write without popping a blood vessel.

Does Pasqualoni survive this season?
All things considered, probably not.
When You Say Stupid Things Like This
I totally understand your stupid Big East ballot.
Er, two weeks from now.
The point is that UConn is going to the MAC and you know that this is going to happen because of TV markets and revenue and the fact that nothing goes right ever ever ever.
Nah
We’ll be fine in Conference USA.
YOU’RE GOING DOWN, UTEP!

I do have to say, it's not as if we didn't kind of expect this...
TWIST! UConn hires Paul Pasqualoni as head football coach
UConn football begins next chapter with same old story
Those are the first two articles put out by you guys about this hire. Between the articles and the comments, not too many were super excited about this hire at the time.

Maybe not
But the idea of a struggling team and actually experiencing a struggling team are two different things. In a few weeks or months, when tonight is just a historical footnote, we’ll probably write something like that again.

Very true
I think Formula 2007 has kind of jaded us a bit. I mean, that was not a great offense, but it seemed as if things always worked out for UConn despite the lack of a competent QB. So despite the obvious signs that this team was going to struggle, we had that inner optimism that all fans have going into a season no matter if you’re a Yankees fan or a Royals fan. Unfortunately, it looks like that little bubble has burst? Bring on basketball…. unless Drummond can play Q….

On a positive note
Holy cow is that defense fun to watch for the first three quarters before they get tired and start letting up big plays.
