Time to pad the stats in garbage time to continue the “try hard” narrative. We get it: you hate Coach Chesney. This is acceptable to you? I know youth ball coaches that coach 6 year olds that put together better game plans. They also bench kids that don’t perform. It’s how competition works

UNH takes the final "knee" [need - was an autocorrect] to avoid what would have been an easy TD.
Classy.

UNH being classy here and not scoring....that is really a program we should emulate as much as possible.

I don't think we should be surprised that we're 1-5 through six games. I imagine most of us thought this is where we would be. These first six games are probably the toughest start to a season since the 80s.
The troubling part is that the offense is regressing. Well, it's probably stayed status quo since it was very bad since the first snap of the season. Part of this is on our QB play, but a big part is on the OC. While we'll probably see Murphy calling plays for the remainder of the season, I would be absolutely shocked if Chesney doesn't go find someone in the offseason who's a more seasoned and capable OC.

It’s how competition works It's not acceptable, but I'm not looking to lynch the coach, He deserves a chance and I don't believe that 6 games, no matter how pathetic many of them were, is enough of a chance.

As a head coach, you’re in charge of an entire program. If an OC isn’t functioning after 6 games, changes are made. You would continue with Murphy through the end of the year? Hahahahaha. What a nice gesture to your upperclassmen.

Ky I think we’re all frustrated after all the hype and lack of significant results. You play the hand you’re dealt and make things better whether in business, athletics or the military.

Agree with SoV, at the very best, we could have been 2-4 at this point.
That was not the 0-4 UNH that most saw up until today...Knight makes them a very solid team.
Chesney is going to be tested to stay positive/keep the guys positive etc because next year's schedule is just as daunting

Watching ‘Bama and Arkansas. Incorporate some of ‘Bama’s plays in the arsenal. Do they ever watch other games to innovate?

This really is quite simple - The OC needs to be replaced, it could not be more obvious that he's not qualified to coordinate an offense at Holy Cross.
Nothing personal at all, maybe he can stay on as a position coach or something.

Tua is a talent that hasn't been seen in college football in quite some time. They can do some things with him that we, along with many other college programs, couldn't dream of doing.

I’m talking about offensive schemes and execution. Don’t need a Tua.

Through six games, we have scored eight offensive touchdowns that have not come in garbage time: two against Colgate, four against Yale, two against Bucknell.
Incomprehensible.
That Yale game was clearly an outlier.
The rest of the PL is so so bad, that I'm hoping we can end the season by winning three of four against Lehigh, Lafayette, Fordham, and Georgetown. We could also lose all of these games.

Harvard is next on Friday night. Massey has the Crimson as a 14 point favorite (28-14). Not unexpected, except that the score could be a bit too conservative.

These schedules were put in place 5 or so years ago with the thinking that we'd be much more competitive with the return of scholarships. The program imploding in the meantime has set our "time-table" back a few years.

Good effort guys! It was a nice surprise to have our starting qb back and it made a huge difference in how we played! Good luck the rest of the way!

SOV & 87 said that most of us here probably figured we are where we expected to be. My picks this week were all sarcastic and will likely go 0-4 as I purposely picked every team I thought would lose since no way I can climb close to the top of the leaderboard. But, here was my pre-season predictions for each game: Colgate L- we never win in Hamilton and they won't be sleeping. [hate to be so right!] BCL - it'll be closer than many expect but not enough horses yet to pull an upset. [missed by a country mile] Yale
W - toss up but giving us the edge FINALLY playing them at our place! [what a genius I am!] DartmouthW- totally agree we should have won last year. [what a stupid person I am! ] Bucknell
W- if we haven't won again games by then and don't win this one, uh-oh, VERY bad season [good thing we beat Yale or a "VERY bad season] NH L- too much incentive for the nationally ranked Wildcats for major payback. [OK, Einstein has nothing on me!] Harvard L - a close one, perhaps, but still a loss. [with half a season gone, think I will still be right with this one] Lehigh L - the league leaders. If some of my predicted losses are wins, we could pull off an upset but not mortgaging the house on that kind of outcome [yep, still probably a loss but maybe not] Lafayette
W- will start a winning streak to end the season on a positive note [still comfortable with this prediction] Fordham W- agree that Rams best is in their rearview mirror. [hopefully we get them again] Georgetown
W- Only way we lose this is to overconfidence and don't think Chesney will let that happen. [hopefully, the Hoyas won't pull an upset on us] So, 6-5 record, again, depending on an upset either way. [So, I figured we'd be 3-3. Didn't expect the Yale win but also didn't expect both the Dartmouth and Bucknell losses. Gotta win every remaining game upsetting both Harvard and Lehigh for my prediction of a winning season to come true.]

FWIW 1-5 (W/Yale and Bucknell flipped) is where I saw us enroute to a 4-win season (with a lot riding on the Fordham game). Rebuilding after a large graduating class (w/PP) and back to back 4-7 seasons meant, emotions aside, a 4-7 season was about the best we could expect. IMHO.

P.S. I wonder if this afternoon's results would have been different if we wore black or gray uniforms? More seriously, I was not in agreement that TG was fired and would have preferred they fire an assistant or two (offensive coordinator, for example) and ponied up some money to pay for some really good, experienced assistants. Instead, they fired TG. I understand why they felt they had to do that. I totally supported, and still support BC as head coach. I think, again, we have a problem with the OC. I am not expert enough to think firing him will solve the problem but both the play calling and the signal caller seem to need to be changed. As I posted earlier, Wade is consistently inconsistent. Semi-brilliant play and then something bonehead like staring down a receiver and throwing into coverage for a pickoff to kill a drive. The staring down a receiver is on him. Poor judgement calls on who he passes to are on him. He can't seem to go to a secondary or tertiary receiver - on him. Cozier diving up the middle is on the OC. And the bottom line, as head coach, it all falls on Bob Chesney. Despite it all, I am still a believer in him. I gotta believe it is killing him to see himself where he has to win every remaining game in order to keep his winning season record alive.

I am sure that is his goal, but I cannot see us beating Harvard. We might close on a win streak, but we will have to beat Georgetown to do it.

This is a fact - If we play like this we will not win another game until maybe 2019 against Georgetown. Just can’t figure out how we looked so great against Yale. I know we had little tape on our offense and Yale isn’t as good but even accounting for that it makes no sense.
