The rushing game was a positive. We weren’t sure we had good running backs and a good o-line the first couple of weeks.
Hugo was a positive.
I felt if we ran the table we would have an argument for a home play-off game with the only loss coming from a game where our starting QB was out. That feeling is gone. At this point I have no idea what our identity is. We currently are not a lot of things. We are not a consistent, we are not an elite passing team, we are not a good or even mediocre defensive secondary, we are not a good in game coaching team (mind boggling play calling, no clock awareness, zero in game adjustments)…..To be fair our run game has been good on both sides of the ball but that should be complementary offensively given our passing game expectations and defensively it should be a catapult to boost the pass defense…witch neither was the case today. Going to need to be near perfect here out…..
To borrow from the old political phrase “we don’t have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem.” —
We don’t have an offensive problem, we have a defensive problem.
Apologies for not proofreading comment. But I think my points are there.
You ever have one of those days.? Well Yale certainly did. That happens. Let’s bury this one and get ready for Penn at Franklin Field next Friday.
It’s been a long time since Yale has played this badly at the Bowl. The coaching staff clearly failed to prepare for a Rhode Island team that displayed a potent passing attack with a backup qb Alex McClelland and All American WR Marquis Buchanan who has the size and speed to make our defensive secondary look helpless. Nonetheless I continue to believe we have the talent on both sides of ball to compete for the Ivy championship particularly now that we have rising star Kemeni at running back. His talent is too important to risk an injury in Yale’s final offensive series with only three minutes left and a win out of reach.

The only positive is it’s not a league game.
