In every game we have to assume the calls will not going our way. We don’t have any conference affiliations and the refs know we won’t control their next paycheck.
Knowing this, my hope is we can start controlling the line of scrimmage on both ends of the ball whenever possible. Play better in the 2nd half than the first. Tackle better. Have a QB that isn’t afraid of contact and runs to open up the game. Have receivers that get some separation.
I want team that is to be reckoned with both at home and on the road. No more folding up like cheap lawn chairs.
We all know what this looks like but it’s been a long, long time since we’ve seen it at UConn. When we beat a ranked team in Houston a decade or so ago, that was the last time I’ve seen it - hopefully this year will be a turning point.
