The brutal part about that missed FG. We had first and goal on the 4 yard line on that possession. Penalty, sack and then a missed FG.

My final comments on this game: 7 sacks, 16 penalties, 2 INTs, 2 fumbles (neither lost) 1 missed FG, 1 missed XP = 29 times a lack of discipline, skill or execution derailed their efforts. The rose colored glasses tell me that they still only lost by 3. The reality is that they were playing a bad team that they managed to seriously out gain and yet came up on the short end of the scoreboard. For a change, GG seemed to put the blame on the head coach. For a change I agree with him. A totally undisciplined effort against the last team that they will be favored against. This same effort next week against Towson will equal a blow out loss. Let's hope they can coach them up. 14 net yards rushing and 7 sacks exposes the continuing weakness of the O Line against equal or better opponents. Considering the lack of support, Cuff did what he could do. I am not optimistic about the rest of the year. Oh, I forgot the botched on side kick. That makes 30...so once every two minutes they messed up.  That’s inexcusable.

And I’d like to add....our kicker stunk  to high heaven. Missed extra point, missed FG and totally botched onside kick. I know the kid is a freshman, but come on man! How bad is the other guy? 

Burns is a red shirt JR. No real game experience until now but with program 3 Years:

2018: Made one appearance, at Rhode Island (9/8), attempting an extra point.

2017: Did not appear in any games.

2016: Redshirt season.

 

Another BAD loss to another BAD team. Richmond going nowhere in the caa this year. {maybe best D-line in the league, but not much else--could be worse offense in the league.} Yesterday does not sport well for UA rest of the year. No more BAD teams on the schedule.

You are right on point, yet they only lost by three. I do not want to think what Towson has in store for us.  I suspect Towson wants to win by more then 28 points.

Just got done watching. 

FloSports, at least on replay, was 100% flawless.

 

It was by far the best stream I've watched on there.  Only other games I've watched on there were at Albany so worried some of the issues might be on our side at the school.
