BC Post Game Thread

[Jetskies]

And I can tell you by living in Boston, Boston College is not even a blip of attention on the sports radar.

but but but - one of their slogans plastered everywhere is "for boston"??
BC simping for boston

I’m sure we will dial up something great. Look how well Brock did with 2 weeks of prep…

We need play makers on defense badly. I think even the worst Edsall years at least had some playmakers

NickDanger, you don't know about BCU? A few years ago maybe more of a decade. Someone said that he's going to Boston College University, it is still used..

It was actually the ACC. They didn’t even know the right name of the school they were inviting. They were an afterthought.

I was there... BC had great stadium, polite fans but we took over their stadium- felt like a home game.

Their stadium fans lacked that football energy - felt like most came to socialize -which was fine for us!

that wasn't true for UConn fans..z

just remember when they visit us next year -their fans mostly friendly and hospitable

Probably true with any city with professional teams.

Don't think that's always the case. NYC loved St. John's last year and takes notice when UConn basketball does well. Seattle loves University of Washington football and LA loves USC football.

Best QBs in UConn history:
1. Dan O
2. Joey F

End of the list.

Shane Stafford...very good QB...

BC fans were gracious as I was walking around after the game. They look defeated by this season. Their coach should invest in moving boxes if he doesn't finish strong

Can we agree JF is quite excellent recently. Kid is on fire.

JF adding to his repertoire running smartly, without hesitation, and aggressively, has brought him to a whole other level.

I just wish we beat Delaware and Syracuse...now what game is listed as a loss now on our schedule?

I wonder if we had any shot at sneaking in the top 25 if we didn't blow those games. No sense in looking back though, win each game in front of them from now on.

UConn probably gets a vote here and there to be in the top 25. But we can't undo the losses. The more important thing they didn't allow those 2 losses to start a downward spiral into more losses. I can't prove this, but I feel like the Syracuse loss carried over to the Delaware game, at least for the defense it did.

We want to be New England’s team- Gene Defilippo.

If the Cuse game against BC this year is close, will Fran Brown make his team do post game wind sprints in front of everone? He should.

I think it definitely had an impact on the Delaware game. They had like a 97% chance of winning the Cuse game late before everything fell apart. That's tough to come back from mentally.

Countdown until the first person says "we just beat a bad team."

As if I care; still beats losing to bad teams.

Color me National Flag Blue!

Congrats to entire team and coaching staff. Especially HCJM

 

[Sky ball]

Defense stepped up huge in the second half, proud of this team. This was UConn’s game the whole way, and they never let off. Great win on the road in Boston, go huskies!!

The whole way? First Half? LOL

 

[Rdkid]

Justice served

 

[JetsUC93]

OMG, what a great result for us. I don't care if BCU had players hurt, they had homefield advantage with their conference refs, and today we were the better team on all sides. Fagnano showing he can ball. I am so happy with this result, and someone said in the chat (sorry, forgot who), one more win makes us bowl eligible. How ironic that our last win after a bye week was also against BCU? Thank you UConn!!!!!

As

I can now die a happy man.

Love this post!

Watched Shane at Memorial while I was a grad student at UConn. He was great.
I also have a warm place in my heart for Tyler Lorenzen.

If we were undefeated coming off a 2 score win on the road against BC, an absolute demolition of FIU the game before that and had that road win over Cuse to point to as well, I think we would've cracked it tomorrow. If not, we would've had a lot of votes in the RV category. It does sting a bit, since cracking the top 25 is a great way to silence the naysayers.

As you said though no sense in looking back. Just finish strong, one game at a time. Another strong season still helps the optics surrounding the program

Great gameplan by Sammis. I was really impressed with the pass protection. They OL lost 2 tackles last year and now look better than ever.

I would have laughed at the thought of JF in the NFL only a few weeks ago. But now that he is using his legs, he looks like a complete QB. He is making good decisions. I see him as an UFA now.

Bell knew how good JF would be with another year…smart move by him to use his last year of eligibility to play with a QB that he knows. Both are reaping the benefits of that decision. Other WRs and TEs with a nice game also. Not sure I remember one drop?

Edwards and Rosa played tough and were solid.

Defense is still shaky…but BC has a pretty good offense. It still feels like it’s too easy to run on this 3-3-5. But…linebackers are getting better every week. Parham had 14 tackles and 2 sacks…oh my.

Can’t wait to watch this team play their last 5 games. Let’s hope they came out of this healthy and will be ready to battle a decent Rice team coming off a bye week on the road.

I'm really struck with Vereen... Gonna be a fun couple of years.

I think the Delaware team we played would beat BC

I thought it was big us stopping BC on fourth down in the endzone. We altered the catch so good job defense. Sometimes you need luck on your side. We got lucky with BC being offside that gave us a first down but sometimes you need a little luck. Great win for UConn and I heard Skyler had a good game. What did he do in the game?
